Components Needed for N2O

Nalayah · Post by **Nalayah** » Fri Nov 02, 2007 12:06 am

Yes, I've searched, and found some information, but not info on what I'll need to upgrade from stock.

For my Neon, what things will I need to upgrade in the engine (pistons, rings, et cetera) so it'll be able to take N2O? I'm assuming that rings at the very least is a given, but what else? Seals, gaskets, anything like that?

And, what kind of boost can be expected from stock with different systems?

EDIT: Changed "NOS" to "N2O," thanks for pointing out my mistake.

this belongs in forced induction

I moved it for ya - also, this is what I have heard - on a 50 shot, you are fine with stock components, and I think one stage colder plugs???

Please, also, do not call it NOS, NOS is a brand name, Nitrous Oxide Systems... the term is actually n2o or nitrous, or nitrous oxide...

Just saving you from some possible flaming.

50shot is fine for a stock motor...

if you wanna run more than a 50shot, replace the pistons, rods, bearings and piston rings...

upgrading to ARP Main, Rod, and Head studs wouldnt hurt either...

Ok, I'll keep that in mind

. Thanks a bunch.

Does this mean that the flaming NOS stickers bought at AutoZone DON'T add 1/2 foot-pound of torque per sticker?

Anyway... what kind of kit and plugs would you recommend for a 50 shot? How much does the actual N2O cost? Cherry or Blueberry pie?

the gas itself ranges in price...its not always the easiest to find.....

i know that modern performance sells nitrous kits...they do come complete if i remember correctly...

I couldn't find any on MP, but a bit of Googling took me to here. For $700 it sounds like a good deal. Thoughts?

Ah, I was looking under the normal neon, thanks.
