NOS for MOD E55...
Well...I dont know anything about NOS...Only that its no very safe and will give a good kick to my beast...

What is safe limit of NOS can be used on Mod E55 50-75 shot ???
How and where it is installed and how does it work ???
Should I do it or NOT
I dont want to have any probs with my motor...

NOS:nx:
Every car I've known to have NOS on it has had engine problems over a period of time. While limited use would limit the potential damage the hp gain you get from it is to much to resist. It's like a drug! My brother is on is third engine because of NOS. He's vowed to never use it again, turbos or a supercharger is his next buy. If our cars didn't cost so much to replace the parts I would do it myself and try to maintain some self control. But $45k for a new engine is ridiculous. My personal opinion is that if my 4000 lb. luxury sedan can run mid to low 11's with bolt on mods I'll be happy, if I want to run any faster than that I'll buy a old C5 Corvette but TT's on it and run 9's and 10's. Maybe some members can chime in with there experience with it. Just my 2 cents.

Not a long term solution in my opinion and used to set records ...
Also many guys differentiate times on and off the gas so ... not so sure what its worth ... we know E55 can run 10's with juice .. doing it on motor it what we want to pursue......
E55 RUS - I would get 2.82 diff + quaife LSD.... if you have not got it already
Also if you want to go to town in qtr/m .. cut out some space on inside of the car and fit some 335+ tyres ... that will catapult you off the line ...

Exactly! You say "I'll only use it once or twice, you know, when I really need it." Fact is, once you feel the instant torque that N2O provides you get addicted. Hopefully MB isn't reading this post but I went through bottles and bottles of juice just because it was so much damn fun. 0-160's were amazing on the bottle and I suffered no heat soak like my father's SL55 did after high speed runs. I loved the stuff...but I think it may have damaged my tranny, not sure lol. Rflow, DerekFSU, and a few others that I don't think want their secrets divulged have N2O. I think they are running 125 shots.
Russ, if you get it installed correctly I could definitely see a 100 shot giving you amazing increases and no problems. Just you have to promise yourself that you'll ONLY use it when you need it (racing against some badass competition). I suggest installing it and then removing the bottle and only putting the bottle in if you know you're racing, this way you don't get tempted. I'm not lying, *****s mad addictive bro. Good luck feeding your need for speed

Skip NOS Mike. You race too much and with non-stop weekly usage, you are bound to have a problem with the system sooner or later. Just one example, the solenoids (control flow of NOS to motor). If she sticks open once (does happen), it's bye-bye time on the motor.

I have a buddy who has an 03 Trans AM. He always wants to race and I beat him down very badly everytime. The other day he came by for some more "medicine." We went from about a 30 mph roll, which I thought was odd, but when we jumped on it he pulled about 1 1/2 cars on me and held me off all the way up. Gee....I wonder how his car got so fast? We ran three more times, this time at my speed, 5 mph roll, and I jumped about 3 cars on him and continued to pull. He admitted to his new drug..N02. He just got it about 2 weeks ago and he's already on his 3rd bottle. He drained in on our fourth run. I anticipate his blowing his engine within the next month or two.

Back in the mid 80's, I witnessed a new Ferrari owner blow the entire intake through the bonnet. The guys solenoid had obviously failed and leaked a ton of nitrous into the intake when the car had been sitting. He went to start the car and........BOOM!!! The top end of that engine was scattered within a 50' radius of the car. I think the repair was around $40K - $50K back then.

I have never had solenoid failure in all my experiences and neither has anyone I know. Especially after catastrophic failure like that video, it's hard to determine the weak link. All your parts are essentially destroyed. NX uses solenoids that are huge in comparison to NOS products. The can out flow the **** out of NOS products yes, but there construction is heavy duty. Maybe thats why I haven't yet heard of any problems. I say do it...and just as you suggested to yourself, start small, and increase with desire. Once you hit the 100 mark tho, timing and diff plugs become almost necessary. Another note is you will actually see greater gains than the desired shot you install due to the fact that its also working as an intercooler for that hot roots. a 50 shot will produce about 75hp. As I have always said before, a proper nitrous setup and safe tune makes bottle friendly car without any problems. Make sure the person who installs the system knows what they are doing. The corvette had some serious issue. Nitrous alone is NOT flammable, so whatever happened to that vette seems it started with a fuel leak to me.

I dont want to have any probs with my motor...I run nitrous on my supercharged M3 (e36) with zero problems.
To me its just forced induction as long as its properly jetted.
With proper jetting your mixtures will be stable.
For safety i run an electronic bottle opener/closer, dual nos solenoids in series so that even if one fails the other will still close to shut of supply. I also use oversize solenoids for additional safety.
Do it properly and you won't have a problem.
