yeah boost is on all the time and at the push of the pedal... but think bout how much more you have to invest in a sc/turbo kit...

I am definitely moving on. I love nitrous becaue it is only power when you want it, but it gets old having to worry about filling the bottles, not having enough pressure, constantly worrying I may get pulled over with the bottle in the car, it being illegal in GA, etc.
I am moving on to true boost, but that is EXPENSIVE. If you are looking for GREAT, CHEAP, and COOL boost, then go with nitrous. But, after having familiarized myself with nitrous over the past two years now, I am moving on. I have already proven that my car is fast with it, and without it, so I have nothing else to do with it. Although, I may be keeping it to spool up the "exhaust cricket"......

Not a whole lot of people have gotten NX stuff. A ton of people got NOS kits, especially when there was a huge sale on them. So there are a lot floating around, some of those kits being sold are on their 3rd owner now.
On other forums, I see an equal number of NX kits being sold used as NOS kits. On some forums, there are more NX kits being resold than NOS since NX is more popular with those particular people.

Nitrous is the only way to have a 12-13 Sec car at the track and a 15 sec car for the wife on Monday to go shopping.

I see a lot of it on the RSX forums because all those guys run NX for the usual reasons. And on a couple of the Hyundai forums. It seems that NX is the hot ticket now.
I think that NOS enjoyed a boost in popularity due to the F&F movie, but now that has waned, and NX is supplying all the nitrous for the sequel, so I now they will be the one everyone goes with.
Personally, I think NX is better. Because they are more innovative and their stuff just plain works better.

My NOS kit was awesome. Absolutley AWESOME. Ironically, the only piece of NX equipment that I owned, I had trouble with. It was my NX remote bottle opener because the motor on it was so weak.
As far as why I sold it.... $40/fillup gives you little incentive to use it.

i hate this talk about NOS, NX, their all the f*cking same...
anyways...it does get a bit old, after juicing my former car, i wanted more juice and more.
Right now, i have it sitting in my garage (a 50shot Top Gun wet kit, which is a very expensive 600+ kit) debating what to do with it. The only reason its sitting there is because i totalled my last car in a ditch and the bottle completely smashed the braces that was holding it up. When my mom found out, she was terrified and was asking all these questions about the posibility of it blowing up (my sub box also ripped off its hinges and moved around). It was a 25FT drop so anything coulda happened. I kinda got scared as well, so I highly doubt its going in the max. All motor for me...

Take it easy on that clutch too.

It had nothing to do with me not knowing how to drive. It was a dark windy road (no street lamps or reflectors) that i hadnt been on at night and i misjudged a turn, it just so happens like 2 days AFTER my crash, they put up reflector bars on that blind turn
check it out
It doesnt look like a 25FT drop from this picture, but i came in from the right side and its higher on that side, much higher, plus the police report estimated the drop as 36ft

retire nos
I would guess the reason most people get rid of their nos kits after a short time would be because it's use is illegal on the street, and thats where most people use it, when they first get it, and they decide not to use it anymore.
Price of refills may play a part. And finally they may not want to chance the possibility of engine damage.
It may well be that after watching movies with cars using nos, people go out right away and buy a kit, to try it out.
If you are NA, to begin with a 75 shot will be just a tease, i would want at least a 200 shot, to compete. lol

People are so misinformed.....
All nitrous bottles are DOT approved. The design of the bottle have been tested and it's absolutely safe. You should be more scare of your gas tank blowing up than nitrous bottle blowing up. Nitrous is NOT flammable. Gasoline is. You can put a match up to nitrous and nothing will happen. Try that with gasoline.

It will cause an existing fire to burn quicker but it is not a fuel and is not flammable.

yeah Jime is right... oxygen is not flammable, neither is Nos. All that happens is when it gets to a certain temp... the N2o molecule breakes down, releases oxygen used for combustion. If you add nos to an existing fire, it'll burn hotter and brighter, but by itself, it won't burn.

That is no where near a 25 foot drop. You can tell simply by looking at the size of the cars. Perhaps you ended up 25-36 feet off the road??
As far as your near death nitrous experience goes...I'm calling

Also, i never said i had a "near death nitrous experience" wise guy, i said simply that it coulda got ugly is all. Learn to read properly..
Also, yes...i guess i came off as saying osygen was flammable, obviously no, i meant it fuels a fire. Stupid me!

Actually, you said that oxygen and nitrous "blow up". I think if any "reading" needs to be done here, it would involve you and a middle school chemistry book.

And for 4 grand, i barely got my used sc done when it was all done and over with. A good turbo setup will probably cost you more than 4 grand with all the goodies.
