44223, Nitrous bad for our engines?
Posted by EclipseGS1997, Mar-08-01 03:56 PM
I heard on another site that NO2 is real bad on our engines cause our valves are really weak..is this true? would a 50 shot wet hurt them? thanks.

We have ran a 60 shot for more than a year (used often) and have not had any problems on stock internals. There are other people here that have run it much longer and I still have yet to hear of problems from them.
As long as it is used properly and in moderation you should be fine, a 50 shot is pretty mild.

Peer nonsense. I've heard this before that our valves aren't good. Bullsh*t. They've stood up to anything anyone has thrown at them so far (when have you ever heard of anyone burning a valve. if they bent one they hit something they shouldn't have). The guy who built my engine was quite impressed with the quality of the valves compared to some other engines. You all have been around this board long enough to know that almost non of us have upgraded valves and many are turbo'd and nitrous'd. That pretty much answers the question without having to say anything.
