Nitrous on a 5S Options

[94celicadude]

Hello all,

Its been a while since I have posted anything up... got both of my girls running like dreams and of course the projects just keep coming on.

I finally got the 7A sorted out, basically ended up rebuilding it a second time because of crappy piston rings from the shop that put the short block together... and after two bolts fell out of my shift forks, i finally got her back up and driving again... now just have to put the new S-AFCII back in it after the original was stolen... oh and get a tune.... damn i guess i really had some **** happen to me lol

Oh well anyways... this topic is about my GT Hatch.


Over the summer I ordered a set of Webcams 294 regrinds... installed them and I absolutely LOVE them! I really should have made a post about the installation and the results after tuning.

Basically... the cams bumped me up to 132 WHP.. and i forgot the torque #... sorry I would post the dyno chart but I am in Spain studying abroad and dont have it with me.

Well to get to my real question, I bought a Zex Wet Nitrous kit for my car.. and have not yet installed it considering my motor has 245K miles on it. So i am going to rebuild the motor, do some NA mods to it as the same time... Extrude Hone and such... and then i would love to hook up this nitrous kit.

My questions are... has anybody ever put a nitrous kit on the 5S?

Can the 5S take a 75 wet shot? (After a rebuild of course)

Has anybody had any bad experiences putting nitrous on the 5S?


I hope to get some feedback, positive or negative. I am doing this in order to make sure that i dont cost myself a second motor rebuild againlol

Hope to hear from all of you.

Thanks
Matt

PS I figured id post up a few pics of the car as she sits now... just for fun

I've talked to matt about this before, he said it worked great but he went to a turbo short after because he wanted more. A 75 shot would be safe, the rule is 20hp per cylinder so 75 meets that. Nitrous is very safe if hooked up properly, make sure you have a bottle heater, fuel cut off switch, and a WOT switch. Just make sure you have all the necessary precautions and nitrous is safe. I'm not to sure how it would work with the safc since your already adjusting the fuel being pumped in.
