has anyone ever tried to put nitrous on their 2.2?

I've thought about it but never tried it. I'd be curious to see the results and to see how long the poor thing last on spray. It's a lot more than just slappin a bottle and some hoses in . Lets see if someone has the sack to try it.

I have the sack, but not the money......poor little 2.2 needs to become a bottle fed tire ripping baby

I think its Zex who makes a kit just for the 2.2L over on www.truckperformance.com I know Weasel wants to do it some time soon.

614Streets has nitrous on his 2.2. He sometimes is over here or at org.

i hear you can only get a 50 shot tho

That crap does more harm than good. I've seen really experienced gear heads smoke their motors using that crap. I would take it if you gave it to me.

Man i don't care what anyone says NOS is no good for a motor with stock internals. You need forged pistons,rods,etc.,an adjustable fuel system,and a lot of know how to do it right. Zex is a fairly safe kit but it's not worth the money. A 50-or75 shot is still a tease. Trust me i've ridden in my buddy's 98 cobra that was built for NOS from the inside out. How's a 300 shot sound? Now thats worth it . I'm really concerned about when it comes time to install my turbo set up that i'm going to run into similar problems as a motor on juice. Thats why i'm almost thinking about getting rid of the setup and leaving well enough alone. If i have the time or money i'll do it right. And if you have enough sense you might shy away from the spray . The extra 50 or so horsepower is just not worth the cost of a new motor.

Dude, I hate all these people that just dont' know about it...

IF you do everything correctly use the nitrous at ONLY full throttle, and use the CORRECT sized shot, a stock engine will last on nitrous longer than any turbo.....

NITROUS, runs cleaner, burns faster, and is better on an engine than a turbo or supercharger....its all about the size shot of Nitrous that you use as to how fast your engine will blow up......if you use a 50-75 shot, the 2.2's internals are VERY strong for a stock engine and will be able to handle this easily.....its when you get over 75 that you run into big problems....

yes NOS can be usedon a 4 banger ive ran a 100 shot through mine with slicks and hit a 14.7 at 92 mph in pomona but i have the proper engine modifications to make that possible, i would stay away from the zex kits they are inconsistent and are a pain in the ass to hook up if the tps doesnt read enough voltage

I ran a guy with nitrous on his 2.2. He hit a 17.08 with a 50 shot. Talked to him a bit later on that night. He said he couldn't run anything higher than that due to severe backfire.

i ran nos this past weekend but i needed to a bigger nozzle (forgot it at home) i also need a msd to retard timing to be safe and a fuel pressure reg. so i can be sure not to blow but not bad at a 17.6 with my mod minus hte venom and jet2 i also ran the same time with all my mods but i shed my tailgate bumper jack spare and sized down to 14" rims so i m pretty surte if i do everything the same and spray a mid 16 is achevable( hopefully) oh yeah vcn 1000 with the smallest nozzle
