i have a ukdm 5th gen lude 2.2 that comes with 11.1 pistons (type s) will i be ok running nitrous.

also as i have a 5th gen there is no way of changing this timing but im only planning on running a 50 shot , will that be ok.

are there people on here that have run nitrous long term ?

Yes, Yes, and Yes. I run 11:1 CR. A 50 shot is fine on stock timing. And there are tons of luders that have run alot of juice.

what would you say to someone that hasn't used nitrous before and is scared that hes gonna break something ?

ive heard alot of horror stories in the past

NXLude · 04-09-2005, 07:55 PM

Nitrous is just like a turbo, or high compression or anything. If your not educated on how to use it or you dont follow the rules then your gonna break something. If you just use it how it is supposed to be used then you can have alot of fun without breaking anything

one more question, ive looked at the installation guide that zex give with kits and it says about running the nitrous lines on the outside of the car is this right ?

i was just going to run them under the carpet

NXLude · 04-10-2005, 02:54 PM

Its better and far easier to run them under the car. There is a drain plug in the trunk, run the line through there and under the car, just tie them (zip tie) to the fuel/ brake lines. Its not that hard.

Do you know when push the buton ? At 5000rpm or 6000rpm?

NXLude · 04-13-2005, 12:53 PM

99% of people use a throttle switch or a TPS switch. That automatically engages the system at full throttle

Adam R. · 04-13-2005, 01:02 PM

Yes but you can have full throttle at 2000, 3000 or 7000.
