a wet shot means adding extra fuel to the dry shot of nitrous. dry shots mean just adding nitrous without adding extra fuel

nitrous itself isn't flammable just like oxygen isn't. they act like a catalyst for rapid oxidazation of fuel IE burning.

nitrous introduced into the combustion chamber adds extra oxygen from the easily stripped oxygen atom from the N20. also the double bonded N2 is briken apart during combustion releasing more energy. it as simple as that

 

exactly... i never said nitrous was flammable, i said WET nitrous is...

 

there is no such thing as "wet" nitrous it's just a term to describe adding more fuel to the engine along with nitrous. the extra fuel comes from larger injectors in the 3.8 so no nitrous is not flammable in anyway shape or form. it's the fuel that's flammable

when you get you nitrous bottle filled you don't say fill my bottle up with wet shot nitrous. dry or wet systems use the same exact nitrous bottle.

 

jesus.... yes but if you get into a wreck and **** starts to leak and theres an ignition source (ie, shorting electrical) it will go boom and you will go bye bye... its not worth the risk no matter how minimal the risk is... i mean hell today, getting in a car is a risk in itself... people dont know how to drive so they end up killing eachother on the roads...

 

no nitrous doesn't go boom in a wreck. if you wreck and the fuel line breaks and ignites then you have a real problem if the nitrous gets mixed into the equation.

for the last time nitrous is no flammable by itself. you really need to sit back and learn alittle dude

 

...i never said nitrous is flammable.. when you make wet nitrous.. by mixing the nitrous with gas... it could be bad if you got in a serious enough accident... and putting nitrous in ones car means they wish to race... and racing is at very fast speeds and what happens when you hit the gun next to you or another driver at close to 100mph? **** gets F'ed up fuel lines break sparks fly, sparks are an ignition source gas and nitrous are very reactive together there for it is reasonable to assume that you will friggin explode be all of your gas will ignite and again.. you would be dead..

 

....did you say oxygen isn't flamable... LOL... Let me break it down to you with some chemistry 101...

Oxidation is the act of burning.... With no oxygen there is no flame... nothing is flamamble without oxygen... the gass they use for space shuttles has a very high oxygen content so it will burn in a vacuum. The reason they don't use pure oxigen in space ships is because it is one of the most ignitable substaces, period. They tried that with apollo 1 and it went boom!

Nitrous mixed with fuel will go boom...easilly. The Engine realeases small amounts of feul into the cumbustion chambers of the engine, which let more or less oxygen in depending on throttle positon (that's what makes it go faster when you push the throttle down), then it ignites turning the rtters in the engines creating motion driving the car forward. And with the compressed oxygen in the cumbustion chambers combined with the nitrous it has a very, VERY high chance of blowing up if you crash...

so yeah... that...

Also the nitrous it's self makes crash more probable as the sudden burst of speed makes the steering less responsive... giving you a higher chance of not being able to dodge the wall that your about to hit going 150+ mph. there is a lot better ways of boosting HP perminately while maintaining the precise control needed at high speeds.

But I would do a cobra enigne swap... just go to a junk yard and find a salvageable cobra engine and tranny and put in in the 6'er... you just need a raised hood. Then the rest of upgrades you need will be minimal (like 1000 dollars at most) Limited slip Diff., 3.75 gears (you don't want the 4.10's with such a power full engine... you just spin your tires all the time... even with the diff.) then you need to correct the speedo... and you have your self the speed of a cobra and the handeling and insurance of the 6'er.

 

yes! finally someone who knows alil chemistry.. i mean **** im taking chemistry this year but nnoooo im not credible...

 

you said WET nitrous is flammable. WET your adjective describing the nitrous. you can't have different types of nitrous (unless you're talking about medical grade and the race stuff with the added sulfate shat). there is no such thing as WET nitrous. face it, you're wrong. you were saying WET nitrous as if it was something that's actually flammable. you can modify your words all you want to TRY and make it work.

and if you have enough fuel and nitrous puddled into your intake to cause detonation, then somebody doesn't know what they were doing. most places make it a point to avoid those types of scenarios. i'd say 99% of the nitrous explosions you see are caused by improper installation.

 

my budget is roughly 4500. I already have dual exhaust. I was planning on going with some headers i hear long tube are better but i can't find them anywhere. I believe the car has a larger throttle body. Hopefully. I am putting about 600 into the suspension and eventually i am going to have to buy tires. The car already has aftermarket rims on it. I think they are 17's but i haven't seen the car in so long i forget.
