I remember Steve Kan saying that he runs nitrous on his 7 with C16 in the tank. I am getting tuned again this Feb. and would like to know if putting nitrous on my car would be a good idea. I am assuming that I could only spray it when I am running C16? Is this correct? Also how big of a shot would you go?

My block is bridge-ported (half-bridge)
It also has 3mm apex seals but it IS NOT dowel pinned.

What do you guys think?

what kind of 3mm seals...some seals say, NO N2O

talk to ray at mallory, iirc...he runs a shot.

personal opinion...if you want it to lower your ET...I'd tighten the nut behind the wheel first.

With your setup and how you drive, don't spray.

Stock Mazda 3mm seals.

But if you're going to do it, spray the world at it.

holy **** is that 6 stages of nitrous?!?!?!And i thought 4 was alot

LUPE

4 stages on a Big Chief-headed True Ten-5 car in Texas. Looks like 4 directport stages...3 up top and one "hidden" under the intake.

LUPE

Here's a car from this years pump gas drags running 3 stages...2 stage direct port and a plate system. Had 3 bottles in the car and 15 more in the trailer.

Ray only runs 12 psi on stock twins with a small shot. Totally different ballgame here.

Based on what I've seen, the 'big name' drag racers primarily use the spray to spool up their big *** turbos. As long as you can up the boost, why screw with nitrous?

Well, I called RX7Store and Xavier told me not to do it.

Then I called Gotham Racing and Brock said they had a FD in the shop right now that is running nitrous.

So what should I do???

Rpat312

well that car is only running a 50 shot and from what i heard a 50 shot wont be bad on ur setup. i plan on doin the same cause my stock ports are gonna have a hard time spooling a gt40r . jut dont push it.

Well, you never really answered my last post. Are you looking for better spool or more power? Personally, I don't think it's worth the complexity and potential for a blown motor on a street car. Just run c16 and crank the boost

More so for extra oomph rather than spool up

Ask you tuner. I imagine it is both what is best for the engine what the person feels comfortable tuning with.

I'd up the boost and/or try and lighten the car a bit before adding nitrous. I am running 4.3 gears in the back and noticed a nice increase in acceleration at speeds below 70 mph.

Edit: Also, you need to talk to guys who have been running nitrous on high boost/power applications. Talk to Steve over at Gotham and Chris or Ari over at RP.
