Has anyone hurd of this Nitrous brand?

I was surfing the internet and I found this brand of nitrous , the price is not bad, well I e-mailed the company becuase they siad the kit would work on any fule injected car, and i wanted to make sure it would work on a maxima 4th generation....he responded and said yes it would work there shouldent be any problems at all...well now thats why i come to you guys..... Can anyone E-mail me or respond if they know or have hurd anything of this brand....this is what it says on the Site


"COMPUCAR BRAND"

THEY HAVE BEEN IN BUISNESS FOR OVER 20 YEARS, ONE OF THE ORIGINAL MAKERS OF HIGH QUALITY NITROUS OXIDE SYSTEMS. THIS KIT IS CALLED THE STREET HEAT SYSTEM, ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR KITS AVAILABLE. COMES COMPLETE WITH ALL WIRING, SOLENOIDS, JETS (5), LINES AND 15 LB BOTTLE, 10LB NOS ALL PACKED IN A SECRET GYM BAG. THE BAG NOT ONLY LOOKS GOOD BUT IS EASY TO HIDE,IT MAKES THIS KIT EASY TO TRANSPORT OR CHANGE FROM CAR TO CAR. THIS KIT COMES COMPLETE WITH EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO INSTALL, INCLUDES INSTRUCTIONS SO PLEASE DONT ASK HOW TO INSTALL. INSTALATION IS EXTREMELY SIMPLY POWERED FROM A CIGARETTE PLUG IN AND ALREADY WIRED NOS SWITCH, MOST PEOPLE CAN INSTALL THEM IN UNDER 30 MINUTES WITH LITTLE DRILLING REQUIRED ( MAYBE 2 HOLES BUT MOST ARE ALREADY PRESENT). KIT WORKS ON ALL FUEL INJECTED CARS ADJUSTABLE HORSE POWER FROM 20-120 HP. CAN BE MADE INTO DIRECT PORT OR A WET SYSTEM. I USE THIS IN MY NISSAN 240 AND RUN 12.9'S THE BAG ALSO HELPS HIDE FROM POLICE AND IF YOU UNPLUG THE POWER SOURCE ITS NO LONGER ILLEGAL ( CHECK LOCAL LAWS FIRST) OTHER ACCESIORIES AVAILABLE LIKE BOTTLE WARMER, AUTO BOTTLE OPENER, EXTRA BOTTLE, JETS, LINES ECT."

If you are looking for Nitrous, don't use that kit, to weird lol. Just get what everyone else has, the Nitrous Oxide System or the ZEX. And you can also try Nitrous Express. Good luck.

There is a shop in NJ that sells this brand. They swear by it and if I remember correctly the bottle is grey/silver.

"COMPUCAR BRAND"

Compucar has been around for a very long time. They make a pretty good N2O system, and they were a popular and cost-effective alternative to NOS systems back when plate systems and carbs were the in the majority. I've used NOS systems with good success, but many friends used the Compucar system with equal success. It would probably come down to either personal preference or price, in most cases.

Aloha,

Its not just price...but if it works.. The price is great , it goes for like 320 shiped i belive... They have a shop here in FL selling it...well action I found them on the internet first and looked threw there home page, and found out there in FL not to far from were I love... For the person that posted above your right the BOTTLE is silver. ...thanks for everyone responding but I more question... you say your friends has had the same results from it, but is it safe? ZEX and othere companys have shut off systems if somthing is going wrong or the air mixture isent just right....do u know if This nitrous COMPUCAR has that too?

Every nitrous system should have some sort of shut off point. Basically I don't know anyone who has the system but like I said the place by my house has been putting them in for years and swears by them. I am glad I was correct about the silver bottle so atleast I know its the same company (funny how the name doesn't ring a bell but I remembered the color). Let us know if you put it in, I am sure many people would like to know.

Sorry I can't help you regarding the shut-off switch, but the web site should have specs on whether Compucar has such a system.

You can install a throttle switch so the system will only activate under WOT, which would help with part-throttle engagement and running lean.

And as far as the a/f mixture or running lean, you can either use an a/f ratio meter or check the plugs after each run. The last time I tuned a nitrous system was on a carb'd car by checking the plugs, so I am really not very familiar with fuel injection tuning... sorry!
