Nitrous Express or NOS?

[maniacle_mx3]

Okay,<BR> I have been looking into buying a BPT for my car. Well, that idea has fell through and since I will be getting it in about 8 months from now I was wondering if someone could help me. I am thinking about getting nitrous to settle with right now and have mixed answers. I was wondering if Nitrous express would be better than NOS or the other way around. I am only going to be getting a 50 shot from NOS or a 35-150 shot from Nitrous Express that works for all mazdas. Which would be better and what mods would I have to complete for my engine to be Nitrous ready?

well, NOS has a VERY good reputation. They basically lead the N20 revolution. They are made by Holley which is a very good name in automotive performance. I would trust NOS more than Nitrous Express.

which is better, dry or wet?

i have heard great stuff about NOS. i don't know much about NX. and for jimmy, wet is safer. with a wet setup, it mixes gas and N20 so it burns evenly. a dry setup just puts N20 in, and is supposed to tell your ECU to put in more gas, but i don't know about it.<P>also, the only mods you need for about a 50 shot are bigger plugs and to be safe, a new fuel pump (2nd or 3rd gen RX7, or walbro 190 or 255 lph pump)<p>[ September 23, 2002: Message edited by: Paragon ]

This is why NOS is the most popular nitrous system out there. Not based on performance, but based soley on reputation (and flashy, large ads in magazines, not to mention a movie). They have released all of four inovations in the past 10 years -<P> NOSzle<P> Time-based Progressive control<P> Throttle Position Sensor Activation<P> Stainless Steel annular discharge nozzles<P> While Nitrous Express has released at least five in 5 years -<P> Digital Controlled Progressive Control<P> Remote Control Valve Opener (not just some big solnoid attached to the bottle that ALWAYS leaks)<P> Heavy Duty Solnoids as kit standard<P> 2 Stage high-flow nozzles<P> Automatic bottle heater controlled by bottle PRESSURE, not temp.<P> Nitrous Express is on EVERY winning car in NHRA, IDRC, Battle of the Imports and NOPI Compact Drag Racing series. Former Hot Rod Class records were set with Nitrous Express systems. Only recently has Venom broke that streak. But in all fairness, they use their own system, which by the way is wet and not dry like the systems they sell. Also in some close up pictures of the car, the nozzle looks alot like a NX "Shark" nozzle. This type of "badge engineering" is common place in professional racing.<P> NOS still has great products, don't get me wrong. But you'll more performance for your money with a Nitrous Express kit. NX's kits are priced competitve with other kits on the market through internet retailers such as <A HREF="http://www.nitrouswarehouse.com" TARGET=_blank>www.nitrouswarehouse.com</A> and through group buys at <A HREF="http://www.groupbuys.com" TARGET=_blank>www.groupbuys.com</A> <P> You get a kit equal in quality parts that NOS usually leaves in their Pro systems. The solnoids feature lifetime replacement warranty against failure. NX also has the best tech support and I would say ZEX comes a close second.<P> My point is, NOS might be popular with those that are new to modifying cars in general and with good reason. But NX by far is the most popular nitrous system on the internet. Just look around. It's the most popular kit on <A HREF="http://www.neons.org," TARGET=_blank>www.neons.org,</A> <A HREF="http://www.focaljet.com" TARGET=_blank>, <A HREF="http://www.focaljet.com</A>," TARGET=_blank>www.focaljet.com[/URL],</A> <A HREF="http://www.clubsi.com" TARGET=_blank>www.clubsi.com</A>, <A HREF="http://www/sr20deforums.net" TARGET=_blank>http://www/sr20deforums.net</A> and many others. <P> You simply can't go wrong with Nitrous Express.<P> I have used systems from both and have installed systems from the top 5 companies. NX is this the best kit out there.<p>[ October 08, 2002: Message edited by: Anthony Thomas ]

mx is far superior to nos dry set ups are bs get a nx kit you can spray more safely and all you need is a better fuel pump and colder plugs for a 50 shot anything higher and timing is an issue you will have to back the timing off for higher than a 50 -65 shot oh ya and your clutch will fry you need an aftermarket one for sure

I put a NX system in a friends 200sx SE-R and it was the most straight forward and simple install I've done to date. It made me wanna get nitrous on mine till my B6T is done being built. I think i might... after i get a new clutch <BR>also, i heard through the grape vine from a distributor that holley is going out of business.. thats why the victor x is 2 months late on being released...dont know if its true or not but my boss is kinda upset about it because he hasnt gotten his(B16/B20 vtec should run 13.5 out of the box) <BR> [img]shrug.gif"%20border="0[/img]

I have a NOS setup on my car and it works fine. My bottle opener doesn't leak. I have the universal import wet kit and havent had any problems. It was a simple kit and I had it on in about 2 1/2 hours including mounting the bottle. I have pics if you want em.
