Nitrous In a Bag

[BostonBeemah]

I have a nitrous kit called "bottle in a bag". I dont know if anyone heard of it. It is a very simple kit which just have a nozzle that i can tap before the MAF and just plug in a plug into the cigarette lighter, hit a button and it sprays. It has anywhere from a 25 shot to a 100. I was wondering what someones recommendations are on running it because there is not much info on the forums about nitrous. I dont want the motor to lean out and if i hit it. I currently run 50/50 e85/93 in my car and has tended to run a little lean at times, and im just worried about blowing up the car... I was wondering if anyone had any experience with anything similar to this kit and what everyone recommends for a "shot" for my car.

Mod list below....

Thanks for any insight and let please not start a flame war....

I would sell it and just get Methanol instead......

if you are worried about blowing up the car, I would stay far far away from Nitrous. Running ot the way you described at the MAF the 'juice" might not get evenly distributed to all the cylinders. The best way would be to have an NOS injector at each cylinder intake port.

You can run nitrous with the JB4, Email terry about it. I know Hotrod over on N54 tech runs it quite often. I wouldn't just spray it without the safety intergration of the JB4. The N54 runs off a MAP sensor not a MAF sensor so it wouldn't be just plug and play.

yeah discuss this with terry, he's who i'd start with.

Terry basically said "We don't suggest or support nitrous use but if you search n54tech
you'll find a lot of info on it!"

This is only for one pull on the highway maybe two gears if that so two sprays.. Theres a guy that runs a dry kit on his 335 on e90post with a lot of success but he has a huge kit with progressive mapping and everything... does anyone know what the biggest shot is that someone has run on the n54??

You also will want a progressive system. An instant hit of 75 or 100 hp is not good on internals. A progressive system kind of mimics turbo spool.

Im getting some race fuel 110 unleaded for this weekend and im hoping that its gonna be better than running e85 and 93 mixed.. My pump was basically maxed out with that setup and with nitrous, the car just cant deliver enough fuel and i think it will run lean.. Im thinking with race gas, ill have enough octane to run higher boost and be able to provide enough fuel without maxing out my pump.. Im gonna try a 50 shot this weekend for one run with that setup and ill log and post it so we can all see if it works out...

I'm curious, do you have any experience with nitrous?

[BostonBeemah]

I'm not sure if he does but I personally have not.. A buddy of mine that's helping me out has run it on 6 cars so knows much about it but told me to try to get info on how the n54 reacts to it..

Methanol will get you almost as far as nitrous will, but is much safer and easier to run. Lots of people run methanol will ease, but there aren't many people on here (and none that I know personally) that have successfully added NO2 to their N54. To use nitrous you really should get a well-built progressive kit, and not "nitrous in a bag" if you're worried about blowing up the car. That's the biggest danger I see.

Well, technically, if you're worried about blowing up the car, you shouldn't run nitrous at all, lol.

I don't run NOS often in my car, but when I do, it's with two big bottles.

[jonnyrocket]

I'd bet my motor that the N54 can take a wet progressive 200 shot with ease.

Edit before some idiot does it: You're turbos won't like it.

Yes. My post doesn't read they way I thought it. I should have wrote that on a bigger single fogger system it is better to do use a progressive timer. It's better for traction and the internals. About 15 years ago me and my friends were nitrous crazy. A couple of them popped motors with janky systems but they also were manually retarding the timing to compensate for the N2O. I ran a 120hp single fogger wet system on an SR20DE motor that stock only put out 140hp. I ran it hard all the time. We put a 150 shot wet system on my cousins Ford Ranger just for shits and the thing ran like a raped ape. IIRC he ended up with a spun bearing after a couple of months.
