Nitrous?

[Classy Pontiac]

Well I was talking to a friend that has a nitrous kit, Zex 82011, which is the dry nitrous kit, and he is wanting to sell it. It has a 75 shot. Could I just use this kit or should I go wet. Right now my car is completely stock, 06 l26. Help would be greatly appreciated, thx.

You can use it if you have a way to tune the car.

 

[Classy Pontiac]

would I need to tune the car with a wet?

 

[TheOtherNick]

yes

 

[boostedcompg]

Wet is by far the better way to go

 

[Explicit_Spade]

Wet is a much safer option.

I would personally suggest atleast headers and an open cone or cold air intake as basic supporting mods for nitrous.

I prefer wet kits and anything under a 100 shot doesn't need a "tune." The only "tune" you would need is to back your timing a degree or two. Yet you are on stock timing so you will be fine.

So if i went with a wet kit, 75 shot, and 1-2degree timing change, i would be good?

 

[boostedcompg]

Flow mods are gonna make your kit work toooonnnnsss better

No timing change and yes you will be fine.

Always wanted to try the bottle. But i'm too much of a scardy cat. Someday...Someday...

But x2 on using wet vs dry.

I'd at least get a cutout or something...like others have said, that thing will need to breathe better. Granted the '04+ cars didn't have a u-bend...but still...

 

[boostedcompg]

Your gonna need to change plugs as well. And a cutout is useless. Do some headers and a hai and have fun

Most people are but it's really not that bad, it takes one hit and your hooked.

You can make it work pretty easily... You can pull about 2-3 degrees of timing by installing a ~500-600ohm resistor in place of the air temp sensor... No tuning required (be sure to ask/check specifically if your file has that function... most all of the ones I have look at do... Will at overkill would probably be able to answer that as he has access to stock 06 information).

If you wanted to spray more than 100hp, you should probably put race gas in.. on e85/110 leaded fuel, headers, and possible an upgraded fuel pump, you could probably spray up to a 200 shot on that before you started asking a bit much of your connecting rods.

 

[txslow6]

WTF? Leaded race gas/E85 over a 100 shot? Why? He doesn't have a reason to. Pump gas works just fine.

Now if someone was looking to do an all out race setup then by all means 5 gallon fuel cell, race fuel, blah blah blah blah to squeeze every last drop of horsepower. By all means go for it.

However, your average joe who uses his/her Grand Prix for occasional drag racing then just a basic wet kit setup will do just fine. No need to get so extensive when spraying. Especially since it's more than likely a daily not a weekend, fully gutted, tire smoking drag car. I am willing to bet the op just wants a little bit more umph. And he knows nitrous is the quickest and cheapest way to do it.

Op you will be fine spraying a 75 shot with nothing else more than some colder plugs. You however will see the most gain by using it on top of other modifications.

wow guys you helped me alot. I really dont know how to thank you, but saying thank you. I really learned alot.

 

[blueguy]

Lets see.

Rental '10 Focus'...50, 75, and 100 shots...plastic IM's...plastic everything...lol...took it just fine. Not that its a Grand Prix, just saying...not everything needs special treatment.
