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 figured those things should run mid 15s without the shot... so i guess for a 50 thats not too bad.

But yes, a slow car with nitrous, is still a slow car lol

Anybody else have any advice they are willing to part with?
