So I just got my first camaro a few days ago and it came equipped with a nitrous system installed on it...it was not uesd by the previous owner, but was uesd by of course the person who installed it 3 yrs ago. My question is... is it safe tou s enitrous on a stock engine? And could any damage h a v e been done by u s i n g it? thanks in advance..

First off is this a LS1 or LT1 car. Second it depends a lot on the set up. Nitrous will not hurt your engine as long as you keep it in the correct levels and have proper fuel. How big of a shot is on your car? Wet or Dry? ETC?

 

sorry, but i have no idea how to tell what kind of engine it is (help!?) um, i guess the most i can do to describe it is take some photos, because it is one messy set-up. i have a power switch and a switch with masking tape on the side saying "4, 3"...anyways, ill try and get some picks up tonight possibly of the set-up and see what's going on.

 

What year is your car. Take some pics of the area right after your air box. That should tell us what kind of kit it is.

 

What year is the camaro and is it a V6 or V8. That will tell us what kind of engine you have

 

Well here is a pick of the nitrous system and the engine it is a dry shot, not sure how strong what model, etc... the car is a 1991 5.7L V8

 

From what I hear, the car should handle a 100 or 125 shot pretty well, but once you get to 150 is when you start pushing it. I'd ask people with more nitrous experience though, or look at some old threads.

 

That is a clean set up. 350 TPI with a wet plate kit (that is a wet system). You should be able to run a 75 shot and still be well on the safe side. With tuning you may be

 

All 3rd gen z/28s are 350 TPI. May I ask why you need to use Nitrous? Unless you plan on racing on the track, leave it alone. N20 is not something you would use during WOT for fun.
