Question ?? on NOS, NX, Venom, ZEX all NO2

Just wanna know whats the easiest(and safest for engine) install for nitrous. I dont know jack about no2 so anything will help me. Difference between fogger and direct no2, surges in pressure, purge kits, any general info would be off great help. Has anyone here installed no2 on a 2002 OZ cause thats what i have. Oh , and if anyone wants to see a cool burnout email me and i will send you a couple of video files of me tearing apart 13$ tires.

wet goes to the combustion chamber (or something like that) (harder to install)
dry is injected through the intake (not safe)

NOS + Lancer = Not good (at least that's what they say)

dont get nitrous. its nothing but troubles for a lancer, so many lancers have blown their motors running nitrous. its not a good idea, jsut save a little more for a turbo.

Wait, i thought wet meant the nitrous is injected with a proportionate amount of fuel already mixed and a dry was just a direct shot of pure nitrous.

thats what i thought wet meant too. so does anyone actually know? and, pgmike, why do you say that its just trouble for a lancer engine. whats the diff. between my engine a a four cylinder Civic, or any other for cylinder for that matter. i heard that Zex makes a fogger that sticks into the top of the intake cone and when you spray it it freezes the cone, which gives colder cold air and thats while you have activated the NO2. Is that for real or what.
What would need to be done to my engine if i just had a 35-50 shot of no2. what would i have to replace or make stronger.

and pgmike.... wouldnt way more have to be done to my engine to withstand the constant pressure from the turbo? and saving a "little bit" more. turbos are way more expensive than a 400 dollar nos kit. if you know of a 400 turbo kit Please tell me.

pretty much every single story i've heard about n20 in our lancers has ended up frying the engine. If it doesn't happen now it will eventually. our thin walls of our bored out 1.8 liter mirage heads just cant keep up for that long. thats why turbo boost is minimal as well.

dry = no2 vaporized into intake charge
wet = no2 mixed with fuel (not sure where its injected)

You would probably have more success with NO2 if you took a 1.8L short block out of a 4G93 (or was it 4G91?). Probably have to do some crazy ECU/AFC stuff too, but it would take more boost/NO2.

what are you talking about 1.8L Mirage heads? thats not what in our cars is it. 02 0z lancer. mine says its a 2.0 SOHC but i dont know if they made different types or what.
so, what about mirage heads?

Let me be more scientific for the benefit of Trailmaker02.

When you hit the NOS button, it will go from a normal engine to a completely different scenario. This is pretty much when the piston in cylinder #1 will become destroyed and you will hear parts of it rattling around in the engine.

A turbo is a more gradual upgrade in that it's always there. Therefore, there's no sudden "boom" moment for the engine to suffer through.

If you really want to get NOS, I suggest two things.

1) Get the upgraded JE pistons from RRM
2) Do some research so you can decide what application is best for our engine and best suits your individual needs rather than ask on a message board. I would probably assume a wet kit, where you can just run the nitrous into the fuel rail, but I'm just guessing.

Blacksheepdj is right, you would also need forged pistons.

I never said anything about 1.8L heads. I said short block, aka block/pistons

CO2 is safest on the Lancer.
Problaby safe on stock internals.

u said it. i took that to mean we have 1.8L bored out to 2.0L engine. the 1.8L being from the Mirage. so if thats what you meant then i guess you did say something about the mirage, oh nevermind
