I remember watching fast and the furious (strange way to start) and the dude said "too early". I take it that there is a specific time that is best to hit the NoS to get the best results. What is the best time to hit it?

usually at full throttle. But it really depends on what type of setup you have.

that was kind of a joke. but i guess it would be helpful to have a larger bottle if you can't refill it half way through the night.

Nitrous can be run in many different setups,
anything from push button when you need it, i.e. passing on the highway.
or in some drag racing setups multistage nitrous is used. so much when in full throttle automatically to keep consistancy plus a push button. like 50 shot and 100 shot or what ev.
if you have the resources you will go faster holding the button down the length of the track. a toggle switch would work but you might go through it more.

such is life...i did the math on it and there is going to be a lil over 3 grand without the mahle pistons and the turbo charger

Between valve springs, fuel rail, fuel injectors, fuel pump, cam shaft, Zex dry nitrous, cold air intake (until i save the money for the turbo and new pistons) and headers (still have the stock cause i JUST did the swap into my lude) Gimmie about a month and ill have all that stuff setup.

#1 You must sleeve an H22 to run forged pistons.

#2 Why do you have only 1 camshaft in your H22?

#3 Where does the 2nd header go on your 4 cylinder?

#4 You sound like the perfect candidate for NITROUS.



Have Fun!!!!

i dont think you need a fuel rail; ive heard of people using stock rails to around 400hp.

#1 Mahle pistons are made to run on the H22 without resleeving it

#2 I dunno why i said shaft instead of shafts

#3 Ive always called headers headers even if there is only one.

#4 is that sarcasm....cant really tell

#5 Totally forgot i made this thread...sorry it took so long for the reply.

No, he said he was running forged pistons. I have never heard of a piston that you can run in the H22 without sleeving it, (edit - I mean forged) henceforth I stated that he would have to sleeve the block, TRYING to help out and prepare him for the cost. So there.

Forged pistons for stock sleeve H22s have been out for quite a while... I just have no idea if they actually work or not. Some people say they don't.

yes its true that im a noob to these forums, but im NOS certified on install on just about any kit on any import,

first a few statistics on the board:

fast and the furious is all BS!

a stock block can handle half its original power in nitrous amounts flirting with complete stock set up.
(ex... h22 stock block 200 hp = 100 shot pushing the line)

nitrous set up right should have 2 switches for totall safety a WOT swith by the TB
and an arming switch at your reach

a simple NOS kit is basically a bunch of grounds and powers that when all hooked up realease small controlled amounts of nitrous into your manifold through solenoids.

for 3 1/2 years i ran a 70 shot in my 01 lude never had a problem... never lost cyl. pressure, no fuel problems

things you should probablly get for safety,

one step colder plugs
a fpr isnt a bad idea it is helpfull
plug wires

with complete stock internals you can run a bottle week np

so you ask when should you hit it... its not so much when to hit it... its when not to hit it,

dont get on the bottle before 3k dangerous!!!
dont waste nitrous through 4th and 5th waste of expensive nitrous and not too good for the block

if you use a WOT switch arm it pre launch lock the wheels up and get on it in first,
take it through 2nd feel the power, all the way through 3rd and off when your shifting into 4th... dont watch anymore fast and furious its all lies... NOS does nothing in those gears on an import motor making 200hp

70 shot in my 01 lude for 3 1/2 years
70 shot in my 90 si SOHC non vtec block stock internals plugs wires fpr not a single problem... other than the motor torqing so hard i ripped the front motor mount clear off and shattered the tranny case by ripping the rear mount off
not to much not too little be safe be smart best yet get a purge aimed over to the right out the windshield and scare away wrx's as they get some NOS in there face while your handin their ass to them
