Berto Posted February 7, 2002 Report Share Posted February 7, 2002 if i were to get nitrous on the acorn for shits and giggles if i only ran a 35 shot, would i be able to run it often?(like 2 times a week?) also since the size of the shot isn't too big could i keep my stock exhaust piping? or would i need to get 2.25inch piping....?

I would not waste my time. You are not going to feel anything major with a 35hp jetting. A friend of mine has 75hp shot on a prelude and I must say it woke it up. However his car makes 150 at the wheels on the motor allready. If you get it, I can put it on for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRN96WS6 Posted February 7, 2002 Report Share Posted February 7, 2002 I can't stress enough that you must buy the necessary safety equipment if you expect your engine to last. I am not sure on import engines but I know Joe has run in excess of 200 bottles easily through his engine with no difficulties Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berto Posted February 7, 2002 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2002 well i would like to use a 35 shot if i can use nitrous more often. max i would ever do is prolly 65 on my engine, remember its old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted February 7, 2002 Report Share Posted February 7, 2002 Tommy.....uhhhh....I've never ran no 200 bottle through my motor. That would be a HELL of a lot of nitrous!! Even figuring 3lbs left in the bottle, with my 15lb bottle, that would be 2400lbs of nitrous used. At $4 a lb, that would be close to 10k in nitrous spent. Even on a 150 shot, do you know how much I'd have to spray to go through that much freaking nitrous!!!!! A 35 shot isn't going to give much of a performance kick. And just slapping on a power adder and going (even with the safety stuff) is still a good way to end up with a broken car. Fudged transmissions and clutches, no traction, etc. are all part of the deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berto Posted February 7, 2002 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2002 ok cool i was just wondering. i didn't know if a lower shot required less "saftey" or "performance" upgrades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it would help quite a bit. A bottle will last quite a while I'd think running a 50shot..You shouldnt need any performance upgrades for such a small amount of nitrous. It's not nearly as dangerous as some would lead you to believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRN96WS6 Posted February 7, 2002 Report Share Posted February 7, 2002 Sorry Joe I was guesstimating I guess I went a little high Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted February 7, 2002 Report Share Posted February 7, 2002 berto i had a 55 shot and ran a 14.39@98. i was stupid with mine, and it ended up costing me. ALWAYS listen to the company is my new moto!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 1qwikgt Posted February 7, 2002 Report Share Posted February 7, 2002 I ran a 100 shot all last year on cast pistons. I think a 50 shot would last while, if your that worried just go to a step or two colder plug. I used about 1lb. of nitrous per pass.
