Guest Zcarsmakemyheadhurt Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 The problem with a plate on a Holley I think is the plate is made to spray in a V. Use a more hi dollar yet correct system with a direct port NOS system. Don't over richen the mixture at the carb, the NOS has the correct fuel jet to keep it rich on its own. Remember the ZXT engine is 7.4:1 compression. Thats not alot of bang untill you spray it up. Start with a 100hp shot and use a MSD NOS igniton retard. Run race gas and retard the timing 2 degrees every 75hp of NOS. Start at max timing 32 with the 100hp set up then go back to 28 at 175 using the NOS box or just by locking it out if you like. Good luck and let us know how it does... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 I ran a 120 hp shot to the wheels with a junkyard parts 3.0 liter stroker, with some pretty crappy Volvo CIS injection and the car still ran mid 12`s. A friend of mine has run a 4 bbl nitrous setup on a bone stock 280z motor with a header and ran high 13`s with this setup with major traction problems.A turbo motor should be able to handle a 200 or so shot before the stock ring glands compress to the point they bind the rings.Provided that a better than stock head gasket is installed with a set of head studs, i might even pull the pan and do ARP rod bolts as well. Sounds like a fun budget motor.Direct port is the only way to fly if you want to make real HP on the L series motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
