That's the quote I got from a Nissan dealership ...

Tkx!

 

Nissan dealer will install that for you??
Since they will do the installation, does that mean they'll warranty it too??

 

Yup!

Do you know if that's a good price?

 

I have done two installs now and will give you a hand if you want to install yourself some weekend.

 

r u in Toronto? if so ... that's a very interesting option as I can see/learn for myself!

 

W-T-F?!?!? they will not only install a NOS setup for you but they will warranty it? riiiight

 

I am in Newmarket, not too far away. You will be a lot happier doing and seeing the install yourself. Its not a huge job and it can be done in steps, don't need to do it all in one day if time is an issue. Are you planning on installing anything else with it? ie Fuel Pump, Fuel Pressure Regulator etc.

 

I'm pretty much a NOS newbie which was why I was going to use the dealer.

I think with a 70+ shot I need to upgrade the fuel pump and regulator as you noted ... I may even be tempted in the future to upgrade to 100 shot

Can you tell me about your set up? Brand, cost, what add'l upgrades you performed .. etc!?

Tkx!

 

I am running a 5124 Nitrous Oxide Systems (NOS) setup. I have a Walbro fuel pump, and Sard Fuel pressure regulator. I wanted to be able to run a 100 shot so got the pump and regulator to handle it. I am currently running an 80 shot but plan on trying the 100 this weekend at St. Thomas. My kit was given to me by my Son who is now sponsored by NX and got a Direct Port kit for free. I also helped him somwhat on his kit as well but he still hasn't got it up and running because he was waiting on a FPR and line bender for some of the tighter bends he has to do. Hopefully we will both be at the first import race at St Thomas on the 26th May.

I also hope to upgrade to an NX wet or hopefully a Direct Port system as well later this year, but want to play with current setup to see what I can do. To date I have only run 14.5 but didn't have an intake until yesterday and I don't think that helped any. So with the intake and moving up to a 100 shot I hope to improve my times on Sat. When you hit that switch its an awsome feeling and best bang for the buck there is.

 

hmm ... why do people say Maxima & wet system = boom?

Do you still need a beefed up fuel pump with a wet system?

 

Know the legalities in Canada? I get pulled over & searched like once a month but I want that stuff

 

People say that because the heard that somebody's first cousin's brother had it happen. Also, NOS tells you in their install manual that puddling occurs on a wet system. They just forget to tell you its THEIR wet system.
NX only makes wet systems so what does that tell you? There are cars with longer runners than a Max that run wet and even ones with variable intakes as well. Also notice that all the people that say you can't run wet are using dry and have never tried wet. I have yet to hear of someone running wet and going back to dry. NOS is the Chevrolet of the nitrous systems not the Cadillac.
Most people change the fuel pump with wet but not for the pressure for the flow. A Direct Port system only requires 10 psi and requires a second FPR (non returnable) to handle it.

 

free sounds reasonable...

 

I've done two installs myself (me and for a fellow org member) and he is definetly correct. DIY is the best way to go. One of the "tricks" of N2O is knowing how it works and how it doesn't. By doing the install yourself, even if you're standing there, you will pick up on how the system works. You will also need to do extensive research (I did mine in here and the library) to know how and why N2O works. If you do that, you will greatly reduce the chances of your first system being your last. My .02.

 

Thanks Jaime, I really think that if you can't install yourself you really shouldn't have it, but that sounds kinda harsh for someone who hasn't seen one before.

 

umm... if they dealer wanted $800 and you even knew how to do it yourself then take it to the dealer anyway. this way they can't blame you if you mess something up because they did the install

 

If you install a wet system with a supplemental fuel injector in the intake manifold, you are relying on the manifold to mix the fuel (with air and nitrous oxide) and evenly distribute it to each cylinder. It would also have to go through the variable intake runner on the 5th gens.
There is the possibility of the manifold failing to consistently distribute an even mixture, creating a lean condition in one or more cylinders. That is why some people say "boom". At least that is my understanding.

 

So direct port is better fo the 4th gen? I guess a DPI would be more ideal for all generations ...

 

I agree....NX wet is safe.

Dry is better .. that and i can do a dry install in under 1 hour

 

in all seriousness, why is dry better? any benefits from either wet or dry?

 

The two basic reasons why a dry is better than wet is: 1. the wet system combines both N2O and fuel at the intake and thereby making the mixture flamable already and therefore more apt to go boom if you have something go wrong. (Eventhough both will cause engine damage if not used properly or other malfunction). 2. The wet system, due to the use of foggers and having two different systems (fuel and N2O) is more difficult to tune properly.

Before people start to flame here; I'm not saying one is better than the other just saying one is easier than the other and more user friendly.

 

their are advantages to doing both and disadvantages on both..

its up to you which one is more of an advantage to you or disadvantage to you..

I like dry because..

its easier to tune
easier to install
easier to pull out..
easier to tune with forced induction..

its really what works for you
