Nitrous help? upgrade tranny or internals or what

[tommyd369]

I have an automatic 2.4L ga :huh: and i was thinking of only doing 50-75 shot nos, maybe 100, would i need to do anything else to my car to make this work fine for awhile? i have exhaust and cai, and soon 65mm tb and ported manifold.......if that matters....

N.O.S. kits are nice, as long as you run them safely. Change your plugs to 2 degrees cooler plugs, make sure you're not running lean before spraying, and you should be good to go.

[tommyd369]

Do you think to help controll and monitor my engine and the leanness and what not, would it be better to get msd dis-2 ignition and a bunch of guages like NO2 pressure, air to fuel.....or what...

No. I would get a fuel pressure guage, and a n2o pressure guage on the tank, if you really really want to get guages. Find someone with a diagnostics scanner, and make sure you're running somewhat rich before install, and you should be good to go.

Are the NGK pulgs 2 degrees cooler than stock spark plugs?

dont spray more than 50shot if you have stock engine and be sure to have 92 or higher octane fuel and spray when rpm gauge is at more than 3000. What NOS recommends its to have a good fuel flow and free exhaust flow. A higher output ignition will also enhance performance. Colder plugs is also recommended and do not put chips that advance timing as detonation may occur. But if you do it safely, you should have any problems :thumbs:

[PontiacGT2K]

You can do more than a 50 shot.....it ain't no thang. But yeah, don't advance timing.

will that matter if you have it set at WOT? cuz it will spray automatically right? thats only if you push the buttom yourself. please currect me if im wrong

I keep seeing you say NOS, so I assume that's the kit you're running? If not, quit saying NOS. "naws" is a Fast n Furious term, N.O.S. is a company, and nitrous/n2o is the stuff you spray.

i was thinking of doing a nx or zex which you you guys prefer?? also id prolly only go to max 75 shot after i get other mods, but for now just 50 shot, should i get dry or wet kit?wtf

Gas can puddle in the intake, not a good thing.

[TheShizzy]

how come nobody else has mentioned having a problem like that before? ususally guys on here have nothing but good things to say about the wet kits, and never mention puddling? i would think a dry kit would be more risky cuz of the higher possibility of not having enough fuel

[tommyd369]

maybe the stock intake manifold on the 2.4 puddles, but do you think that having a bored out tb and manifold would help the nitrous not puddle??

[tommyd369]

because i have a tb and manifold coming in the mail and im having aleroboy port the tb and manifold.....

It's not the flow rate, it's the design of the intake manifold. But no one has had a problem to date to the best of my knowledge. I just wouldn't run a wet kit out of fear that the intake could puddle...

[tommyd369]

are you running a dru kit or what??i saw in your sig you run 14.5 or something, do you have a 6 or 4 cylinder and what have you done to it??

I run a dry kit. The puddling in the intake isn't something anyone witha 3400 has had problems with to my knowledge, but it does happen in some cars. I'm just saying, it can happen.

[TheShizzy]

so you were saying only the 2.4 guys would run into the puddling problem? im planning on getting a NX wet kit. hopefully it wont puddle on me.

I'm sure you'll be fine either way you go, I have no clue man, never looked at the intake manifold on the 2.4l.

moved to "N20"

BTW: I'm selling my kit in the "for-sale" section.
