how much can my car take?
this might make for a good sticky. i have a 95 maxima 5 speed and im wondering how much nitrous i can run before i start to hurt anything? yes i know their is not a absolute set limit but what is a safe point? i know some cars will take more then other biased on factory compression ratio or what not.
so on a 4th gen VQ30DE how much spray can i run with a dry set up and how much for a wet set up and still be safe? (well at least as safe is nitrous can be.)

ya i know nitrouscan be as safe as a turbo or blower set up as long as you have the fuel to go with it. i had a 100 shot on my lincoln all i had for fuel was a fuel pressure booster. so when i hit the go button it went from 40 psi to 80 psi but i also had a 255 LHP 110 PSI pump. i saw on here some one say they were running a 200 shot in their maxima but im sure he had motor work done?
so your saying that i can run a dry 75 shot and be fine right? (of corse not holding you responsible for anything)

oh ya i know that guy from the Mark VIII forums i think hes on either a 100 or a 125 shot wet. wet shot on those cars can be very bad becuase the intake is so big and so long. their have been a few guys that have gotten a freak back fire and have blown the intake manifold through the hood. thats why i had mine add fuel through the injecters by raising the fuel presure not by spratying the fuel through the intake.

75 dry on a 3.5, what about a 3.0?
I'd like to do a 50 dry shot, just a straight "nitrous in a bag" setup. No timing, no tuning, no fuel upgrades, nothing. Just running a dry shot before the MAF, assuming the MAF is like that of a GM MAF and will see the enriched oxygen and give more fuel.
Basically I need to know if the MAF is a hot wire or cold wire type setup.

So on the 5.5 gen, a 75 wet shot with no other motor work (besides I/H/E) is fine as long as you have colder plugs and I take my timing down from 17 degrees to like 15 degrees? Or should it be 14 degrees?

^ You can run a 75shot with stock timing.. Pulling timing is just a preventative thing ya know? I ran a 100shot with stock timing, one step colder plugs and a walbro fuel pump for two years just about.. If I could of pulled timing I would have but I didn't, I just made sure I had enough fuel and my afr's were good.

i have a similar question, not to jack a thread but it would be repetitive to start a new one.
a vq35 with vq30 timing in a 4th gen, what timing will the car like with n20, what the afr usually like without any adjustment???
was thinking about a 100 shot (real whp like NX kits) wet, will i have to mess with the timing or should it be good?
as far as the VQ30, i know a guy in miam that sprayed a 100shot wet forever

stock ecu timing is fine

Exactly my plan once I learn more, already have the kit. Spray should cool boost like meth I think wonder if you can run both, gotta learn and read a bunch.

So 75dry and 200wet? is that with stock fuel pump?
I been sprayin 75 NX Wet shot past 2 weeks no problems with 17degree timing advance and 1 step colder NGK v powers.
i understand a dry system maxis out the injectors and stuff but a wet shot really dont if i retard my timing down to 13 or bac 15 stock could i safely spray a 100 shot wet with stock pump?

Just read this thread man.
The answer I am giving you is from above:
With a 100 wet shot, you should upgrade your fuel pump.
You can run it on stock timing.
What are you using to tune?
Do you have a wideband?
