a logical way to add nitrous?

[goodmoto]

Haven't seen anyone talking about nitrous upgrades for a while, so I figured I'd see if anyone had any input. I'm starting to grow restless with the absence of aftermarket parts for my 2005 base, so at the moment I'm considering adding nitrous.I know some people like it and some people don't, but is there anyone out there who is currently using it? How's it been working for you?Also, would there be any reasonable way to install one so that it could be swapped out when taken in for warranty repairs, etc? Or is it safe to say that I'm going to have to choose between my warranty and a nitrous system? I appreciate all your help.-Brett

ZEX makes a kit that uses a cone air filter from a cold air intake or short ram to put the nitrous into your engine. Dont know gains on a Vibe but think this would be an easy install. Check it out here. http://www.zex.com/Catalog/pdf/20.pdf

im pretty sure youre not supposed to spray nitrous before the maf sensor. that would work on cars with other sensors. but if you take you time routing and hiding components. its easy to hide.i put the nozzle on the underside of the rubber intake nozzle ran the lines inside the car.i could unscrew the solenoids pull the lineback in the car coil it up under the dash.etc.i could hake it unhooked and out of sight in about 30 min. my dealer never found mine.

I liked the idea of the cone filter nozzle. That's a dry type nitrous system, though. That's not very safe to use with our returnless fuel system. Might be ok with a small 25 shot, but I would recomend a wet kit.

Quote, originally posted by satur9 »im pretty sure youre not supposed to spray nitrous before the maf sensor.That's pretty accurate - considering the MAF sensor is just a heated wire and resistance measuring circuit. If the wire breaks - it may spark. In the off chance you're sending a nice oxidized mixture of fuel past it, you'll have a pretty display of combustion.Typically the first think you want your nitrous/fuel mix to touch is the intake valve. A dry shot would work fine - the cone filter specifies nitrous only (dry shot)I sure would like to know if anyone with an '05 has a working N02 setup...

I currently have the Zex nitrous kit in my 2004 Vibe GT. You have to use the Wet Kit from Zex which is a bit more than the dry kit. It works great, I really gives you that low end power that the Vibe is missing and gets you to the higher RPMs much quicker. The downfall is that a 10lb tank only last for about 25 shots and its 65 dollars to fill it about every 2 weeks, I have had it for almost 3 months now and have not had any problems with the car mechically. I did however take about 6-8 hours to install correctly and professionally. It is not something that can be easily taken in or out. I would suggest buying an extra tank and keeping one filled at all times and also getting the remote bottle opener. It makes life alot easier. J

i just put a Nitrous Express wet kit on mine with a 50hp shot on my base vibe...this thing hauls some serious (removed)! i kicked the crap out of a VIBE GT the other day! mine is hooked into my INJEN intake tube. HOT!!!! I am gonna find an ECLIPSE this weekend and KICK THE HOLY **** out of it! LOL....
