Nitrous Install

cc370z · 02-08-2012, 02:19 PM

I don't know why people on this forum are so against nitrous. I've ran nitrous on many of my past cars with no issues. If you take the correct safety precautions theirs is no reason why nitrous isn't a safe and reliable power adder. But you need a competent installer. (not saying yours is not)

NeverBoneStck install is looking very good and super clean. I would follow his build and make changes that fit your needs.

OP, where in Canada are you?

I would definitely find another mechanic. It sounds like your going to run a single fogger on each intake. If you can, running a direct port system is the best and safest route, but single fogger systems are fine. The placement on the intake is key because each cylinder needs to have an equal amount of air, fuel(if you're running a wet system), and nos by the time it gets there. In the past I've placed mine around a 1-1.5 foot away from the throttle body along the intake.

The most important part is the testing phase. When the install is complete, do a semi hard pull and check your spark plugs. Make sure they're all evenly covered in soot. If not, check the jets/foggers and make sure they're aimed directly down the middle of the tube or try placing them some somewhere else. Clean the spark plugs and test again until the nos is being distributed evenly.

BTW - I would only go as high as 75-80 shots.

1st. Like everyone is saying, get someone else to do it...installing a nitrous kit is pretty easy to do and if a "mechanic" is asking how to do it, you got issues.

2nd. Mounting the nozzles is pretty simple. The zex kit should come with a tapering bit to drill the hole. You can either A. mount the nozzles directly in the pipe, or B. mount them in a jam nut that will mount in the pipes.

Here was my setup...not the cleanest but it worked perfectly. The NMU is right below the (as your looking at it in the pic) left intake by the throttle body.

Nice! On my last setup I mounted the foggers underneath and bought black hose covers, ninja style!
