I have to say the nitrous is nice but I dont like the fact of how quickly it runs out. I get maybe 10-12 runs on a 10 pound bottle and i have a bottle heater and no leaks either. Holds pressure in the lines with bottle closed for a full day. It cost 45 bucks to fill 10lbs and i run out of it the same day. I feel i should have bought a supercharger because the price of nitrous will add up to more than the s/c kit would in the long run and the s/c is always on. Just my thoughts anyone else feel that their nitrous runs out to quick?

 

I bet anyone who's spraying has thought about this prob. You are definitely not alone. hahaha

Just take solace in knowing there is less stress on your motor 99% of the time when you are not spraying compared to the SCed guys and that in general, a nitroused Max is quicker than a SCed Max - say an 80-shot compared to a stock pulley SC (which also supposedly adds 80 crank hp). =)

 

thats why mone is on sale

 

I think it people should really consider their long term goals before going with either SC or nitrous. I'm a college student who wanted more power with the least maintence and no decrease in reliability. I setup and tuned my 70 shot and I'm good to go

Nitrous was the perfect choice for me because I have the power when I want it, but can turn it off for the other 98% of my driving.

Wow! It only coast 25 bucks to fill up my bottle here in Jacksonville FL

With 20923 Kit 10LB bottle, remote opener, fully auto heater, purge valve, EGT, full sweep (electric) nitrous and fuel pressure guages. Custom made guage pod, shark nozzle tapped into frankencar midpipe, tapped into fuel line (150 dollar hose).

Add this all up, its well over 1800 new.

 

Your kit is mine , so shut it !

 

N20 vs. SC/TC is a BIG decision.

Personally, I feel the same as xHypex. I'll only "need" it once in awhile, so 7-10-shots will last and I don't have a second car to rely on when little problems rise up with the SC/TC. However, I hear N20 is addicting so that may change my intentions.

I hope to go turbo someday, but if I do, the NX kit will also work AWESOME for an exta kick when needed. 300whp daily driven turbo w/75-100 wet shot for special occasions and track days are my goal.

 

its up for sale

 

Yes...
Good point, i really want a s/c but its way to much money.
And having nitrous like you said you have power when you want it and turn it off
I can't wait till i have enough money for nitrous

 

Nitrous is cheap if you live in houston Hi/Lo O'reily is about 22.00 to fill a ten pound bottle. They use good nitrous and run two filters just a FYI for anyone in the houston area. Need more info PM me and I can give you the addy.

 

The autoparts chain store?

 

It cost 21.00 with the tax included here in Spring Hill FL.

 

Yes it is a franchise owned one here in houston.

 

There is an O'reily in my town also. I will have to check it out.

 

That's why I sold mine (to xHypex, actually). I got sick of $40 fillups.

 

nitrous is supposed to only be a performance booster on demand not to be used constantly. i suggest you look for another shop that fills the nitrous. nos and nx both have authorized fill stations posted on their websites so check it out. also you may want to consider getting a second bottle or even two larger bottles this way you will have the nitrous you need when the time comes. i had the same problem with my 91 mr2 turbo on nights of......shhhh... street racing. so i bought 2 15 lb bottles and found space for them in a mr2 so i know you can find space in your maxima. so i suggest you look for a new fill up site, pep boys now carrys and installs nitrous systems so there is a 90% chance that they also fill the bottles up. go check it out. it only costs me about $70 with tax here in dallas, but that is to fill up 2 15lb bottles. so its only costing me aobut $2.33 per pound of n2o while you are paying $4.50 a pound. time to shop around.
