I'm considering adding nitrous

Anybody ever run nitrous oxide on a 2.4rz?

 

Haven't heard of it, but post a thread if you go for it. It'll be interesting.

Just know what you're getting into. Most people I know that have installed NOS did not keep those vehicles for very long.

I wouldn't go over a 50 shot without major upgrades to your fuel system , ignition or engine components

 

Meth injection would likely be the cheapest option to make it safer. Lower combustion temps and you could either do a passive system or have it shoot meth at the same time as nos if you don't want to be filling it all the time

 

fog it............. NOT wet injected

40-50 shot would be safe

trouble IS air....gas ....NOS end up in different places within the cylinder
worse when wet injected

when fogging that allows a better blending..............fewer hot spots

tooooo much HP = hole in piston

bad timing = head gasket

 

I know very little about nitrous, so thanks for the input. I need a kick at wide open throttle when merging into 70+ mph freeway traffic. I'm thinking that with a manual trans and no passing gear, a shot of nitrous would provide the jolt I'm looking for. WOT is the only time I would need it.

What does "fog it" mean?

 

Fog it refers to a fogger nozzle, which disperses the shot for less hot spots.
Your main choice is dry vs. wet. Dry shot is alright, it relies on your existing fuel system to pump additional gas through an ECU calibration.
A wet system will come with a system for adding the extra fuel and ultimately mixes the gas and nitrous before the nozzle.
Worth mentioning since you said this is for getting on the highway, either system is pretty dangerous and if not hooked up exactly right will blow you or your motor sky high.
Even if it IS hooked up just right, you're going to blow something eventually using it on a daily/regular basis.
Why not just do a big turbo? If budget is the issue there are ways of piecing together a turbo kit if you know somebody who can tune (which you would need to even CONSIDER adding nitrous).

 

Before considering Nitrous , it is in short supply which is bringing the cost up to fill nitrous bottles or Mother bottles . Ive seen refill prices of $12 to $18 per lbs

 

Get off the internet, this is terrible advice.


PLEASE INSTALL NOS AND RECORD RESULTS. DO IT DO IT DO IT.

 

when fueling an engine Ur mixing air / gas

adding NOS equals 3 disparate entities that dont mix equally in a cylinder

most engines will safely ingest NOS if an injector is Upstream of the intake tract

injecting a ' fog ' of NOS as opposed to injecting raw/wet NOS directly into the cylinder

many like the dramatic results of wet/raw NOS injection referred to as a ' Shot ' !!

either done correctly will yield good results ( a Shot way more HP !)

save for the fact 'Fogging ' doesnt usually damage an engine whereas many

a head has been corrupted or head gaskets lost to wet Shots !

 

There is a 2rz supercharger with computer and a couple pulleys on ebay right now.

I can’t stop laughing, NOS merging onto the freeway I hope OP finds a way, this would be so cool to see on video

 

Heck yeah you could do that. Get a sneaky pete 50hp dry shot. Run your line, tap your intake after the MAF, mount a WOT switch on your gas pedal. I bet you could spray a 50 shot with no other mods.

 

what i said..................

yet

not sure how long the fun will last

 

No passing gear?? You have 5 of them. Don’t be afraid to give it a few revs.

 

I usually just come here for info and have never posted but I was searching to see if anyone else was spraying and came across this.

OP, I have an NX universal wet kit from another vehicle that I put on my 2020 3.5. I’m jetted for 50hp. I have ov tune and have made some modifications to the tune to support the N2O at WOT. Most wet kits come with a WOT switch and I would recommend that. The NX wet kit does mount in the intake tube but spray from the nozzle is not as detrimentally uneven as some would have you believe, not at 50 shot levels anyway. I only run 93 and I would recommend the same if this is the route you go. As for why I put N2O in a Taco because it’s not a drag racer or I should have bought a different truck or any similar BS comments. Because I had a kit laying around, I am comfortable with my knowledge of using it safely and because I felt like it. It’s fun to have a little extra power on tap sometimes. Would I use it every time I merge onto a highway? Probably not. But you do you. Depending on your budget there are plenty of ways you can spray safely without worrying about the longevity of your engine any more than any other power adder.

In my experience people get overzealous with N2O. It’s very easy to change jets on a nitrous kit when 50 no longer feels fun, but without supporting mods that is when most folks get into trouble in my experience. PM if you have any questions on my setup.

edit: as someone else said, like everything else since covid, nitrous is on short supply right now and VERY expensive. You should take that into consideration.

 

Wow. Just wow.

 

Thanks for your comment. Someday I'll work up the nerve to put nitrous on it. But for now I've bought drilled and slotted brake rotors and steel-braided brake hoses for it. Does it need them? Of course not. I just wanted them. So I bought them. Now that I'm retired, I have a lot more time so spend working on my truck.

I'm also considering the Stage I cams from lcengineering. I bought a damaged cylinder head just to practice setting lash adjustments before I make the actual swap. They're also not currently available, but when they are I'll be ready.

They also have a supercharger for it that I'd like to buy. But $2500.00 bucks is a little steep. This video shows the owner installing one of lce's blowers on his truck: https://tinyurl.com/25vx8bj7
