Nitrous Need Help

I want to know a little more about nitruos. I want to buy the compucar nitrous in a bag kit. It's a plain jane dry kit. Cheap and effective with up to a 100HP jet. Would I need to run it before the air sensor in the intake just like on a gasser or does it not matter? Thanks.

I was always told the best place for the nozzle is the hot side of the intercooler in the metal pipe from turbo to intercooler

Thanks fella's. I was reading where some 2nd gen guy's said the intake manifold will actually cool then intake charge too much. Any truth in that?

X2...proven on the dyno to make more power when installed here.

Yes.

Pre-CAC is best.

No. I meant who is he... the Company. He's an advertiser so I figure it's ok to ask.

Back to the thread though... Anyone running a wet kit? Can you do that with diesel?

Most people on here say that pre intercooler is better (proven on the dyno in some cases) but how come the guys that make huge hp have it in the intake manifold?

If you are having only one small nozzle ....allowing you to burn 100hp more fuel than pre intercooler is definitely the best....(a nozzle to allow 50 to 70 more hp will actually work great and save you some nitrous)...you have to have the extra fuel to make the nitrous power....no big black smoke more nitrous won't get you anywhere.

The guys that make the big power are usually running 2 nozzles into the intake and a third before the intercooler....they are using a two stage system....stage one is a smaller nozzle on the intake for spool up and a big fogger nozzle on the intake to burn the extra fuel along with a nozzle on the hot CAC pipe to keep things cool for the post launch hook-up....

After this you are into a fogger bar in the intake which is a multi nozzled distribution rail to put the most amount of nitrous right into the waiting cylinders.

The difference is 5 or 6 runs on a tank, 2 runs on a tank, and 2 tanks on a run...$$$. ks

I represent LazarSmith - if you spend any quality time on the site, you'll see our banner ad... it's hard to miss.

If you click through to our website, http://lazarsmith.com please excuse its incompletion - we've been too busy making parts in the shop to finish it yet!

Back to the thread: you wouldn't want to run a wet kit, since it'd likely add too much timing and the main purpose of NO2 in the first place is too clean up the (already) excess fuel... no need to add more.
Remember, diesels run hot on fuel and gassers run hot when lean - so you don't have to worry much about injecting an overabundance of nitrous.

p.s. be careful over there! Lots of folks back home are rootin' for y'all...
