stock 370z with nos
 

hey guys i am new here so work with me lol.
i have a 09 370z stock with about 9000 miles on it.
i am thinking to put a nos kit that i had for a long time and never used it.
i am thinking of a 50 to 75 shot to get some more power.
is the nos is safe for the car knowing it is stock, i alreday have the nos kit and it is free why not use it, can u plz help me, what should i do

How much do you value your motor?

i probably will keep the car for another 2 to 3 years,
and i am not thinking about doing any other performance work on the car, thats why i want to know if it is safe, oh and will not be useing it all the time, some street racing or just a few good track time

I would NEVER spray a brand new engine especially in a car that does not need nitrous... but hey it should handle a 75 shot just don't spray it every weekend.

thanx wolf370z,
there is this very fast srt4 that i have got by a car be4, and this week he is upgrading his turbo to a bigger one just to prove a point, there isn't any 370z that i know around my area, so i thought if i get the 50 or 75 shot of nos and he gets the bigger turbo then i can still beat him,

First off welcome to the board, now I hate to be the troll but lets lay out some ground rules.

We don't talk about street racing here, yes we've all done it but it's mainly looked down on here. Sure you could probably sneak it into a post or two but talking about street racing an SRT-4 will get you flamed, so I'll give you a heads up.

This forum is primarily made of guys who don't use terms like nos so if you're talking about a nitrous kit that'd be something to keep in mind.

Lastly, about your post. So you plan on running a 75 shot without any other supporting mods? Why don't you do some research. Sure a nitrous kit can be setup but just slapping it on will need to a big boom down the line. This isn't a sohc 4.6l Mustang we're talking about. The VHR motor is a different kind of monster and frankly any temporary power adder should only be used after proper tuning. Frankly you're doing your car a disfavor by jumping right on nitrous. Sell your kit and use the money for quality bolt ons namely a cat back exhaust, some hi flow cats or test pipes, a long tube intake, and a tune that should give you a good punch.

Finally, don't race SRT-4's. If you really want to run him, run him on a track and make him look stupid.

Once again, welcome to the forum, take my post as constructive criticism and guidance and not as a personal insult.

thank you NYBladeZ
i will be more careful, that was the answer that i was looking for

:iagree:


Welcome and Congrats! :hello:

:iagree:


sell the kit buy a superchareger then blow him away on the track no use in getting ur car taken away and put in jail



Welcome :hello:

I wouldn't want to spray. Damage the engine and no warrenty cause of it. No fun

NoS = BOOM!! = Your Wallet -$10,000 = : (

Just buy Lou Fusz's TT 370Z.

"Lastly, don't race SRT-4's. If you really want to run him, run him on a track and make him look stupid."

:icon18:

:iagree:

thanx guys

man i street race all day er day lol jp.

Why does everyone think that adding nitrous will instantly cause your car to explode? Nitrous can be just as dangerous as a turbo kit, but it can also be just as reliable. Of course you'll want some way to tune the car for the added nitrous and not just install the kit and go, much the same you wouldn't put a turbo kit on without a way to tune it. When used properly, nitrous is great fun. I'd love to put a kit on my car and get an extra 100 horses or so, but doing so WILL void the warranty which is something I'm not wanting to do just yet.

Doesnt the Zex kit comp for A/F adjustment, so basicly you cant even hurt the motor?

Hurt meaning Nitrous vs Turbo. They both add HP....

:iagree:
NOS can be safe if used properly.

I disagree. I simply cut a single hole in my hood, mounted a NOS bottle there, cut a hole and hooked into in the intake plenum, and cranked the bottle open. evilNOS then blew up my motor! :mad: NOS SUX! :mad:

you mounted a nos bottle inside the engine bay?

I want one for emergency cases ;)
NOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!

No, in top of the hood with a hole cut through for access. Isn't that how everyone does it? I tried putting the bottle inside the car like I saw in a pic once, but the lines would get crimped when I shut the door. Poor design I'd say. :straightfacesmilie:

Im pretty sure you wouldnt wire it through the door...

^ lol

Im pretty sure you shouldn't take him seriously...

I know when I put NOS on my car, it's where my bottle is going. This way when the engine warms up it will also warm the bottle, saving me from having to buy a bottle warmer! With the money I save I can buy more NOS stickers and gauges to make my car go even faster.

Oh lol

i think your motor blowing up is a result of your improper mounting method. Personally for that sort of setup, i like to use bungee cords.

puuleese! :rolleyes:

I used the very best tiewraps money can buy! THE THICK ONES! :mad:

im just wondering if your serious??? please dont take this the wrong way but if your even asking "isnt that how everyone does it" you shouldnt be playing this card game.

Were exactly did you mount the bottle and why would you every run the lines through the door hinge?

and were did you mount the nozzles at

Its not a poor design. you just cut corners.

I must be one subtle mothafocka from anotha motha! :D


No, I did not actually mount a NOS tank on my hood with tiewraps nor did I run the lines from my interier though my door to the engine. I was attempting to parity why NOS has a bad rep....mainly do to people cheaping out on the supporting mods necessary to make it safe to run. Some just strap on a tank and go, often with disasterous results. Done correctly, the HP generated from NOS is every bit as safe as that from turbos or SC.

I think you will be safe with a 50-75 shot. Just make sure you have the car tuned properly with the right nozzles.

haha all i gotta say is... in for pictures :tup:.

For those still interested in this subject. I installed the Zex NoS kit on my car with a 75 shot and runs great. If interested see my thread....
