Nitrous

oreoleo · 07-12-2010, 07:11 PM

I've started looking into nitrous shots for the vq37 motor. there isn't much information out pertaining to nitrous on our motors. The highest shots I've seen were 100s. Can the motor handle it, when equipped with proper fail safes, lean out switches, 5k+ spray start, 100 shut off before redline. I know it's pretty much a wild guess.
thanks

I'd say it should hold a 100 shot pretty well.

Thing is, nitrous is a pain in the rear. Constantly monitoring bottle pressure, heating it, hooking it up, purging, fillig bottles ,etc.

Sure you can buy all the doodads that do most of that for you, but then you are getting into turbo/sc territory on cost.

I had nitrous on my mustang GT i had before the Z and although its fun, its mostly just a pain.

Im hoping my Z becomes my first S/C car.

Someone on the g37 forums said that the stock plenum is susceptible to puddling, not a safe platform for nitrous.

If you go the nitrous route, a window switch would be a great investment, what that does is you can set it to spray automatically at 3500 rpm to 7500 rpm at full throttle. I've heard of people putting 100 shot, but me personally, I would only go with a 50 to start due to our high comp engine.

Ive sprayed 100 dry on a high compression motor for about 60 bottles and I Havent noticed anything wrong with the car at all. it still runs and drives fine.

I also forgot to mention I had two friends spray a 250 on a stock block 350Z for about a year and a half

Nitrous loves high compression...
