Looking for information about adding nitrous to a 200 I-6

[Anonymous]

Hey, I am in the process of rebuilding a 200 I-6, and am wondering if anyone has any info on how to add nitrous and what parts to use, like cams and such. also, if there are kits out there, or any sites to refer to.
any help would be great.

ummm..... not sure if i'm correct or not, but i think MustangGeezer did it......

It's Dan (import killler). Him and others have tried their cars on juice, with great success I might add.

And as far as those pics, too bad, but that's what you get for not reading the instructions

This example was a badly-installed Nitrous Express kit . They wired up the heater directly to 12v (not on a temp switch) and left it on. Then they had TWO pressure release vents on - instead of one - which doubled the emergency release pressure. The car owner claims a malfuntioning safety valve/disc/cap. (?) And below you can see the results.

Yea, go for it man! I am using a real simple setup on my car and have had nothing but good luck. I started out with a small 25 shot and worked up to the 100 shot that is in there now. I am going to soon up the shot a little bit more to a 125 or 150. I have been running it for a long time now with great results. I don't know how many bottles have been run through it but I can tell you it has been a LOT of them! Oh yea I am running cheap $11 cast 2.3L HSC flat top pistons. As far as the rest of my 200 goes I rebuilt it with stock and basic parts. Stock block, crank, and rods with ARP 289 rod bolts. A rebuilt '77 250 head with a little home port clean up I guess you would say. I had it milled .060. Oh yea lots of good machine work. Clifford 280 cam and valve train. Like I said it is basic as it can be. The good ole 200s are SUPER MEGA stong! I never wory about throwing a rod or anything like that. If you ask me I think they make great motors to put power adders on!

My nitrous kit is an old NOS "Cheater" kit with a Fogger nozzle(no plate) tapped in my Clifford Holley carb adapter under the carb. Thats it!

If you have any questions just let me know. You can see some old pics on the link in my sig and get an idea of how I did it. Nitrous RULES!!!

hey thanks alot for the pics and info!
im going to call holley and get some info...
did you call them? do they have any help on this subject (adding nitrous to an I-6)? i just thought they are all about V-8s, and dont know much about I-6... but i could be wrong

i thought about running the gas on the motor in my ranger. But i haven't gotten around to it yet. I'm either going to go with the fogger nozzle under the carb like Import Killer, or im going to do individual runners so the fuel/air/n2o mix is right, or close to it.

Nitrous is FUN stuff...

Import Killer,
I have some questions for you, let me tell you. I have read alot about NOS and was wondering how you have your carb set. I know all about wet and dry systems, but those are all efi situations. Cause out of all the stuff i've read, you've had to add more fuel, and from what i'm getting from what your saying is that your not adding fuel. On efi, dry system will adjust by adding more fuel threw sensor reading. But carbs don't have that. So do you deal with that at all or what??? I'd love to learn from you. Thanks

The difference between a wet system and dry is as you pointed out that the dry system adds fuel through the factory injection system. A wet system then obviously adds fuel through an alternate system, that is through another jet or fogger that is setup for fuel. This is how the nitrous systems were designed before the advent of electronic fuelinjection. Most systems for carburated cars will be wet systems so most of them could be adapted to work on your car. Typicaly us oddball lovers have to adapt everything for our cars but various companies are now seeing there is money to be made from us. Therefore most companies will work with you on what you need and usually don't charge alot extra. I believe NOS has a plate for the carbs on our sixs including the adapted 5200 Holley/Weber carbs! Have fun and good luck!!!
