Getting Spicy! The ULTIMATE GUIDE For Installing NITROUS In A Miata!

[@NitrousExpressVids]

We are Nitrous Express and we approve this message! Great job on the install and information overview, well done!

[@fatninja987]

I’m here dad

[@Rolo_McFlurry]

bottle design is fantastic!

[@jacksomb1]

Great attention to detail, as we've come to expect from 'Dad'. Great to have you back on the screen and looking forward to seeing where this journey takes us...

[@cory45x]

as an aviation mechanic im impressed with your engine bay flexible hose routing. its exactly what i would expect to find on a plane with adel clamps. my only suggestion would be to use fire sleeve on the hose. that would help stabilize in-line temperatures

[@tylermfdurden]

We missed you! Glad to see more miata videos!

[@mtbiata]

Been a while since I heard that intro, welcome back Greg :)

[@tickandslug]

Hell yeah, I've been hyped for this since you first announced that you were going nitrous on the NB. Good luck Craig!

[@paulkimble4548]

Did anyone else have the moment of realization that Too Soon JR has doubled in value during its time on the channel. 😂😂

[@dirtperson4221slash2]

Incredible job all around, loved the diagrams and data breakdowns. Also thanks for the shout out on the bolt..

[@neonblazesword9339]

This video was worth every minute of my life. Loved these types of videos.

[@robflanders7004]

Honestly just rewatched this video and the edits were hilarious! I was laughing so much during this video. Enjoy the content and love the nitrous content

[@muaddib2678]

Dude first off that bottle design is the best! and if I go nitrous I may just have to copy it Gapatio FTW! Also was getting worried my CarPassionChannel fix was in trouble so nice to see you are ok and as always love the videos. Waiting on next video with much excitement and anticipation.

[@estewar03]

Greg, I'm less than 7 minutes into this & already I have laughed out loud multiple times that my co-worker in the office next to me asked what I'm watching, I simply replied Miata Dad, he looked at me like ???, I was like, CarPassionChannel?? Still nothing.. He's NOT a car guy. This is going to be a great one, hopefully the funny commentary continues...

[@xXRougeNinjaXx]

Hey Greg im sure it was a slip but a restriction in that intake tube would cause it to run like a 94 1.8. its ok we miss mistakes while editing and its part of life. Great vid and congrats on finally getting this to stock 1.6 levels

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

[@v3ctors69]

You win the gold star bottle design bro. Great video as always.

[@TheGeordietheWitchandtheWench]

Always nice to see Miata Dad drop a new video.... it was worth the wait :-)

[@UnsponsoredBuilds]

Been refreshing my favorite channel daily waiting for this video cause I knew it was coming! Even though Greg hasn’t posted for a month I haven’t been bored, I been busy watching all of his amazing other videos!

[@LeadFarmer1597]

Laughed too much at this Greg, great guide, looking forward to the next vid!

Ain’t it quite a small air filter ? Apart from that comment, your video is excellent as usual, thanks for your commitment ❤

[@Az-dq1gm]

This is the quality content I came for.

[@BuiltByKyle]

awesome video man ! thats wicked !!!

[@TheSam10pate]

grew up with a step dad who is a drag car guy through and through and has a nitrous ls fox. the nitrous doesnt work by being compressed it works because nitrogen has two oxygen molecules for every nitrogen molecule. so its not based on pressurizing the intake but being able to chemically fit more air inside the engine. other than that great video man

[@SpencerDansereau]

I think he's aware of that... it was an explanation. He's correct in that you get more oxygen in the same volume. Obviously its not actually compressing the intake pressure like a turbo or supercharger.

[@LemonMan_Man]

I ran a wet kit on my 95 1.8 stock ecu, exintake cam, ran a 100 and then a 150 shot for around 16 10lb bottles. motor did well

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

150 shot on a stock motor and stock ECU?? You're crazy! 🤣

[@LemonMan_Man]

@@TheCarPassionChannel It did well, I also wired the solenoid to the wiper spray motor. 150 is the largest shot I would do on stock ecu. I ran nitrous dry shot in other cars, very sensitive to timing and intake temperature. Never ran a wideband, I read the plugs and went to a 7 ngk, stock jdm non egr intake, no other supporting mods no fuel pump, brand new 02s every 5000ish miles. was reliable and I am trying to find another na miata I miss that car so much. Thanks for the content. p.s. I gave a fbody the smoke and a few mustangs the smoke. Nothing crazy though lol

[@jeffhaft7378]

Hell yeah, can't wait for the new video! I got my FM turbo kit working and loving it on my 99. Just got my FM motor mounts yesterday. Soon FM motor mounts, FM clutch kit (happy meal), and torsion diff you told me about. I got the 3.9 with LSD and bought polyurethane bushings for it..... install soon. This winter....time for handling,brakes,and stiffen the chassis up more than just the hard dog roll bar.

[@g19engineering14]

You can buy 1000psi sensors for about $100. If you had gone with dry system you could have used a general purpose table in the ME ECU to map fuel in a second fuel map against bottle pressure. Would be much more accurate fuelling.

[@IamJ007]

best hot sauce ever. omg I just discovered it the other day. Instantly bought some.

[@deadrabbit6762]

Welcome back!!

[@joelhuckstepp9218]

Great work!!! Totally explains why it's taken a while to upload Seems incredibly tricky and I totally understand your electrical wiring anxiety Fantastic install video though!!!

[@ioriOki]

Now that I made it to the end. I was sad that you didn't order you kit through me at Vivid Racing, but the Nitrous Bottle Paint job quickly cheered me up. This was great.

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

I actually ordered this kit back in 2020 before you were at Vivid D:

Great! Sensei Greg-san drops a video about nitrous... now I gotta add nitrous to my poor Miata.

[@joelyjowell3]

That’s for this set up . This the ultimate miata sleeper set up .

[@YoungsterJory]

I've been waiting all day for this vid😩

[@jerryharrison7026]

Bottle paint idea. It was at that point I smashed the "Like". Great video.

[@evanb09]

Why aren’t pressure regulators used on nitrous systems like this? It seems to me that that would give you much more fine grained control over the tuning process as opposed to the bottle heater by itself.

[@Regape96]

yeah can someone answer this?

[@Grumpini]

AFAIK the bottle heater is necessary to maintain pressure as you're using the NOS because the bottle gets colder as the pressurized gas leaves it. A pressure regulator wouldn't be able to fix the problem of the bottle cooling every time it's used.

[@evanb09]

@@Grumpini i meant why isn’t a regulator used in conjunction with a heater?

[@Regape96]

@@Grumpini surely a bottle heater is a lot of extra weight and cost compared to a pressure regulator? And outside temperature would affect it also no? With a pressure regulator you could just set it to the minimum pressure the bottle would get to and then have consistent pressure, even if you put a larger jet in to offset the lower pressure

[@PointBlank65]

Regulators that can flow that much gas without falling behind themselves would cost exponential more. So just run the bottle pressure and "regulate" with the jet. As for weight , the blanket will be about the same if not lighter than the regulator.

[@mariosnikolaou5212]

Absolute legend

[@Dude_its_Dan]

When I saw the bottle I immediately thought to myself “this deserves a like”

Nice install, looking forward to the results Can someone explain the Tapatio/Gapatio pun?

Do you remember the oldddd video of the Yamaha banshee vs “some souped up civic” and the guy is heating his nitrous bottles up with a blowtorch? This made me think of that and now ill go watch it

Yes yes yes ! Nitrous and miata equal smile! No lag for nitrous ! Good pressure bottle and this crazy juice kick your ass ! Never sold m'y nitrous kit for turbo for me . I love nitrous. I'm happy you try n2o power adder Big up from France .

[@enemen8]

I installed the nx wet kit on my 99 a couple years ago. It ran a 75hp shot for 2 years. When I did the fuel side, I just cut off all the factory lines from the quick disconnect and replaced with rubber lines.

[@Vdeez]

Sounds like the tire is thing that might lead to a giant fuel leak

[@enemen8]

@@Vdeez a lot of cars use rubber fuel lines, what are you talking about exactly?

[@Vdeez]

@@enemen8maybe I misinterpreted what you did, but it seems like you slipped rubber hose over the hard fittings and used clamps

Great video. Going to install my dry kit on my 1.8 soon

[@Shadowfax2121]

Right on Greg. Please tell me you are going to be adding this to the t0rbo for faster spoolup (35-50hp jet, 3-4k rpm until 8psi). z00m z00m

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

That motor made 17psi @ 3300, it doesn't need much help haha. But Could be an excuse to go bigger turbo 😏

[@ruftime]

Congrats Greg! Ideal nozzle location would be a straight shot at the Throttle Body……..and would eliminate that interference with the radiator 😎

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

Per the instructions, they recommend about 6" in front of the throttle body, I was trying to follow that as closely as possible :/

[@Manuqtix.Manuqtix]

Can you diy or make your own nitrous kit? Like using a gas bottle, pneumatic fittings, Solenoid valves and carburettor jets ect?

[@nunyabusiness7104]

Babe can’t hang out right now, Greg posted a video

[@Brodorsport]

Excellent video, I appreciated the thorough details, I have been looking into doing a small nitrous shot on my car and this has definitely given me motivation😁

[@richmondmcgowan]

Absolutely love your content as always, quick question though. What are you doing for Knock nowadays? I have seen your video on the headset for listening but do you run a knock sensor and have the tune alter based on that now?

Could you do a everything you can delete once your on a standalone and how to delete it all video just an idea love the content

[@noncog1]

Ida hooked the relays black to an ignition switched 12v source

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

For whatever reason, they call for a direct 12v. I was just following the instructions with the kit

[@noncog1]

@@TheCarPassionChannel i used to be in the 12v aftermarket industry, and currently do industrial electrical assembly, lmk if you ever have any questions. Some i wont be able to answer from a distance, but most i can. Either way, its a minor detail as the relay should be open (not passing current) almost always any way, but if the car suddenly came into my possession id still tale the time to change it, just to be sure its correct. Youre creating a risk of constant current draw that could kill the battery when off, maybe not any time soon, but when that literally ~12 cent unit cost to manufacture relay is tired of living in a hot, vibrating engine bay... And its just the right way to do it, which matters as an instructional content creator. No hate, long time sub, on my second miata currently, love your content. You stated electrical isnt your thing, it kinda is mine, so like i said, feel free to ask if you have any questions.

Just don't purge when it's too hot outside because the sudden change in temperature will crack your windshield. This happened to Adam LZ on his FD S15.

[@richiep8318]

I vacuumed the rust in my spare wheel well of my 2003 nb, the nozel went through the floor. Yes, I'm in the UK 🇬🇧

[@gedas3419]

Does this ECU have meth injection map? Could save time by using secondary maps of fuel and ignition, by tricking that it gets 'meth'. Also you can PWM that solenoid. Like install 150shot. And go smoothly from 2 procent to like 40. Ignition tunable fuel tunable. Only IF it controls watermeth injection

[@daleabono3616]

Go man, go!

[@vickG123]

Ive seen adam lz crack his front wind shield with a similar purge location

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

Yes and I also did that myself already, LOL

[@lowndslow4476]

There are a few things I see did wrong/to change and to add. Never use the Teflon tape on nitrous fittings, also buy lots of spark plugs and figure out how to read them -2* for every 25hp is a base also raise the throttle percentage also does it have a off rpm? If not try to find a different way to control it then want a little bit on motor before shift

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

Teflon tape was not used - thread sealant was used, as per the Nitrous Express instructions (not used on hose connections, only NPT fittings) -2° per 25hp is very conservative, basically every tuning article recommends -1.5° to -2.5° per 50hp, but I'll figure out what the motor likes on the dyno. Will definitely be on the safe side. No "off" RPM, but neither does a WOT switch system.

[@lowndslow4476]

@@TheCarPassionChannel yes -2/25 is conservative but you start conservative and then creep up on it with nitrous.

[@lowndslow4476]

Also a off rpm is a good thing to have cause if not how end up with back fires etc between shifts

[@haufperformance]

Spark plugs?
