1. Its not called NOS. Its N20 or Nitrous...NOS is a brand name 2. Very little...and i mean little chance that it will blow if u get in a accident. Unlike in the first F&F where they shoot the car and it blows up....not going to happen. 3. Nitrous is safe if you know how to use it...like someone said before...its these retards with a honda civic that put a 150shot in a stock engine...its going to blow a piston or something. But you can safely put a 100-125shot in a 370z if you A. hook it up right. B. know when to spray it and for how long. |

Thanks for the info though. Like I said before I've never dealt with Nitrous at all I guess because it's not a big Euro thing. Have fun talking crap now though, just like all the other people on the benz forums when I first posted did. However, once I get this all down (which I will) I will be the one with the last laugh. Yeah that's what I figured, but like I said I have no clue. That's why I asked. Thanks for the reassurance though. Last edited by paypa; 09-13-2009 at 08:44 PM. |

Back in the day I ran a 75 dry shot ( which is the worst) on a 99 Civic SI for quite sometime.
I really knew how to control it ( only sprayed under 8 seconds) and checked my spark plugs regularly. Checking spark plugs and doing compression checks became part of my regular maintenance- kinda like checking your oil level. Nitrous is a very simple setup, that has 2 huge variables, which are what can become detrimental for your vehicle... Fuel and heat. Dry kits only spray N20, while wet kits spray N20 and fuel, but only through 1 nozzle, which distributes the nitrous unevenly through out the cylinders.... naturally, the cylinder closes to the throttle body ( where the N20 comes in to the motor) gets more n2o than the other cylinders, thus causing more heat and stress to the motor... so if anything, you want to follow up with that cylinder more than others... and then you have the direct ports which equally spray all cylinders... this one could be considered the safest, but also the most expensive and with more variables.... With nitrous, you depend on selenoids to feed the N20 and fuel, and unfortunantely these selenoids fail, and stick sometimes... so naturally, with more selenoids, more chances of a mechanical failure.... so for all safety, always monitor your engine and if possible get a wide band oxygen sensor which will let you know when you're leaning out... meaning too much air (n20 in this case) and not enough fuel. |

I would say the 370 could easily handle a 75-100 shot from the 2 throttle ports, and while direct port is the best the manifold on these cars is designed sooo equally that misdistribution is much less of a problem. Take the manifold off and look at how the runners are shaped and you'll see what i mean. As for safety your car won't explode if the bottle breaks open in FF that was actually because he was racing with a bar of Plastiq in the car. I've screwed around with N2O before (it's really fun) and all it does is make things burn faster and hotter. You can turn salami or a candle into an rocket with it but you can't make them explodeso in the event of an accident if you're N2O cylinder were to rupture you would only have a problem if you were trapped in the vehicle because there would be one nasty fire but no bang.
Also consider that you can buy a DOT approved gas cylinder to keep it in like all the the other MILLIONS of gas cylinders transported in the US daily. My grandpa had a cylinder of PURE O2 that was twice the size of most nitrous bottles and he got in three accidents (2 major) before we took his keys. |

THANKS FOR CLEARING THAT ALL UP THOUGH! How did you know that guy has a bar of plastique in the car in F&F though? Was there a scene that showed that, that I missed? |

i ran 1 step colder plugs in my cobalt when i had stage 2, then switched to 2 step colder plugs when i swaped the m62 supercharger for the harrop tvs. So i know about colder plugs but what type of colder plugs are for the 370z? Do you have a part number?
