hey guys, well the story is like this....my friend just straight up gave me this nitrous sytem from ebay... he said it was like 100 dollars and its only 50 shots of nitrous...i was wondering is there a way to put this system on my 79 12a engine?

 

I think you'd get more out of huffing the fumes, seriously.

Those shady-shot systems have to be one of the worst ideas ever, aside from slamming your junk in a sliding glass door.

 

The only thing useful there is the bottle. Aside from that you'll have to completely assemble your own nitrous kit.

 

I agree with the two posts above me. With N2O the tuning is everything. No tune no life for your motor. You will need a lot more parts to do it right and keep the engine in running condition. A bigger bottle will help to since that tiny bottle will not maintain optimal pressure for more than a couple seconds. You would also need a bottle heater at a minimal if you want it to be consistent at all. I'd recommend some type of wet shot and all the equipment that goes with it then tuned on a wideband. You will probably need an adjustable fuel pressure regulator as well and a higher volume fuel pump. If you do it right you should be able to get an actual 50 whp and be more safe than the "50 shot" which would only probably put 25-30whp out back if even that much. N2O is highly misunderstood and hardly ever done right. I have see many properly tuned engines running 150+ whp shots that last for a very long time before needing to be overhauled. My close friend has had the same motor in his street car then now his professional drag car that has had approximately 500+ lbs of N2O through it (250 N2O assisted hp to the front wheels not to mention the turbo. CAr makes over 700hp). The motor is a B22VTEC. It's a stroked motor in case someone wants to jump oin my *** and say those are B20VTEC dummy or whatever. Trust me I know more about Honda motors that most people know about rotaries on this board. On the other hand I know nothing about rotaries and what they can handle. I would assume that adding 50 to the wheels shouldn't be asking too much for a 12A if it already runs smooth and doesn't have a misfiring problem of any sort.

 

You should buy my kit already man...

 

what kit is that timmybighands
