nice you should be more than fine with that, i know a few people around here that are running 100 shots on their stock motor. They've done it for months and their cars are running fine (and no its not anyone on here)

wouldnt running a 100 shot mess with your timing. I was told that anything higher then a 75 need timing and fuel system mods???? thats what my shop and zex said anyways

Ok so i dont have nitrous, I was thinking about getting sprayed. Are you guys having any problems? Would go back and do it again?

Not really, Small stuff that if overlooked can be fatal to your engine. Most problems have been resolved as a group here which is great, We are one day going to be called the pioneers of Nitrous in the FG/FA World!!

honestly i have no idea, i dont have nitrous on my car yet, but like i said i know of a few 8th gen drivers that have 100 shots on their car, have had them for months and have no problems as far as i know besides clutches giving out.

It can handle it if you take proper precautions. I know people that have used 150 shots w/ the B series motors on a daily driver and not blow their motors (note that they were spraying EVERY DAY... it's just that they are spraying their daily driver cars as am I). No tune since they're lazy but in no way should you think that you don't need it... you NEED it. And remember our internals are forged inside (no not forged to match up with an aftermarket forged piston... but they are forged) and the B series motors weren't as built as strong as our K20's. With 100 shot, using all precautions possible to not spray in neutral(if you mis-shift sorry), too low of an rpm, too high of an rpm, only spraying at WOT, maintaining proper bottle pressure, upping your spark plugs to 2 steps higher, etc. You'll be fine. I don't regret using the 75 shot. Only things I regret is my own fault with shifting.

yea im all honesty, with a WOT switch, paried with a window switch, bottle heater, blow down tube etc etc....you could go over a 100 shot, and if it makes you feel safer you could also you a progressive controller so it doesnt hit all at once but more like a turbo's powerband.

your shop doesnt know anything bout k series then. the k series has a knock sensor and any time it reads knock it will change timing on its own to basically you can throw any shot you want on it but after going so big you just have to worry bout longivity of the engine. your fine with a 50-100 shot though as long as you change you plugs. after i get a new clutch ill be finding out how good a 150 shot on a fjo mini controller works out.

It's good. It's saved me a few minor times but there was one time where CHP went after my buddy after racing since I closed my exhaust =(. I felt pretty bad. Funny thing is that he has a cut out also but he sent it back to the manufacturer to get rebuilt and he just decided to run open downpipe instead of putting the block-off plate back on lol. I still felt bad though.

QTP Website is where I got my cucout. There's a cheaper version at McCord Power Plate. It's about a 50 dollar difference. I simply went with QTP because a few of my friends have had if before me and they've never messed up. Only times is when you're too low and you hit the motor on a speed bump or something but that's driver error lol.

yea...you should be very worried. a dry kit doesnt mix well with our car...especially when there is no tuning.

id recommend removing it.

[jameslewis178]

oh shit a dry kit. get the wet add on for it.

[SPOOLIN K20]

ive only hit it twice and the car kinda jumps then takes off

[jameslewis178]

yea well with out adding extra fuel your running super lean.

[SPOOLIN K20]

enough said . . .im taking it out asap

[NIGHTHAWKSI]
