Nos and auto 2.2

[shiny alero]

I have been considering putting in nos in my 03 2.2, do i need any engine mods to do this?, also will putting a k&n filter on my stock intake tube give me any results? for HP or gas millage?

[number1alero]

well be sure its a wet shot, and wouldnt hurt to get some performance upgrades to ensure your shot is safe (pistons, rods, cams, maybe a port and polish) all depends on what kinda shot your wanting to run

i probly wont use it, but i just wanted to no incase i did get it and ever use it... any idea on my filter quistion?

[number1alero]

i dont think theres a substantial gain in either category..especially not in the HP aspect (prolly no gain at all)

[shiny alero]

i seen at auto zone a universal cai...are they any good?, im new at all this mod stufff

[number1alero]

they are the cheap way to do a CAI...which is the same as the $120-$200 option that comes with a brand name product. so take your pick there

[shiny alero]

were can i get a good 1 for about 100 to 150?

[number1alero]

go with the auto zone one and save the $100 youd spend on the brand name, its the same quality and all

You know NOS is the name of a company :rolleyes2:

Good one Redog

but it's used generically to refer to nitrous oxide.

Just like "Kleenex" is generically used by most people to refer to tissue paper even though it's a brand name......should we drag "Coke" into this too? heh

geeezeee another one of these threads.......

It's called nitrous, chief, and do a little research on it and you probably wouldn't be posting this. Yes you can put it in, yes it's fairly easy to do. Get a Nitrous Express wet system, don't use a nozzle higher than 35HP or 50HP on a stock engine.

start using that search button man.......if your not sure, look around, the best way to get ideas and see how its done is to look around. its alot more effective to look rather then opening a new thread and ask every damn question when its been asked and answered a million times (and trust me, almost EVERY question has come with when it comes to alero mods)

I know I'm breaking balls, plus I hate is being called NAAAAWWWWWSSSSSSS! :banghead:

N2O = Nitrous Oxide otherwise known as juice or nitrous or Nitro
But anyways, stock Ecotec is capable of handling up tp 75 shots

[Cliff8928]

I believe that GM got the ecotec up to 283HP before they blew anything up (all 4 rods). But you wouldn't want to go anywhere near that unless you're very experienced.

They ran up to 390hp on all stock motor (lol all 4 rods simultaneously snapped). I was looking into nitrous and here are my recommendations. There are plenty of people running 100 shots on all stock motors. I would run a 75 or less and it has to be wet. It would also be advisable to get an msd ignition so you can adjust for timing if you go above 75.

[Cliff8928]

I believe the 283 was WHP, but either way, i got that info here...

Oh, lol I was just a little mistaken on the numbers...sorry
