my 94 gxe has like 66k miles on it and the engine is in perfect condition. since the mileage is low i was thinking bout nos but realized my car is an automatic. can nos be used on automatics or only for manual cars???

 

Gee, I hope so cause I've had mine on my 92 SE (auto) for over a year now. Oh yeah, my car has over 130,000 miles on it.

 

Since forced induction not available without custom work I've been thinking about nitrous as a replacement. I have a auto like yourself, but with a VB upgrade and over 100K miles.

Did you do anything to prep your engine before the ZEX system. Colder plugs, retarded ignition, upgraded fuel pump, etc. Or did you just plug and play, how much increase are you running

 

This reminds me of a question I had concerning NOS. I read on their website that NOS should be used above 2500 RPM for best results. Assuming that I shift my automatic manually at around 5500-6000 RPM, and assuming that I use NOS from 3000-5000 RPM, wouldn't the only wear and tear my transmission would feel be on the torque converter? Since I wouldn't be making the transmission shift while I was on NOS, the transmission itself wouldn't feel too much wear and tear. Am I right in these observations or completely off track?

Actually no.. I did research a lot on getting a new fuel pump, ignition, plugs etc.. The only thing I did change was getting the Zex plugs which were specifically made for Nitrous use and getting the purge valve cuz they told me it would give you a clean shot and bleed out any moisture/stale NOS. I had planned on getting a new fuel pump but that was before I had to replace my exhaust stud bolts, heater hose, and get a new dash for my broken odometer. Ugghh.. Can I have some sympathy here..

P.S. I also plan on getting the VB upgrade when I finally save up some cash..

 

how many shot nos u running??

 

what is the cheapest kit that will work well with my 93 gxe?? anyone have a clue?? nitrous express or zex. NOS is to damn expensive. any other companies??? thanks

Patrick

PS can i just install nitrous on a stock maxima??

 

Zex seems to be the most inexpensive, but JCwhitney had NOS kits on sale for $375 just last month! check impactparts.com, I think they are having a sale on Zex kits. if you have an auto I would suggest you get you transmisison valvebody upgraded, it will help preserve your trans with all the extra power added by the nitrous.

 

Traaaaaannnnnyyyy cooooooooler........

 

Zex comes with 3 nozzles for 55, 65 or 75 shot respectively.. I usually stick with the 65..

 

On the flip side, the most expensive kit I have seen is the Venom kit which I originally had planned to get before I saw the price.. they wanted over 1 grand for that bad boy.. But from what I heard it's the best NOS kit you can get. Edlebrock also has some NOS kits for Maximas.

 

winner is jim wolf 1200.00 Ecu controlled nitrous upgraded ecu custom nitrous plugin module visit his website for info
my cost is 900.00 for the kit im definently lookin at it the turbo seems coo to but im not a high roller!,
take it easy

 

160,000 miles is really pushing it for 55 shot system huh? also if anybody has the little plastic insert for the automatic shifter (park, nuetral, reverse, drive,etc..) send em some mail if u got one!!!! thanx

 

Can anyone tell me how much more power nitrous gives a 3rd gen GXE.

 

25 shot= 25 hp........65 shot= 65hp and so on. since you're an auto a 50 shot "should" be safe and quite effective! should put you into the 14's(I think)

 

Thanx for the info
