rev210 Posted May 27, 2003 Author Share Posted May 27, 2003 mine cost me $400 plus the $300 worth of 600HP fuel pump (cost me $200 actually). NOS and others do kits for around $1500 for a (wet). Leave the dry kits well alone. 100HP shot on top of a stock turbo R33. The install is easy the only special tool you will need is a tap and die kit ($20 from hardware store) but, often the kit comes with the suitable tap anyway. Nitrous is the best value mod bar none. You only need a fuel pump change. No ecu, intercooler blah blah blah...

Im pretty sure Dry is better than Wet (or maybe its the other way around) for $1500 u can get a Pro Fogger NOS System 500hp+ why just go 4 100 when u can go 4 500 (bigger is always better) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/16695-nitrous-going-on/page/2/#findComment-348467 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold Rays Posted May 28, 2003 Share Posted May 28, 2003 Wet is better than Dry.... Just my 2 cents from what I've heard. The wet system is supposed to be not as hard on the engine.

rev210 Posted May 28, 2003 Author Share Posted May 28, 2003 bigger isn't better unless not having a running engine is 'better'. The 'just a little bigger' thinking is why people damage things with nitrous. I'm not one of those people.

Cubes Posted May 28, 2003 Share Posted May 28, 2003 hrmm I wonder if you could hide a nos setup & bottle under the rear seat and have a dummy setup in the boot without the bottle Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/16695-nitrous-going-on/page/2/#findComment-350187 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rev210 Posted May 28, 2003 Author Share Posted May 28, 2003 So far my Nitrous install is pretty undetectable under bonnet. You can't see the solenoids and the braided lines are covered with good old pollution hose. As they say 'nothing to see here'. As for the bottle: 'that subwoofer box is rather interesting.....'

Cubes Posted May 28, 2003 Share Posted May 28, 2003 I think I would go for the dummy setup my self. I'd rather have a few bones laying around so if I were to get pulled over they would run off with the bones happily. Then you could make it look really nice under the bonnet and be confident that all is 'legal' Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/16695-nitrous-going-on/page/2/#findComment-350332 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rev210 Posted May 28, 2003 Author Share Posted May 28, 2003 the dummy setup will get you a 'sticker', they won't buy the 'it's just pretend' comment half the time.

Cubes Posted May 28, 2003 Share Posted May 28, 2003 Why wouldn't they? If you use it for the drags... Get a slip handy in the glovebox presto.. A lot riskier with it hidden. I havn't been pulled over for some time but when I do they know what they are looking for. There not that 'dumb' well the ones i've run in to arn't.

Sydneykid Posted May 28, 2003 Share Posted May 28, 2003 Well Rev, I have been trying to resist commenting, but I just can't. You sold out!!!! What happened to the standard turbo for 12's guy? I'm laughing and it's not from sniffing NOS. Your gunna add some nitrogen and oxygen from the dentist to make the car go faster for phissssst, that long. Do it three times and you can't do it anymore, 'till you go back to the dentist for a refill of the baby's bottle. Shoot why don't you just take the turbo off and the intercooler and just run some more NOS? Then you could claim 11's without any turbo at all, let alone a standard one. Crikey why not sell the RB25DET and buy a RB25DE? Just add some more giggle juice, it'll be faster. OHH! I've got a great idea, why don't you take the engine out completely and just squirt some laughing gas into the exhaust pipe and light it? Jet car man, did a 10 with no efn engine at all. Sorry, I can hardly control myself with the laughing, I'm either gunna break a rib or pee myself. Gotta stop now.............

rev210 Posted May 28, 2003 Author Share Posted May 28, 2003 I don't count on dumb cops. Thats why my setup is so well hidden. Been around cars with hidden nitrous for some time. The best strategy with a 'sleeper' is to not draw any attention to yourself in the first place (that suits the law fine because you are also unlikely to be doing illegal things on the public roads). Having a 'fake' nitrous kit is like a red flag to a bull. It may not actually work (the cops are unlikely to test this) but, you will cop a sticker for something else in the best case senario.

rev210 Posted May 28, 2003 Author Share Posted May 28, 2003 sydneykid, I'm still going to get the 12 without the nitrous. But it was just too cheap to pass up. And nitrous is alot of fun. Nothing like the torque it brings instantly.C'mon for $400 would you say no? BTW, did you know I've got a worked V8 powered volvo wagon as a family car? Complete with two baby seats and a pram.
