I will be there next week. Deffinetly look for me. I have the Azure Pearl with the Kaminari Kit.

(I am working on selling my system, if that goes through I will have funds to do more power. I can build another system in the future alittle at a time)

Depending on your shot, it's a lot of feel.... I just ran a lil 50 shot and it gave a noticable pull...

The Zex setup is my favorite, as it's almost as PnP as they come... easy install...

I ran my Zex kit on my stock intake and it was fine. I didnt notice a lot of "feel" of power when it came on but I did notice a lot of wheel hop.....

You can run up to a 75shot on the Zex kit and the tC can handle it.....

Its not a neck jerker but I do notice the world going by a good deal faster. Got up to 120 pretty quickly lol. I beat this mercedes but I havent raced anyone else yet. I want to get rid of this stock intake though cause althought the nozzle is mounted in there good I dont like the idea of it having to go through that first bend right away. I kinda want it to be aimed in a straight path. Its good though I like it, I need a window switch though so I can launch at full throttle and not worry. I also want another bottle as Im kinda purge happy lol.

Yeah, it's not like the movies at all.... but you do notice the power... it's a great cheaper alternative to a full F/I setup, if done right.

This thread has pretty much sold me on running nitrous. I'll probably go for a dry kit, some colder plugs, and maybe some bigger injectors to stay safe - I want the safest, most reliable, simplest solution available. I'll be running no more than a 35-50 shot so I'm not worried about the engine not being able to get fuel through its rail.

That said, who makes a REALLY SMALL nitrous bottle? I want something I can tuck into the rear panel as opposed to having some 10lb bottle in my hatch. It's gotta be stealth as hell; I don't plan on using the nitrous much at all (a few times a year, at most, mostly at autocrosses) and I don't want anyone to even know the thing exists. I'm all about stealthing out the modifications to my car (painting the Ingalls damper flat black, for example) so it seems OEM.

I've seen this "sneaky pete" bottle a few times:



But you'd be filling up allll the time with a bottle that small.

Alright, so I see that I'll need a few things to build a proper stealth dry kit. Remember, I'm only spraying 35-50, so I'm not worried about fuel delivery.

Everyone here seems to agree that Zex has stuff down. It sounds to me like I need to get a simple Zex dry kit with a small bottle (maybe call Zex and see if I can't order a kit with the 2lb sportbike bottle as opposed to the big 10-15lb ones) and the 30/50 nozzles. I'll also need to get a window switch. I'll run an autometer nitrous pressure gauge up front; will I need a bottle warmer and a blow down tube if I mount the bottle in the driver side rear panel? (Being in MI I'd expect needing the warmer.)

I'd be mounting the dry kit on a Weapon-R SRI, and I think I'm tapping the nozzle up underneath the intake tube to make it seem like a really stealth install from looking at the engine bay. With the dry kit, you add the Nitrous Oxide *before* the MAF, don't you?

Sorry for all the questions; I'm just trying to learn this and get everything right the first time.

EDIT: Will I need to run colder plugs with the kit as well?

So I just hit up the 65 today and man its a lot different! lol. I was rollin at about 30mph and floored it... got wheel spin and fought the steering wheel from left to right and there I went. Im amazed! I want to get some new plugs and then I think I'll be set. So nitrous likes exhaust mods I hear?

Ok so I'll be running my car this Friday at the track. I'll run my normal 65 shot for a few runs and then I'll be popping in the 75 to see how it goes. Im gonna either get a bit of race gas or just buy an octane booster to maybe keep things safe. I'll post slips and possibly a video!
