Any brave soul try nitrous yet?
I know nitrous is seen by some as the "cheaters" way for more power.......and most people don't like that you have to keep getting the bottle filled and what not. But I'm wondering if anyone has tried it with like a simple fogger system. It would seem like a relatively simple means to get some HP for that extra bit of passing power you need every once in a while...........and 20-40 hp shouldn't be too dangerous.

I thought about adding the Zex kit, mostly for show & because it looks cool to have a nitrous bottle in the trunk....because its not direct port, and its just a dry fogger system, its supposedly not that dangerous to use.

Scion xB supercharged nitrous. I'll be the first and let you know :) I actually just hooked up a cheap sniper kit I bought from ebay last week. Before I got to try it with the 35 jet, I got a huge dent from the little police wood gate thingy that lifts up for one car at a time. It was at the storage facility and I forgot the code so I tried to follow my dad out and it hit my rear. I took the kit off the next day and now my B sits in toyota.

I'm betting the sensor reacts fast enough............whether or not your fuel system could keep up is a different story. Trial by error maybe? Any sacrificial lambs? Any way you go.....I think for safeties sake you need an A/F ratio guage.

This is correct. Rather than go into a protracted explanation here, click on the below link for some good info.

when i first threw nos in my civic the guys at pit crew told me to get rid of the cat converter cause the x tra heat when squeezing would melt it and that was with a 50 shot on a wet system,i heard you could actually make more power with a dry system cause your able to put the fogger further away from the throtle body allowing the nitrous to cool off the in coming air more than with a wet system,anyways ,the only trouble i have ever had with nos was frying one of my exhaust valves but that wasnt till i steped up to a 80 shot,i changed out the valve and havnt had trouble since,use a bottle warmer and blanket from nos there really safe to run and your bottle lasts alot longer when its warmed up,check your plugs alot,theyll tell you every thing you need to know,i personaly wouldnt go for more than a 40 shot with a scion and removing the cat may be a good idea. :twisted:
