nitrous
This question goes out to all those guys "running" nitrous or "personally know" or seen a nitrous setup on a 12a or carbed rotary engine.
Im interested in knowing what setup people are running, what shot and where can i find a bolt on kit that requires mild modification if any. let me know what people think.

A reference to The Fast and The Furious when Paul Walker said he needs a big one. No, make it two. And, he needs it by tonight.
Can't believe I remember that word for word. Ha!

OOOHHHH yeah! sometimes those kinda things stick in your head. Good one DriveFast7.
But seriously, i've read a ton of stuff on here searching the threads using "nitrous" as the keyword. I need more info, preferably first hand knowledge!!!

Do what I did. Read about 100 of the posts on nitrous, call and IM some of the experts.... buy all the parts you need then sit them in the garage and contemplate putting them back on ebay.

I watched that movie a couple of days ago. I'd forgotten how cheesy the dialog is. Still the best of the three, though.

...except for putting the boxes back on eBay, same story. Between the RX-7 and the '68 Firebird parts-that-need-to-be-installed, I gotta have close to $20 g's of parts doing a whole bunch of nothing in my garage. Let me find the pic that shows what I had up my sleeve for the injection side of Furious' nitrous system yet to be installed.
It's on a different PC, so it'll be this afternoon before I can post it.

fwiw most "I installed NITROS" threads are followed up with "I need a rebuild now" threads.
Be very careful. Nitros is very dangerous to the manifold. Consider putting a laptop in your passenger seat to warn you of Danger to Manifold. And have it flash annoyingly bright.

Still don't know why they stuck in that floor plate to drop and cause sparks. That was pointless.
"Oh NOES!!! I'm going so fast, my floor is falling off and spitting the bolts out!!"

but back to the original topic. How race tuned/set up is your engine because to run NOS safely, you need fairly high end components to the engine. otherwise you will just burn it up i believe

There is a rotary kit with an actual PN on the NOS website...however, it appears everyone so far has bought all the pieces from a variety of places and cobbled it together...you really need basic mechanic skilz and thoughtful safety switch layout to keep your engine together...each injector shown below will get the smallest nitrous jets for starters...I'm thinking 40 - 60 HP should be the result.
Ignore the green arrows, they were for an old thread removing the hot air flapper for a dyno-certified 5 HP gain...

Its not that hard. I personally seen a handful of carbed 12a's sprayed but the most NOS I personally saw used was on a 13b fb w/ a 150 shot running a holley 650 DP. That thing is crazy fast for a street car.
