My GXL is a rebuilt and maybe streetported, but im not sure. I was wondering if its a good idea to spray N20 in my car. If yes, what kind of kit should i use ect... Is 50 shot safe?. I'm thinkin of onli using it at the dragstrip because my n/a is pretty much slow. I mostly into auto-x and stuff, but want it in case i need to drag. Thank You and flame away.

Is this a trick question? Spend your money on autox.

You dont know if your engine is streetported??

I voted no, because it wreaks havoc on the engine life and yours is just rebuilt.

But if you're going to drag, yeah.

 

I got this car Free from a friend and he bought it off a guy and the guy told him its rebuilt. The reasons why i think it might be streetported because it sound different from my first GXL which is not ported. LOL i was just wanted the FC owner opinions if its a good idea or not.

 

i spray. its a great idea if you use it correctly.

 

Could u explain what kinda set-up u did ect... ? Finally someone thats actually think its not that bad of an idea.

 

u cant get any HP like a normal 7?? sounds like u have no skill nor talent, and u dont belong behind the wheel of a race car, if u want nos and u just dont want to spend any time tuning and u jus wanna go fast in a snap of a finger, get a honda, dont ruin ur rotary. u wanted advice so theres mine, and yes , alot more ppl are going to "flame away" on this topic. good luck

 

while ur installing ur N2O...learn the song "pop goes the wankel"

 

there is a great post somewhere...use serch

 

Yo. I voted 'no', for the simple reason that if you have to ask, you're generally not ready to take on the task.

Do some research, I have posted plnety on the subject, and unlike 90% of the above posters, I have first-hand knowledge in the subject.

I have experience running nitrous on everything from a stock 6 port block to a 13bt with dual stage direct port to a bridgeport with dual stage direct port, with several variations in each set-up. Chances are, if you have an idea, I have done it and can tell you how to accomplish it, what to buy, and how to make it work safely.

Corrections to above:
You can forget the song, "Pop goes the wankel". Nitrous won't kill your engine if you set it up correctly. The only failure I have experinced while using nitrous was a cracked rear endplate.

After exhaust, porting, and intake, very little can be done to the 6 port block to make it significantly faster and keep it streetable. Nitrous is a good option in this case.

It does NOT wreak havoc on engine life. The loss of engine life is equal only to the amount of power added. It only shortens life by being a more powerful engine. This added wear only comes when the system is engaged, so you might kiss away 1000 miles from a 200,000 potential.

No skills or talent to use nitrous? I really question that comment. Does the commentor really have any experience in tuning a nitrous system? Its not just a bolt on and go thing.

Anyone wanting to contest these comments should also make sure to post their first hand knowledge with tuning a nitrous injection on a rotary, what exactly went wrong, and their exact system for analysis. Without this experience, it is all hearsay, which is really quite useless.

 

I kinda agree to a point made above. If you require nos to be fast (drag or autox) then you really shouldn't even be behind the wheel of a race car. For one (it should be noted ive never been to the drag strip) I'd imagine that if you are spraying nos at a drag strip, it really does so everyone else that the only way you can win is via a handicap. 2) Autoxing really isn't very dependant on high hp numbers, but rather how you drive.
I say spend the money to take a 1 day course at a race school

 

for drag=yes
otherwise=no

 

I thought about it, and you know, I think most of us agreed that you would probably get alot more fun out of going to the driving classes too. Anywhoe. my 3 cents

 

**** i ran a N.O.S. systems universal dry kit on my basically stock 87 base . only other mods i had were custom single exauhst, intake, colder ngk plugs and some new wires. i was running a 75 shot and my car loved it! i only used it at the track once with a 40 shot and i droppeed 6 tenths off of my time.but i was noticebly faster with the 75 shot just by the fact that i was beating slightly modded turboII's on the street. so basically i say get a n2o kit its definetly worth the money and with a lil dyno time you can get it tuned just right to where you will have no worries.

 

Ok thanx for u guys opinions. I was wondering if it was a good idea for a rotary because i read somewhere in the forum that anything under 75 shot is ok. I already have things plan for this car which is going 13BT swap in the spring of 2004.

 

It all depends on what kinda shot you are planning on running,I wouldn't go over a 75 shot.BOOM!BOOM!Nitrous isn't for rotary engines there too delicate.I voted no but good luck on your decision.

 

I would say just do it properly. A lot of people who blow their engines with nitrous or turbos were trying to do more than their fuel system can handle.

 

yeah spray until the motor goes then that will force you to do a t2 swap. Actually blowing your engine can be a good thing if it makes you go ahead with a swap

 

auto x is sweet, i was a dragger, now i love auto cross ... but then again i have a camaro and a RX so yeah......

 

 

I entirely disagree with this statement, Nitrous properly tunned is just as effective and non detrimental to a rotary than it is to a piston! And depending on tunning you can go as high as you want but don't forget with nitrous you are adding oxygen to the engine, when you add more oxygen you better add more fuel! otherwise you will run lean and POP!
Like scathcart said with proper knowlege and tunning it is perfectly safe!

 

Bullshit! There are plenty of rotaries that handle 400, 500 bhp on compleltely stock internals. This isn't a piston engine, there's no pistons to burn a hole through, no bearing caps to let go, no connecting rods to bend.

Anyone who claims a rotary is delicate is doing something wrong. They are an engine that will take gobs of power, but they will not accept mistakes.

Again, I stated that idf you were to comment, you should have experience in the subejct. You, obviously, have none.

 

This is why i posted this Thread wondering if its true that Rotary can or cant handle N20. After these comments from u guys ill stick to saving for my TEIN suspension then.

Thank You,

 

Nice!
