Best couple hundred ever spent, should be here in a week. I love my job and connections! The rest is mostly a salvaged LS1 Nitrous Express System.

oh geez, there goes the neighborhood

alex, where do u work, and are they hiring, lol

[Brando56894]

oh **** oh **** alex has nitrous now! :lol: how big of a shot are u gonna run?

[Clutch Master]

salvaged...if its barrys old parts be prepared to break...lol

[IROCZBeast]

nitrous eh?

I want to run a bottle on my car so bad, I'm still debating whether or not I want to go through with it though. Let me know how it works out with the install and stuff.

[qwikz28]

alex let me know how that fuel system is, i wanna get it for my car

[Teds89IROC]

bets on how long his engine lasts? haha, good luck with it man!

NNNNNNNNNAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Teds89IROC]

shh! it might explode!

~Ted

[Savage_Messiah]

Alex... better watch your manifold and floorboards :lol:


seriously tho nice, congrats

[coldkilla]

kiss that motor goodbye. we should get a betting pool going on how long till he blows the **** out of it.

Go pick up the latest issue of GM High Tech Performance, they did a bone stock 96 Impala SS with 115,xxx miles and sprayed a 150+hp shot into it with all the proper electronics, fuel upgrades, and tuning. They made 450rwhp & 500ft/tq on the bottle. I would never spray on the street, because theirs no real use for it. It would be for track purpose only, and as long as Im safe about it their shouldn't be a problem. Every one thinks nitrous is like voodoo or something, Ive been reading into it alittle and if you play it safe its not the end of the world.

I mean how many nitrous passes are on james stock block 3.8?

you seem to be forgetting one minor detail...

3.8 > all

[Savage_Messiah]

But the 3.8 is god's gift to man

hahahahaha matt knows where it's at...

[jims69camaro]

is that a wet system, or does it rely on the stock fuel delivery system for the extra fuel you are going to need for the nitrous oxide? just curious. the 406 will undoubtedly get addicted to the bottle.

[Tru2Chevy]

Which motor? This is the stock 3.8:

read 4 posts above yours ;-) for real though, as long as he doesn't give it a huge shot he should be fine.

:funny: i was just gonna ask "the first one or the JYD motor after he blew the first one" lol oh well

[JL8Jeff]

There is no "safe" shot. It's the same as running a supercharger or turbo. It doesn't matter if there is plenty of fuel and it's been "tuned" well. If there is too much cylinder pressure it will blow the ringlands off the top of the pistons. 6 lbs of boost will do that and I've even seen 4.5 lbs of boost do it to an LT1. The stock LT1 pistons are not very conducive to increased pressure. I wouldn't run more than a 100 shot otherwise start putting together a purpose built short block now.

[Teds89IROC]

to me a 50 shot would be a safe shot because its similar to doing a few bolt ons. But I see what you're saying.

:nod: Ill be runin a 50 or 75 shot or if nessacary 100 shot, its only gonna be for strip use prolly wont have the bottle in 98 percent of the time only when showing off to my freinds :grin: and prolly wont even have n20 in it...Im thinking about edelbrock nitrous system..any comments?

yeah, stop stealing threads....
otherwise, nice score alex, theres plenty of people with 6 digit mileage spraying the hell out of their lt1's, dont let anyone discourage ya:headbang:

[ar0ck]

I still say its all about running it with all the supporting mods! All this voodoo talk is from people who just slap a system on their bone stock cars, if you support it and play it safe you shouldn't have a problem.

[OneFast383]

my first z28 was a bone stock 1994 with a LT1 and 147000 miles on it and i put a 150 dry shot on it and sprayed the **** out of (knock on wood) with no problems besides blowing out a header gasket... before i sold the car i probably made around 60-70 passes on the bottle .... just make sure u change your oil and your spark plugs frequently

[misterjuice]

I sprayed my Buick Skylark (3.3L V6) with like 120,000 miles.............mad powerz yo.

wise words. who's doing the install alex?

[ar0ck]

wise words. who's doing the install alex?

Most likely Stage 1 Automotive. Ive used them before, decent place. I think James goes their for his stuff too.

[WayFast84]

can u pm me a list of sopourting mods?

[Savage_Messiah]

pretty simple, refresh muffler bearing, blinker fluid flush, and install an O-pipe.

[Tsar]

dont foget to add some boost fluid man!

[JL8Jeff]

It's not really about the supporting mods. They really have to be done regardless of the miles on the motor. But the LT1 is a high compression motor with very little material at the top of the pistons. So increasing cylinder pressure is dangerous, plain and simple. It's probably a 50/50 chance of blowing a piston when running NOS, turbo or supercharger on a stock LT1. Some people get lucky some people don't. Sure, you can run NOS and not break anything, but you could also lose a piston on the first run. So like I said, be prepared for a new short block if want to run NOS, turbo or supercharger and run it hard.

So you gotta ask yourself, "Do ya feel lucky punk?"

[BigAls87Z28]

ahaha all I keep hearing is "I need NAWZ...the big ones...two of them, by tonight."

Good luck dude, spray it like you mean it.

[84HOtransam]

maybe..just maybe you'll catch me this time

its all about the tune

[Tru2Chevy]

its all about the tune

Well, the tune is very important, but that can only help so much. Nitrous will always increase cylinder pressure, which will put stress on the pistons. Since the stock LT1 pistons don't have much material there is a bigger risk. As long as Alex gets a good tune and takes the proper precautions, he is increasing his chances of not having any trouble.
