Nitrous Oxide injection
 
*puts on flame suit*
Just wondering what makes up a nitrous kit (nitrous injecting is forced induction isnt it? :D) I've got the basics down cept i dont know where you whould tap for fuel and about solenoid shizzle a lil help plz? Nitrous seems like a good start in forced induction cosidering how much it would cost to make a homemade version of these NAAAAwz kits.:D Maybe someone could point me to a diy page or something.
*Runs to trogdor so he wont be burninated*

actually if you really tried, you could put togeather a HMT kit for about the same price as those expensive NOS kits. They are over rated unless you are using it as a NX intercooler shot :)

Re:Nitrous Oxide injection
 
but what are the parts involved in making one? :D

Re:Nitrous Oxide injection
 
there is so much information on this forum about what is in a turbo kit that I am not going to comment on that. Do research like averyone else here. Try the project section and just read around.

gah i think you misunderstand what im asking for im not asking the parts in making a homemade turbo kit but a homemade dry nitrous injection kit :D *runs with trogdor once again*

Re:Nitrous Oxide injection
 
buy a used nos kit that would be your best way to go, making a kit would be hard, the jetting would be hard to get right. then you would have to trick the engine into running richer by upping fuel pressure or using an afc or something.

the most ghetto way to do it would be plumb the nitrous line into your intake put some sort of jet in there, then run the car rich with a afc. no matter what it will cost about as much as a used already made kit and not work as well.

Re:Nitrous Oxide injection
 
gah my bad i mean wet homemade nitrous kit:\. I doubt its still hard considering there are already premade jets that mixes fuel and the nitrous together (nitrous express shark nozzle)

Re:Nitrous Oxide injection
 
Im sure it wouldnt be that hard. I dont know that much about nitrous kits but hope everything goes well. Post pics if you go through with it

im not attempting this considering i gots no money but my cousin who is gonna get some amount of cash is thinking boost but i think i can steer him to something a bit more simpler like nitrous cuz it looks simple enuff and can be had for maybe less than 300 homemade style? oh well i'll see what happens after i collect some more info

Dr.Boost 06-24-2003 04:35 PM

Re:Nitrous Oxide injection
 
"300 homemade style"? You can buy a used REAL kit for that and not have to worry about jetting and reliability.

Re:Nitrous Oxide injection
 
you can make your own. it'd be ghetto but probably would work.

you need one jet for nitrious, and one jet for gas.

you plumb the extra gas and nitirous into the intake somehow. you can buy holly nitrious jets from a car parts store... when you trip the solinoid or whatever the extra gas and nitrious would go into the intake... it wouldn't be hard to tune because you could just buy a 50 shot nitrious jet and it would come with a jet for the correct amount of extra gas.

nitrious is not forced induction really. but with the nitrious in there you can cram extra gas into each cyclinder making the engine think its bigger than it really easy... just like turbo/superchargers.

Re:Nitrous Oxide injection
 
mine is ghetto rigged. got it dirt cheap... its very basic.. if you get the bottle somewhere you can buy the rest of the crap on ebay, build it yourself for under 200$

*Bottle
*Bottle to 4AN adapter
*Bottle Gauge
*10-15ft of 4AN Hose (nylon)
*2-4ft 4AN hose
*Solenoid
*Fan Spray Nozzle (60-75 shot)

pretty muched did this on my 94 civic ex.. put the bottle in the trunk. ran the line next to my Amp cables on the passenger side. Ran it through the firewall under the battery, hooked up the 15 ft hose to the Solenoid, then hooked up a 2 foot line to the solenoid and at the end of it put in the fan spray nozzle with a 65 shot jet.
drilled a hole to my intake pipe and put some JB weld to hold the nozzle in place. primmed the intake pipe and all the hoses lines and solenoids flat black and then wrapped black wire loom on all the NOS lines. Made it a sleeper kit and to top that ---- off the switch is the horn buttons on the steering wheel. Cut the horn cables and plugged them into the solenoid wires. everytime you honk your ass is off...

using an SAFC and AEM Adjustable FPR to give it a little more juice so the engine dont blow.

Re:Nitrous Oxide injection
 
yes i know 300 is a overestimate but thats a guess how much it would cost thru jet tunning and ---- one thing tho i was wondering where you would tap your fuel for a wet kit.. wet nitrous sounds a little more easier/cheaper than a dry nitrous setup :)

Re:Nitrous Oxide injection
 
Tell your cousing to stay on the turbo path...in the long run NOS will be more expensive...if you drive like me.
If I had NOS I would have to fill up the bottle every 2 to 3 days. and that would be a lot of money.
Turbo on the other hand is free power and you always have it..don't need to push a button and don't need to fill up anything. NOS ain't forced induction buddy, but they come down to the same thing...cram more oxygen into the engine and add more fuel...bigger explosion..more power....HomemadeNOS seems interesting and fun..I might try that on a friends car...hahahahahaha.

Re:Nitrous Oxide injection
 
yes i know nitrous gets expesive on filling it but he has a budget of 1000 +/- 500. Nitrous seems a bit more safer and easier to tune. Besides he needs to get his mini me running which brings me to the next question can a car without a vtec comp or rpm activated switch run vtec with a vafc?

Semnos 06-24-2003 09:13 PM

Re:Nitrous Oxide injection
 
Yes....the VAFC activates V-tec

NOS is like one time use power. need power press the button. Turbo would work better for overall power. u can go turbo for 1g. Take a look at the classifides section.

if he has only 1000 +/- 500 he gunna go through that quick for a bottle refill.

NOS is just as, if not maybe more dangerous then turbo. First, if u get in an accident and the bottle gets punctured then BOOM. Second. You won't be doing a direct port kit so you run the change of going lean in one or more cylinders. The honda intake manifold was designed to distribute air. Not air w/ liquid in it. Sport compact car did a wet fogger kit and blew up their CRX engine. had to rebuild the valves and 1 piston, on there FIRST dyno run.

Re:Nitrous Oxide injection
 
If you want to build a homemade nitrous kit then bust out some cash. First thing you need is a bottle. $200.00 new so looked for a used one and make sure all the stickers are still on it. (Most places won't fill a nitrous bottle without the factory stickers) Second you need a nozzle. $50.00 min. Third you need a solenoid (2 for wet system) $50.00-$100.00 ea. My thought is to buy a used kit or save up $400.00-$500.00 and buy a new one that you know everything works. And to add if you puncture a nitrous bottle it will fly around (if not bolted down) but it will not go BOOM. NO2 is not flamable! O2 is. NO2 is a nonflamable compressed gas. THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS WAS WRONG AGAIN!!

Re:Nitrous Oxide injection
 
ghahhaha where the hell you pulling theses prices from? :D unless you want one of those gay bottles polished with NAWWWWZ its not gonna cost that much in fact i just saw some old people oxygen tank next to dumbster which i might go yoink in a second :D

Re:Nitrous Oxide injection
 
Good luck getting someone to fill that bottle.
