ok i'm sure somone has already asked this question but i'm gonna ask again anyway

NOS makes a 3.4 3.8 camaro system for newer 93-02 camaros but will this same system work in our 3.1 and 2.8 camaros

 

your talking about the 5175kit, I beleive. it should work. The Nitrous Works also has a generic GM EFI kit for about $450. still trying to find more details on it.

 

Get a GP going on it.. If they do it for 350 I know I would do it..

 

Why not email the guys at http://www.nosnitrous.com and find out which system is best?

 

Well, as many times as I've said "email NOS and ask!", nobody will ever do it, so, I looked at their website, and already got a part #. I just typed up an email to them, asking which system they recommend for our cars, and I'll let you know if their answer matches the part # (05120NOS) that I found on their website. Simple, huh?

 

can ya get me a kit for under 400? Please

 

under $400, try this

 

Cheap nitrous? Did I hear cheap nitrous? WOOHOO! Sounds like a plan to me! I'll be the only V6 Camaro guy around with bad steering, bald tires, failing brakes, a rough idle, and a nitrous kit! SCORE.. You don't know how many of my friends are afraid to ride with me now when I opted for a catback rather than a front brake job..(rotors, pads, flush n' fill)...

 

Okay, here's the answer from NOS Tech Support!

So, there you go. Not bad for a 5 minute email!

 

When I installed my Nitrous kit back in 1996, NOS recommended the 5.0 Mustang nitrous kit for use with MPFI 60* V-6 cars. At least that is what the tech guy I talked to said. The kit was WAAAAAY cheaper than $670 too. There is a non-adjustable kit for 86-93 5.0 Mustangs that is pre-set for 75 HP gain. It is the 05115 kit, and it is listed in the Summit Catalog for $469.95. I didn't get any specifics about the system, but make sure it has a throttle body switch so that the system only activates at WOT. If not, you could damage something.

My kit is adjustable from 50 to 150 HP, but since I set it up for a 75 HP shot, I don't see that there would be any difference in the performance between the two kits. I don't think it would be hard to install, and would cost a lot less money. I have mentioned this several times in other threads, but it keeps coming up, so I keep letting people know what worked good for me. BTW, my car is a 1992 Firebird 3.1 liter Automatic, in case anyone was curious. The kit has been on since spring 1996, and I haven't had any problems with either the engine or the kit.

 

I wonder how many components are the same between the two. The 5120 is at summit for $526 (note that Holley's email said "list price")...

 

I am not sure about the common parts... I imagine that there isn't too much difference in them. I am not sure if this entry level 5.0 Mustang kit has a throttle body activation switch or not. If it doesn't, I wouldn't want to run it in my car until I had one. It would be easy to install one by getting a switch from Radio Shack or something. I installed my kit exactly like the instructions said, and I have not had any problems. Another cool thing is that the engine will moan pretty good when you hit the juice.

what is involved installing nitrous in a car?

 

I didn't have too much trouble putting in my kit. The wiring diagram is pretty easy to follow. You will have to drill and tap one hole somewhere in the front of the throttle body. Either be really careful not to get shavings in the engine, or remove the throttle body completely. the rest was just drilling some holes to mount things, and running lines and hooking them up. I think it took me about 6 hours to install it all. I would say that if you have ever drilled and tapped a hole, then you will have no problems. Even if you haven't, you could have someone else do that for you, and then put the rest on yourself. You will have to get the bottle filled up before the fun can begin, but I don't think you will be disappointed.

 

here is NOSsupport e-mail i got back:

The kit that should fit your car is part number 05120 ($670.list) and will
add 60-70HP safely to naturally aspirated, multi port electronically fuel
injected engines. This is normally enough power to drop the 1/4-mile times
by 1-1.5+sec. This kit is also easy to install (about the same as a car
stereo install w/amp/CD changer 3-5 hours). No other mods. are required to
run this kit. This kit is a "pressure boost" style of dry manifold nitrous
kit.

Thanks, NOS Tech Dept.


doh i read up top just now, sorry for repeating...

 

LOL! Looks like they like equating a nitrous install to a stereo install!

 

Tom, they have to give their main customers a way to know how long it'll take, since most of them can't tell time you know... (Yes, that was a shameless ***** bash)

 

Haha, yeah, on my first email to the guy, he replied back, telling me how to find out if I had a vacuum operated fuel pressure regulator. Then he gave a description of how to look for it. When I replied back that "yes I do have one", I told him to feel free to get a little more technical... I assume most of their current customer base has watched Slow & Serious a few too many times

 

Yeah.. Well you know, a 50% horsepower increase at the push of a button is very appealing to the guys with Honda Civics (the 4 doors) and Dodge Colts. Hell it's appealing to me! Can't beat it for the price...it's too bad it's good for a few seconds of power and then nitrous withdrawl syndrome during normal driving... I'd probably get jittery and take the highway places now and again just so I could hit it on the on-ramp.
