Nitrous

ok in about two or three weeks im going to order a nitrous kit. i just wanted to know whats a good safe kit to get im going to run a 50 shot wet kit. i know the 2008 lancer never had nitrous on it yet well not that i seen. but im going to run it with a WOT switch. is this the best way to run it or should i get a window switch for it. i was looking at the nos sniper wet kit but idk it seems cheap. plz let me know what u think. o and im not going turbo its two much right now.

Lol well a wet kit is a must. If u r planning on doing it, make sure u take the 100% safe route. I recommend Wizards of Nos, they are quite good besides NOS themselves.

NOS is just one brand, you have several options really. Nitrous injection by itself isn't very safe in the strictest sense or at least not for cheap. A dry kit is nuts and could easily blow your motor. A wet kit is better but IMO is still asking for trouble. Nitrous works on the same principle as a turbo system (ie. forcing more air into the engine than is possible under vacuum) and as such comes with all the risks and requires all the precautions. This means upgrading the pistons and the rods.

Cool man. Let us know how it goes, how high of a horsepower shot are you getting. Just a warning though - if you don't want endlessly flamed, take pictures and maybe a video .

As for the plugs, I know the stock plugs are actually pretty good NGK Iridium's but you might have to do some research as to how high of a temp they can handle. Evo_soul should know as hes done a good amount of spark plug research.

^^^what??


nitrous does not force air into the combustion chamber...when you heat nitrous to about 570 degrees F it splits into oxygen and nitrogen so the injection of nitrous into an engine means that more oxygen is available during combustion, because you have more oxygen, you can also inject more fuel, allowing the same engine to produce more power. Nitrous is one of the simplest ways to provide a significant horsepower boost to any gasoline engine.
Nitrous has another effect that improves performance. When it vaporizes, nitrous provides a significant cooling effect on the intake air. when you reduce the intake air temperature, you increase the air's density, and this provides even more oxygen inside the cylinder.

look into the dynotune window controller, its about 125 bucks and has a ton of great options to controll your nitrous properly...also definitely definitely get a bottle warmer...

start with a 50 shot first see how it goes then move up to the 75 if 50 isnt enough. i had a 125 shot on my civic, it had the k20a3 motor witch wasnt the strongest and it held up just fine. and +1 on the bottle warmer, your no2 pressure needs to be almost the same everytime you spray or it will mess up your no2 to fuel ratio. but make sure you have a way to log and monitor you afrs and adjust the fuel pills till you get the desired afr...

Never run iridium plugs with nitrous, never. Also if you are running 50hp shot you want 1 step colder plugs, If you go 100hp you want 1-2 step colder plugs and you want to retard your timing 2 degrees. Run a progressive controller if you go 100hp or more, another trick is to cut your spark plug and re-gap it so it doesn't turn into a glow plug. Now go **** off some Evo's.

Nitrous does force air into the cylinders, that's why it's considered a form of forced induction. Nitrous oxide cools the mixture (thus condensing it) and it contains additional oxygen molecules, therefore, it increases the oxygen content of the cylinder above that which could be obtained normally thus making it forced induction.
