i dont know seems shady and there is no extra fuel line...
so i dont think it would be a good idea... all other nos systems have a nos feed line and a fuel feed line so you dont lean out... this one doesnt have that fuel... so i personally would say no

cory

ps
its a neat little system tho

Correction Turbo SE, he SHOULDNT HAVE gotten that.

You are bidding on a brand new never installed hidden "DRY" nitrous kit by Shady-Shot for most import and domestic 4, 6, 8, 12 cylinder vehicles.


Most people dont run nitrous on rotarys, but if they do, its CERTAINLY a WET setup. If you like driving your car at all, you wont install that. Do an effing search for nitrous setups on the forums, and Im sure youll find some good info. Just please, learn about what youre doing before you try and do it

Your stock motor Was Not designed or engineered to handle the volatile nature of Nitrous Gas. If you wan't to run Nitrous Gas I suggest you get your engine race prepped to handle it or I feel a Pop of the engine and loss of compression in your near future should you install it. It might run it a few shots but you had better watch out. Just my honest opiniated facts.

I have researched it, there is a company near where I live that will race prep a motor to handle the stress and volatile nature of Nitrous Gas. here is their website, http://www.rotorsportsracing.com make a wise decision and don't do anything you might regret.

You get what you pay for. That looks like a paint ball gun gas cylinder filled w/ NOS. Its a dry kit, and unless you have Fuel Injection, it most likely will F-up your car. The shot is small, but you can go lean quite quickly, annnnnnnd that will last mayby one or two runs at the max before a re-fill. Small cylinders expereince pressure drop quickly. That kit looks like bad news.

DO a search and spend a little more and you will be alot more happy.

There is no such thing as cheap horsepower.

These are just my opinions, though.

the thing can't be worth more than a single gear pull before the bottle is drained. My setup doesn't like to see pressures below 800-900 psi which is about 6-8 lbs of n2o. Other than that I usually won't run the spray.

that reminds me of the sneeky pete shot I saw in summit racing..
sneeky pete



it reminds me of the first 'fast and the furious' movie, where the 3rd GEn rx7 had 3 or 4 bottles in the seat.

Its really looks like a paint ball bottle. It seems the kit that comes with it is made from parts pulled together from around. I won't test the quality. I remember a guy(paintballer) that had to have surgery to remove air that was traped in his hand when his tank was leaking when he first filled it. If you buy it.. BE CAREFULL and keep us up to date on your progress.
