Ordered My Nos System Today
#21
I dont know, it would have to be one hell of a box for bottle and 2 12" subs to fit in. I dont think it would fit under the cargo bin and be at the right angle. I will have to do some thinking on that. But I will definitly find out from the TPD.

It will cost about 30 bucks to fill the bottle, 10lb., and that will last for 10-15 minutes of boost. I havent done the math, but an average shot will last for a few seconds. But I dont know for sure, but I plan to find out. But I will use it wisely, the last thing I need is to go to jail and have my CDL suspended.

yeah. My brother in law has a 77 chevy malibu with two bottle of Nitrous one behind the back seat and one in the trunk. HE had slicks and would do ******* down the strip in the bronx. The shot of nitrous lasted about 3-6 seconds. estimating since i was in the back seat holding the bottle cause it was messed up. It was wrappped in a jacket and i was holding hoping it wouldnt blow up lol. This was like 5 yrs ago lol. :bigok:

Damn, you are brave, I dont plan to hold mine! And I did call the Oklahoma Highway patrol and TPD, they both said that there were no laws regarding NOS or having them in your car. He just told me not blow myself up. Wasnt that nice? So, I wont be cited for having the bottle in the car or having hooked up. :twisted:

The RX-7 and nitrous:
Wet Vs. Dry:
Which is better on an RX-7? The stock fuel injection system on RX-7's is being pushed pretty hard even at the stock ECU usage. Attempting to push more fuel through the stock injectors can prove fatal when the injectors simply cannot provide enough fuel for the engine. On the other hand, dry nitrous kits are much less likely to nitrous backfire.
So, in this case, the answer is dependant on user needs and existing modifications. For situations where 50 hp and lower tuning is being used, the stock injectors should provide adequate fuel for nitrous use. However, if your motor is severely ported, and extremely modified, you already may be approaching your injector delivery capacity. As well, a clogged fuel injector may just slightly lean out stock performance, but could absolutely destroy a motor running on nitrous.
Overall, I completely recommend wet kits. It offers easier tuning, does not rely on the already sketchy stock fuel injectors, and offers a wider amount of power. A dry system should really only be used on a minimally modified N/A RX-7 looking for no more than a 50 hp increase, and have verified a perfectly working fuel injection system, complete with recently professionally cleaned injectors. Turbocharged vehicles should never run a dry system.
Seeing as how most users have already modded their cars and are looking for 60-75 hp shot, it seems to make the most sense to concentrate on wet kits from this point on.
It's always wet for me. :\ Especially if you're spraying a 75 shot.

I will be using a 50 hp shot. I will replace the fuel pump just to make sure it is fresh, but my car is not turbo. I aplogize for the name, I had this setup and was doing research before I got the got car.

Well, my system is in, and I must say the installation was a pain in the ***. Turns out they sent me a wet kit. I didnt use the microswitch that came with the kit, I dont think I will ever figure out how to mount that cheesy bracket and make it stay. If anyone has a pic of this installed, I would like to see it. Here is a pic of where I put my arming switch and the push button switch.
