How many of you run a 75 shot of nitrous?

[Jeff Adams]

Just curious. I am about to buy the NX stage one system and was wondering what jet to use. I am thinking of the 50 shot. I have heard of people going 75 and was wondering how many of you do it? Seems kind of risky to me.

[brandon6976]

I wouldn't mind knowing as well. I'm runing the 50 shot currently

[n/xgts]

i have been running a 75shot for about a year now with no problems.

[minhtin]

what kind of fuel do you use? and you have gts right?

[Celica2K2]

i ran 50 shot for a short while then moved up to 75 on my 02 GT with short ram and nothing bad happened

[minhtin]

eh i dunno. with 91 octane in ca, i wouldn't run 75 shot on my gts.

[cmiguel32]

I ran a 75 shot on my GT until someone f*'d with my car. Didn't have any problems really.. besides toastin plugs every now and then (and i ran copper plugs 2 stages colder) the only thing i recommend is making sure you use a wot switch and a window switch. I installed the nx window switch and it worked great.

[DJ_GLITCH_OS]

I ran a NX 75shot for over a year and had no problems.
Burnt up my factory plugs in about 6 month, but thats about it.

[Jeff Adams]

I think I am going to play it safe and go with the 50 shot on my GTS.

[minhtin]

how did you guys know when your plugs are fried? will that contribute to detonation if plugs are fried?

[n/xgts]

i use 93 octane and NGK spark plugs. yea i have a gts. i check my plugs just about every other time i get the bottle filled.

Oh... you'll know. :)


And I would not go any higher then 50 on a GT-s.

[cmiguel32]

heh, lets just say your car at idle won't be the same when your plugs are fried.

;-)

[minhtin]

can you guys explain it more in details? how bad will idle be? will it drop to 200 rpm than shoot up to 3k? how will i know? cuz my engine will start banging or something?

[JimmyPusPounder]

i've been running a 50 shot of nx in my gts for awhile now. All I did was change the plugs to the ngks. I've been thinking of going up to a 75 shot for awhile now. The car seems to be running fine with the 50. Blowing by mustang gt's and wrxs is I think i will try it once just to see though!:D

[brandon6976]

has anyone runing the 75 shot gone to get a Leak Down Test to see if there has been any damaging effects ?

[loudceli]

ran a 75 shot for about 6 mo. and I burned up an exhaust valve on the #2 cylinder. Also burned up my plugs on #2 and #4 cylinders.

[minhtin]

lol i am not running 75

[kuruptgt]

im on my second motor runnin a 75 shot it all depends on how much you use it its a GT

He actually showed me that valve... bitch was burned and part of it was missing... after seeing his setup I'm considering copy-cat'ing his setup with a 50 shot with a WOT switch.

[FL Honda Stompr]

ive been using a 50 shot on my direct port setup and i swear the car should have came with that much power cuz it feels like it was meant to go that fast.

thread ressurection i know, but on your second motor? is that b/c you blew the first one with a 75 shot? If so what mistakes did you make to blow it? Also does anyone know of someone thats blown there motor on a 50 shot?

[1zzVVT-i]

i've never heard of anyone blowing there motor on a GT. its really on how its installed and how often you use it. for a GT-S..i believe the most you can run safely will be a 50 shot and a GT 75shot

[mrtomcat]

ran a 75 shot for while until recently, no problems at all, loved it.
However I ONLY ran it on 103 octane gas

[Liqquid]

I run similar size shots also on my gt-s, (also with race gas) the only thing I heard of on the GT is somehow people having fuel puddling in the intake manifold and blowing the plastic apart

[Quick_GT-S]

I run 75 shot except for mid-summer, I switch to 62 shot. On hot days your bottle pressure will be much higher. This method has worked well for me for years.

Is this on a gt or gt-s... what kind of gas were you running? What spark plugs?

If you guys ever get the chance to see what too hot of a plug will do on the dyno you'll get the idea of what happans... I've actually seen a 30!! whp gain from changing to the right heat range plug... the wrong plugs will cost you horsepower and cost you money when the engine is destroyed from detonation
