Question N/A with NOS !!??

Okay here's the deal. I don't want to turbo my N/A motor, or take the engine appart to port it until it blows . so... has anyone installed NOS on their N/A?? How much power gain are we looking at here?

i have an 86 n/a with a zex system on it i am 55 shot right now and it does pretty good, i am going to run a 75 shot but i have to retard my timing to do it. nos is cool but expensive, i say try it. i once raced a stock imprezza wrx and stayed door to door with him all the way through 3rd gear, then had to stop. its the only alternative for speed for n/a owners i think.

I have installed both a dry and wet system on FC's. Check out my site for more info and write-up's on both installs. They are under How-To's.

Question What else??

What else do I have to do other than installing the NOS system?? Will a stock motor be able to handle 50 to 70 more horsepower without screwing anything up?

Yes provided that the rest of the car is in good running condition. It is always recommended by me to do a compression check with Mazda prior to doing any modification like this.

I'm about to install a direct port fogger NOS system, in about a week (when I go get the parts that came in).
Do a search for NOS, I have recently written quite a few threads on them in both TII's and NA's.
Can't find em, ask here again, I'll give you most, if not all, of the info you'll need, to run a SAFE set up.

some people just don't like common questions.
If you don't like them, stay out.
Its like posting "shutup" in a NA-T2 thread. New guy was just asking a question.

For $500 this sounds like a pretty good mod! On an N/A, what else would be the minimum to run this? A k/n intake upgrade? What exhaust mods would be necessary? Any fuel mods needed (assume a wet NOS)?

Fuel pump has to be able to provide enough fuel to mix with the Nitrous. If the system runs out of pressure, you inject extra nitrous, and less fuel from the injectors, and run lean (*pop*).
Run an a/f meter, and a FP gauge to be the safest, along with an upgraded pump.
I run plenty of fuel... from a 1200 hp inline pump.

I will running: 550cc secondaries, Apex'i S-AFC, and a TII fuel pump in order for my 75-100 shot of direct port. Just make sure all is well internally before you do this!!

Rico, bro, are you planning on running dry?
Only fuel pump output and jetting affects a wet kit, and from the way you list (primary size and S-AFC), I assume dry.
A wet kit just adds an nitrous (air) and fuel together. The actual injection of fuel through the injectors and metered air is unaffected.
I've been readingyour past posts. Seems like you're gonna have a screamer of an NA when you're done.

for that high high a shot, I recommend a wet kit, like the TII kit. Anything over 50 hp should be wet.
for 80 hp or higher, try the NOS direct port fogger system.
I am going with a similar setup, it'll be running an extra 120-150 hp in a week.
230 hp NA! Big goal, but definitely doable. Street ported?

Your bro, for sure (and drunk at 3 in the afternoon)

I run it actually.
Just don't have AIm downloaded yet. Do I need it, or can I just add people through Trillian?

how many 'shots' can 1 get from the 10lb tank? From the installation above, it appeared that you get hit every time you floor it! I know it depends on the injector size and all, so ballpark guesses are fine. I guess my real question is, after the fuel pump upgrade and NOS initial install, How often would I have to change the NOS bottle, and about how much would that be, say, a month (in US dollars)? Average use. I live in a town so small even the ricers can find someone to race with.

You can't put a turbo on an n/a motor, but you can put a supercharger on it, which is almost better. You make power all the time instead of waiting for the exhaust fumes to warm up the turbo. As far as NOS goes, run with it! NOS is great!

When it comes to turbo's and supercharging, it appears you have no idea as to what you are talking about.
