    Little NOS kits....great way to explore the joy of driving your rear wheel over your crankshaft!

    Little NO2 kits...A good way to end up buying lots of replacement parts from chacal after you turn your wonderfully running engine into a pile on melted crap.

    Seriously though guys....Xj's tend to run lean in perfectly tuned stock form. Slapping on an oxidizer with no additional fuel is just asking for disaster. I dont care what you plan on putting it on, any way you look at it---its a bad idea.

    I can show you how to end up with the same result without spending the $39.99.

    All you gotta do is pull your oil plug and then go for a spirited drive. Bam. Same results.

    Oh yeah and BTW it is NO2. Nos stands for Nitrous Oxide Systems, a brand name of NO2 components. Whenever someone calls nitrous NOS I am reminded of the movie Fast and the Furious. The less I have to think about that abomination of ricer crap the better!

    Don't be ridiculous!
    If you introduce NO2 to your Intake Mixture ... you'll be sorry.

    You will be at risk for:
    Blowing the Head Gasket
    Cracking the Head around Valve Seats.
    Cracking the Head at thinly casted areas toward voids.

    You could write-off the engine ... the first time you introduce the Nitrous Gas.

    Every time you shoot NO2 into the Intake Stream will be like standing outside in a meadow, holding a tall aluminum pole skyward, during a lightning storm. You might NOT get struck and live.

    But, ... You're begging for it!

    Dude is right Nitrous is fun but can be seriously expensive. We ran it a while on our small block Chevelle. 150 off the line, 300 at about 300' then 500 to the lights. Fun but expensive, hard on parts. From there we went to twin 70mm turbos on the same small block. Now its twin 96mm turbos on a 500 ci. aluminum headed big block. 6 second 1000 ft passes. Breaking the 60 ft beams with the rear tires. If I can ever figure out how to shrink my photos to post them I will. Or maybe I can post my photobucket album.

    There is a big difference between Japanese and ricer.

    Ricers are the people who say Nos and put loud exhausts and hot air intakes on slow cars. And those who put large wings and big ugly "racing wheels" on 4 door honda accords qualify too. I really get a kick out of the little kids who try to make drift cars out of their puny little civics. They think they are so cool cause they are loud and have a bunch of stupid stickers on them. The real funny part is that none of them seem to realize that real drifting is having the skill to be able to overpower your rear wheels in a turn and control the slide. Pulling up the e-brake and flat spotting your mom's factory 13 inch tires on the old civic hardly qualifies.

    And there is nothing wrong with nitrous on a vehicle that is adequately prepared for it.

    Drag racer guys love it cause it is cheap horsepower. They also run lower c/r pistons and run the mixture rich so it doesnt lean out when the shot kicks in.

    I intend on running a small (25-40) shot on my turbo motor after I have all the kinks worked out. But keep in mind it will be on a fuel injected and computer controlled engine. I will have an additional fuel injector to provide the fuel required to keep up with the additional o2 when the no2 kicks in. The ecu I am using also has the provisions for no2 and can be set to adjust the timing slightly to lower the combustion tems.

    If that's a true 50 shot you could use a splitter and splice it into the intake boots but i'm not sure how you could richen the mix enough on the fly? maybe you could plumb a small rc car tank and pump to the no2 jets in the intake boots with a micro switch at the kits trigger but you would want the pump to start before and run on a little after the no2 hits, I think it's a little to risky for my liking but let me know if you try it

    I here you man I had a kid come in one day wanting prices on a "nos kit" for his pontiac G5 (still can't figure out why) I told him It wasn't really our thing but I could probably special order him an edelbrock nitrous system for a decent price and he had no idea what i was talking about! I might as well have been speaking a different language! If it doesn't say NOS it doesn't exist I guess? But who needs it when you have 200 hp worth of stickers who needs a brain?!

    I've debated those little kits before .... seems to me if you jetted your carbs to be a tad on the rich side and then plumb'd one of those kits to all four cylinders, you'd get a nice little pop without leaning out the mixture enough to blow stuff up.

    We ran nitrous in our 400-small-block powered drag car. 300 shot off the line proved too much for our holley doublepumpers and we burnt up one cyl head pretty bad.

    I love nitrous, quick easy install, for some easy cheap +horsepower. But it can and will DESTROY an engine if you're not set up for it.

    As for the ricer stuff.... Yeah. I hate those kids. I drive a 98 V6 camaro as my daily driver now, and all the stupid little ricer kids always want to race me. My 210 hp v6'er is always faster than their mommie's civic with $5k of "go-fast" (read: extra useless weight) parts on it.

    NOS = new old stock, or as previously mentioned Nitrous Oxide Systems.

    NO2 = nitrogen oxide. a highly toxic brown gas. used for making nitric acid. main ingredient of the brown smog you see over heavily polluted cities.

    N2O = nitrous oxide a.k.a. laughing gas. colorless, pleasant odor. used in rocket motors, aerosol propellant, medical uses, and of course.....USED AS AN OXYGEN CONCENTRATE ALLOWING MORE FUEL TO BE BURNED!!!

    a perfectly tuned bike will just bog and die when you spray one of those dry kits.....unless you pull the choke at the same time!

    pulling the choke, of course, that is a good way to enrichen the motor so it wont destroy it, why didn;t i think of that, zookie, ur that man!

    Well technically a choke will just decrease the amount of air entering the engine. An enrichener like xj's have will give the engine more fuel at idle but I dont think it has much of an effect at WOT. How much of a difference it makes I dont know, but I dont have a motor or two to kill in the name of science.
