Hey NOS Owners:

I am almost at the edge of purchasing the NOS kit and accessories. Here's what I am looking for spent all for about 50-60 more horses.
IS IT WORTH IT?!

ATM-20802 Gauge Pod $25
ATM-5728 NOS Pressure Gauge $70
ATM-5775 A/F Gauge $55
MSD-8956 MSD RPM Switch $77
Switch Mod $35
NOS-05124 NOS Import Kit #5124 $500
NOS-14164 NOS Bottle Heater $113
NOS-14165 NOS Bottle Blanket $30
NOS-16058 NOS Remote Bottle Openr $159
SUM-G3902 Toggle Switch (heater) $16
SUM-G3902 Toggle Switch (opener) $16
Installation for all: $350

TOTAL: $1446 + miscellaneous ==> $1500 = 50-60 ponies.

Is this worth it? Or should I spend the money more wisely on some other mods? maybe a Vacation? downpayment on 2002 SE?

 

YES it is worth it......you car will spank a 2002 SE with just a 50 shot. my car WILL run 13s this weekend with the 50 shot my best 1/4 now is in my sig.

I'm in Glen Ellyn, IL....and I know you're in naperville....if you want me to help you install it....I can save you mucho $$$...if you want to check out my NOS setup send me over an e-mail....My friend and I did mine...and after that....It's sinch to do another one...most of it is just wiring

 

remove $350 for install and add $7 for 100 hp

 

ya install the kit yourself and get a fuel pump and get 100 ponies.

 

Y E S

 

the feeling you get when you spank another car with your NOS kit? it's definitely worth it...

 

i been real interested in gettin nos lately. not a huge shot tho. i was thinkin maybe a 50 shot or maybe 75. what all would I need to get?

 

you would pretty much need the same equipment as dashingMax wrote at the beginning of the thread. Just shop around...Parts for Sale or Group Deals sometimes have NOS kits pop up...

 

I dont know if custom maxima can get a group deal on it, but if you can find a few other guys to go in on it with you, Canuck - another guy on here is about to get NOS too, maybe you can get a discoutn. Try www.eatricezone.com and see if Phuong can get it too.

Yes, it's worth it...

Got NOS?

 

i'm not sure if it's worth it.

 

ill save nos for later. need to max out my bolt on mods first. well everything except for an sc....

 

hmm

 

Hello,

I have a question for those with the NOS import kit. I was wondering what the kit comes with in terms of engine management. In other words, does the kit come w/ a piggyback or controller of some sort that will increase fuel and retard timing when you turn the NOS on. If not, what do you use to get extra fuel into the engine, and change the timing?

Thanks

 

none of those

 

I'm putting in a 50 shot of wet NOS kit into my 99 Altima SE. I started the install on Sunday for 2 hours, but it got dark so we stopped and will pick it up today. All I can tell you is that the install is going pretty easy and that only problem I faces was getting the extra fuel to the NOS nossle. My friend and I are going to invent something, probably a "T" to cut the fuel pipe and have the bottom of the "T" going to the NOS nossle. That is how the NX kit is. The directions are confusing when they describe a part that doesn't actually exist on my car. I'll let you know how it goes today after the install.

 

good luck!

 

Timing Retard: Nothing you can do if you own 97+ Maxima. The MSD does not even make any aftermarket controller for the Maxima and cannot modify the current controller to work on the Max. They said that the Maxima has some computerised, coil thingy which will fry with their controller.
Solution: Stay below 70 shot and stock timing should be okay.

Fuel Increase: NOS Import Kits use the stock fuel pump to give the extra fuel needed. It comes with a bypass jet in a pressure TEE (part#17538). One end attaches to stock fuel pressure regulator and other to Nitrous pressure regulator. Nitrous pressure which comes from the NOS bottle, increases the Fuel pressure through this "T" setting get more fuel into your system. NOS tech line said that the stock fuel pump should handle upto 70 shot. Anything more than that, one will need a fuel pump and a optional fuel pressure regulator.

I have not installed NOS myself but have read the instruction manual 50 times, so take it for what its worth.

 

Why do you need to stay below a 70 shot? Timing retard is recommended, not required. There are a lot of people running over a 70 shot without the JWT ECU with No problems. 80 shot, 100 shot, 125... As for raising the fuel pressure, it is done through the stock fuel pressure regulator, by adding pressure to it from the NOS. If you have any other mods to your car, like CAI, Y-pipe, I wouldn't run over a 60 shot without upgrading the fuel pump, it's just not worth the hassle or potential trouble...

 

ya you should stay at a 60 shot if you have ANY OTHER mods which i hope you do if you have NOS.

 

what is a reccomended shot for someone who doesnt really street race but wants a good 1/4 mile time and would want to surprise some high end cars. by the time i'll want it, id have a y pipe, exhaust, cai, and, udp?

 

50 shot.

 

beautiful. thanks!

 

you can push a 60 shot just check your plugs. what year is your car?? my 95 was lean at a 60 shot but the newer cars usually aren't.

 

I would run a 50 shot, not 60 shot. The 60 shto is useless. I tested this @ a Test & Tune night. I ran teh same times and same trap speed and with a 50 & 60 shot. Both times i a ran 14.3@97. IF you want anymore power, i would go at least 80 shot. a 10 shot incriment does nothing. You will find as the more NOS you go, the harder it is to get new times.

 

i have a 98...im not looking for a huge boost. just enough to surprise people

 

thas a fine looking automobile you have there sir...

 

why thank you

 

Okay...so what's the REAL story on plugs with a 50-60 shot Nitrous Kit...
1) Do I need special Zex Nitrous Plugs? or
2) Do I need NGK Platinum, 1 step colder plugs? or
3) Do I need NGK Iridium plugs?
4) Do I need $0.99 copper plugs which are 1 step colder?
5) Stock plugs with gap reduced by 0.004 should work?
or
6) None of the above!!

Thanks

 

Use NGK PFR6B-11 and run the gap at .0038 and you won't have any problems. You can also use copper plugs if you want, but the NGK's work just fine. Ok...

 

hey man, I hope you don't mind me stealing your signature for another forum, do you? hehe

 

have at it i used to do that myself back in the day
