I have a WON NOS Kit 100i boxed in the garage (took off my mazda xedos 6 275 bhp). Has anyone fitted a kit to their 8 thus far? If so, with what results and which set up 25's 100's. Or let me start again. What if any additional considerations should I be thinking about before fitting the NOS kit?

 

Try a search in this forum on "Nitrous" and you'll get a ton of hits. It's been discussed extensively. Here's the search I did.

Has NoS been done? Definitely. Check this thread out. Is it common? No. At least not yet.

Here's a good thread to read about NoS on the '8 too.

 

Thanks for that, some good points but also some people who have been sucked in by the '2 fast 2 furious' boys. I ran NOS in my mazda xedos 6 for over a year 50's, 75's & 100's with no problems except worn tyres. I think NOS will always be a no go area for many people mainly through ignorance. (no offence intended).

 

I certainly take no offense to that comment... I was just pointing you to threads that you could read where it's been discussed.

I too am interested in how well Nitrous will do with the '8. I think the best person here who will make it happen is probably Charles R. Hill - it's in his plans, as I'm sure you'll read.

 

I Will install the kit today but I think I will let the prof's carry out the set up (WON Wizards Of Nos Doncaster UK), mainly the TPS unit as I would not know where to begin (silly drive by wire). I am a bit concerned with ratios and jet sizes but I am sure WON can help. I think just the basic 25's will do (-2 degrees) and not involve stupid amounts of gas (11lb of NOS through 25's 11 mins usage approx. 100's 2 mins 15 secs approx.)

Results to follow, I have a four wheel interia dyno local to me, which I am sure will help.

im guessing ur ok with losing your warranty? good luck :D

 

I have e-mailed NX, asking if the kit they designed/installed for the Mazda 6 will work on the RX-8. I have yet to hear back. My main concern is whether or not the Schrader valve pickup they used on the 6 is present on the 8. What I would like to see is the Zex system with the solenoids in a purple box work on the 8. That unit seems the simplest to install. I have also considered a stand-alone fuel delivery system as a possibility if there are problems with controlling the factory fuel system. Although more expensive to have a separate fuel cell and pump, I could use whatever grade of fuel I like and avoid the need for ignition retards no matter what the boost level. Said system would work on FI as well.
