At a very basic level, yes. However, we would always add a nitrous pressure gauge, purge kit, bottle heater, and a nitrous controller to every kit. Progressive controllers are a fantastic way to spray larger nitrous shots without compromising traction. Typically, you want to spray as much as possible as soon as possible, and the adjustability of our progressive controller allows you to bring more nitrous in after the hit without having to run as many stages.
Different brand and size solenoids will flow slightly different, even with everything else the same, and so may throw your tune up off. Larger solenoids have much poorer control when being progressed.
Straying outside these limits can have catastrophic effect. The nitrous controller allows you to spray only within the parameters you set. Remember, a computer will always be faster and more accurate than a human!
Not only does purging look cool, it also has a practical application! Purging before a run helps get any air in the line out of the sytem, and can be used to lower the bottle pressure if you overshoot your target pressure.
Our jet charts are calculated based on PSI nitrous pressure. Our solenoids are rated for PSI, and can be damage above that. Running higher can damage the solenoids or cause you to run lean, and running much lower can cause the mixture to be very rich. Smaller engines with less cylinders can still be sprayed stock, but smaller amounts may be necessary.
Typically, yes. The cooling effect of the nitrous will increase boost pressure and cool down the air charge, making it denser as well. This usually results in extra power gain over the shot size. For every shot, a 10 second use will use approx. This means you can typically do runs with a shot using a 10 lb bottle.
The only accurate way to measure how much nitrous is left in the bottle is by weighing it. Weigh the bottle, then subtract the weight of the cylinder found on the label from the weight, and you will have the weight of the nitrous left in the bottle. You can mount the bottle either way.
If stood upright, make sure the label is facing towards the front of the vehicle. How much does it cost to get nitrous refills? Are there nitrous systems available for late model imports? NX makes a system for every car manufactured today. What comes with a nitrous kit? Most NX systems come complete with a 10 lb nitrous bottle, stainless steel bottle brackets, 16 ft aircraft style supply line, N2O filter, lifetime warranty nitrous and fuel solenoids with mounts, all standard jet settings, an NX patented Shark nozzle nozzles , or a patented carbureted plate, wide open throttle switch, a complete installation pack that includes all bolts, nuts, washers, wire, wire terminals, lighted arming switch, and complete instructions with pictures.
Will I need anything else to install the kit properly? To complete the installation a Gen-X package should be ordered with the system. This includes the bottle heater, liquid filled nitrous pressure gauge, low fuel pressure safety switch, and a external bottle vent fitting and plumbing kit.
Can I hide my nitrous system from a novice tuner? Yes, it is quite easy to hide an NX system from the casual observer. Can I use nitrous on my turbo or supercharged vehicle? Yes, NX specializes in turbo-supercharged nitrous applications. What are some general rules for creating the most horsepower without damaging anything?
Generally speaking the amount of power that can be created with nitrous is almost limitless. To avoid a catastrophe, the internal components of the engine must match the amount of power that is going to be generated. Is a nitrous system worth the money horsepower per dollar wise? A: The optimum nitrous bottle pressure is psi. Most companies offers a bottle pressure gauge that makes it easy to monitor this. Q: Do I have to change my spark plugs after installing the nitrous system?
A: YES, Due to the increase in horsepower the nitrous system creates, the quantity of heat generated in the combustion chamber goes up. It is required that you install spark plugs that have at least two steps colder heat range. This helps to ensure detonation free performance when using the nitrous system. NGK has nitrous specific spark plugs available for many makes and models of vehicles.
Q: Is it OK to use a nitrous system on a high mileage engine? A: It is OK only if the engine is in good mechanical condition. The primary concern is to ensure that the engine does not consume excessive oil. Oil in the combustion chamber can cause detonation. A: Generally the answer is NO. This additional timing, when using nitrous, can cause engine damaging detonation. Q: What is the safest way to activate a nitrous system?
A: The safest way to activate a nitrous system is by using a wide-open throttle switch. Most nitrous systems utilize this type of activation. Activating a nitrous system at anything less than wide-open throttle can greatly increase your chances for an intake system backfire. If you desire to use a push button for activation, most companies offers this as an accessory item. You can simply install the push button inline with the wide-open throttle switch.
A: We recommend at least rpm as a minimum for nitrous system activation. This ensures that you will not have excessive cylinder pressures that could cause engine damage. The use of an RPM window switch ensures no premature activation.
Nobody likes premature activation especially engines. A: A nitrous purge kit clears the delivery lines of unwanted air and vapor and guarantees immediate power from your nitrous system. Q: Is there a way to turn my nitrous bottle on and off without having to open the boot?
A: Yes, most companies offers a Remote Bottle Valve Opener that allows you to open and close your nitrous bottle from the convenience of your drivers seat. Q: How do I know how full my bottle is? A: The only accurate way to measure how full a nitrous bottle is, is to weigh the bottle.
