im putting a d16z6 in my 91 hf crx. I have the full cold air intake, 4-2-1 header, full cat-back with cat hollowed, and i have a 50 shot of nitrous. Could someone tell me what i should run with and with out nitrous. Oh and i have the si trans it it also.

don't kill it with a shitty nitrous set up. I dunno, mid 15 w/o nitrous.

Kai

Mid 15 without, high 14 with. I think that's a fair guess if you can actually drive the thing right.

v8guy

That was my guess as well but I wasn't saying anything because my only reference is stuff I have read on this board plus a guess on the nitrous. Be careful with that stuff, it can make great power but it is really easy to blow your motor with it. I'll prolly try it on something someday - something with forged pistons!

ED9man

yeah, alot of people can't drive worth a shit.
Driving doesn't come naturally to some people.

i raced one of my buds car that had a similiar set up and got a 14.5. Although he had a zc, which is 130 like the z6(z6 makes 130 right?) and he had a 50 shot with no bottle heater. I think with the heater it would have been like 14.2ish. But im a pretty decent driver.

Kai

I seriously doubt that. Heaters don't do much unless it's cold outside or the bottle is completely full.

I have a bit of experience with liquid CO2, nitrous works the same way (when it comes to behaviour, not automotive performance of course.)The Z6 if rated at 125hp. It depends what ZC you are compairing it to, since ZC's are rated in PS.

Well i don't know, i installed a nitrous kit on my buds maxima and when it was 80 degrees outside on a full bottle the gauge said it was only at 700 psi. Now nitrous kits are designed to run at 900-950 psi. I saw a dyno graph of a nitrous kit on a honda, and with the 50 jets in they dynoed it at 750 psi and got 40whp. They then heated up the bottle to 900-950psi and got 60whp. And after we put the bottle heater on my buds maxima, it was substantialy faster. Before it would just cherp when the nitrous was activated, and now it spins all the way through first and most of the way through second. Im a believer, from experience atleast. And usually when we are running around the bottle pressure gets less when the bottle gets emptier not vise versa.

JoePoonani

you should be careful when using bottle warmers, they can make your bottle go BOOM.

Kai

Nitrous stores in a liquid state, until it the bottle is empty enough to run out of liquid. Pressure remains constant until there is no liquid left, at which point the gauge should start to fall.
