Is Nitrous the easiest way?
Well, like the title says. Is nitrous the easiest and cheapest way to get a good amount of hp in a 2.2l? if so what would i need to have a good nitrous setup, and whats the highest shot i can run. one of my friends said that i can run about 100 shot with stock internals. is that true?

i am running my 2.2 with the zex dry system.. it was an easy install.. but i wouldnt hit it with a 100 shot i am running a 50 shot every now and then.. but start off witrh a 25 shot.. but use the zex system it has a management box that helps..

yes you are correct, wet is better then dry... and i would graduate spray start at 25, then 35, next 50, and finally 75.. get a window switch(only spray within a certain RPM range at full throtle) & an arm/disarm switch, dont forget the perge kit... there are some threads that cover this, do an advanced search in the 2.2l specific threads

Adding fuel to the mixture is the safest thing to do.

i have the dynotune wet kit w/ a 75 shot setup....this is the cheapest way to get good gains...just make sure to get the proper gear to make it run correctly and safely...new plugs (colder), rpm switch and a heater are a good start...bottle pressure is going to be one of the main concerns...remember all the jetting calculations are done at a pecific bottle pressure...usually 900-950 psi...a heater will maintain that pressure when the bottle begins to empty...make sure to check your fuel pressure so that all jets are correct...i think we are around 40 psi fuel pressure i need to double check

Also, if the dealership was to see any lines from a nitrous setup, bye bye warranty.

nitrous is always the "easiest way," but it may not be right for what you want. Nitrous is not for those that want more power all the time because spraying daily is a BAD IDEA. it is not cost effective and it is not a good idea for your motor. If you just want an occasional boost in power nitrous is the way to go, but if you want power all the time or most of the time, don't go nitrous, you will just end up getting rid of it and getting blown.

It's more hassle to do it that way though.
It's probably the #1 reason I never got nitrous in the beginning...was paranoid of getting searched (which I did get my car searched once).

yes to transport them that is a little diffrent than to actually purchase them, if that was the case then speed shops wouldnt sell it.. it's just like propane, you need a license to transport but not to buy

I was only referring to the transporting of nitrogen oxide, not the selling.
