I was seeing if anyone has had any luck running nitrous on a 22re, i am going to run a 50hp wet shot for a little extra kick at the dunes.

Right now i'm running, lc header, intake, doa head,2.5 cat back, inj. cleaned ,i've used nitrous many times on some of my rx7's so it isnt my first car on the bottle-

Saw a pic of a n2o taco with broken driveshaft. Dude mentioned in retrospect that he should have upgraded it.

i don't think i'd do it unless i had forged pistons. otherwise i think the bottom end can handle it, the rods will take 300hp.

I'd probably try it with cast slugs, below 200hp with proper A/F and timing...

A kid on here did it before. Everyone was telling him it was a bad idea. Search around a bit and u should find the thread.

the one that blew his engine?

i think it can handle a 50 shot, i'll swap in a new fuel pump and swap over my aem wideband and see how it does

Yeup.


Norcal... be sure to post pics.

thats who i was thinking about

this is the kid who blew his motor

There is a tacoma with a blown motor, running a 125 shot.
First post is a 22re with a 75 shot.

Neither individual knew their head from a hole in the ground...
I absolutely think that a 22RE can handle a 75 shot of N20.... There are stock internal (cast) 22RTE's running 170-180 hp (wheel) which is in the same power range.

I've heard that the stock cast pistons are good for 200hp, but I can't confirm that. They're probably good for 200hp at reasonable combustion temps.

Doing n20 is just like doing a turbo or a supercharger. You HAVE to be darn sure of your timing and fuel situation. It's likely that the stock fuel pump can't spray enough fuel to support 200hp. You can get a walbro pump for under $100.
Would I try it? Sure, I'd do it just to prove it can be done - on your dime, my motor.. I'd also upgrade my fuel pump and run it on the dyno to make sure my air/fuel ratio is correct across the board, maybe run with a timing retard.

N20 isn't really any harder on your motor than any other high output upgrade (well, maybe if you push the button at low rpm and build massive cylinder pressures). It simply needs to be installed and used correctly.... It's like bolting a small turbo on to a 22RE with no other mods, it's not going to last long unless you make other supporting changes.

i'll read up on it, ive been running on rotaries for years, i'll have the truck alll toghter in a month or so, i'll post up some pics
