40726, How much nitrous will my engine take? Posted by AaronD95GS, Nov-30-02 01:52 PM
I am having my engine fully rebuilt with the howell 10.5 kit w/ total seal top ring gapless piston rings, along with the howell top end kit with nitrous grind cams, 2mm oversized ferrera stainless steel valve, venom fuel rail and aem adjustable fuel pressure regulator, along with a SAFC and some other little things. how much could i safe use a wet shot on it. I just want to be safe on this, i have a lot of money tied up into this.

You can run 150 to 200 shot with a direct port kit. With the 10.5 compression I would keep it around 150. NOS makes some nice direct port kits. Jesse

Off subject. Yellow RS, your ride looks sooooo much better with the CF and lack of graphics. Definately clean!! What brand hood is that? How was fitment? Also on your skirts, fitment and brand? I heard those skirts are a tough fit? Thanks..jd

Thanks, the hood is VIS, it fits pretty good the gaps on the sides aren't the same i need to dremel out the holes a little to make it fit better, other than that it's prolly the best fitting one I've seen on an eclipse, and I'm really happy with it. The side skirts are ok one side fits really good and the other side fits like shit. I don't think there worth $400. Jesse Edit: I don't know what brand the sides are, but i think they came from Andys Auto Sports, and they are the Combat sides.

might be off topic here, but Ive heard that the vnom fuel rail doesnt exactly fit w/o a pain to get it in there. I also heard that the stock fuel rail flows more then enough for us turbo guys so why not enough for the nitrous guys?

Yeah when i got it I didnt really know that. I have it modified though so it will fit so i am not to worried about that. When I was ordering stuff for my engine i just decided to go all out. and i didnt want to chance to have to rip it apart to put a higher flow one in just in case.

A stock car will safely support 20 hp per cyl.
