People with NX kits please help

[faithofadragon]

ok i got a kit from here and when i got it there was this bolt stripped onto the back of the nozzle and on the very tip there was threads on it (from top to where it says shark nozzle)

is this normal?

thats a pic of it plus like where the nitrous actually sprays some of the sides have been broken off will this effect performance?

dont use that nozzle get another

well where is says "here is where it is broken" is where the nitrous/fuel mixture sprays out. It is a side firing design. You simply drill, tap, and screw it into your intake or TB or wherever you plan to install it.

the thing is the tip isnt supposed to be threaded and it is plus when they threaded it they broke off peices of the sides of were it sprays

if you dont want to install it the way it was installed on the WRX, check this out....

scroll down to the nitrous express EFI nozzle adapter. http://www.nitrous-express.racenet.net/nx-nozzles.php

i dont know if it will work for sure, because that is an older shark nozzle, but it says "No more silicone, or worrying about nozzle movement in your intake boot. The Nitrous Express EFI nozzle adapter eliminates all problems associated with nozzle placement. "

that would work...

if i can take the bottom screw off of the nozzle i have now but i cant cuz the screw is so stripped it has no thread behind it

I dont understand what you are saying about it being stripped. It didnt come with threads in that section as far as i know. It is an older kit..... I know it doesnt look like the brand new shark nozzles. This is because it is not a brand new shark nozzle. It is a used kit... and you could see in the picture that it was side firing and that threads were on the tip for install. I feel like you are acting as if this is some huge conspiracy with me trying to rip you off or something. Just the fact that you tried to get me to reinburse you for some wire (and a few things that werent pictured and included in the sale) makes me feel like your trying to get one over on me.

Anyway, you do realize you can thread the section that you are wanting to be threaded? I think you are just making this more difficult than it has to be.... There are so many options to make this work. And i'm not talking about setting up this in a insuperior fashion. If you work in a shop with "4 people that have used nitrous(all technicians here at my work)" it is pretty sad that not a single one can realize how to install it. If I lived anywhere close to you I could modify it to your application in a matter of minutes with a max expendature on parts of about $3.

I just started my new job last Thursday so I wont actually have money until i start getting paychecks, but if you are SO unhappy with this sale i will buy it back from you when i get caught up minus shipping. I can easily sell it for a lot more than what you paid for it. I only sold it this cheap because i was desperate for cash so i could pay rent and didnt have time to list it on ebay. The big blue NOS bottles alone are over $150 shipped on ebay, purge is about $100 I mean you got a good deal on all this stuff.. In your WTB post you said you need:

1. nitrous gauge
2. dsm fuel pump
3. bottle heater
4. purge kit
5. spare jets i need ones to run a 50 shot and a 60 shot

Well, in this set up you got a nitrous kit (not on your list), a nitrous gauge (1), a purge kit (4), and spare jets (5). 3/5 things plus a nitrous kit, All for a lot less than JUST the price of the kit itself. I guess i dont get why you are complaining so much. I would be ecstatic to have got that deal. I traded a set of $800 rims/tires for it. Which was a fair trade for how much is included in the kit.

[faithofadragon]

first off im not the one trying to pull one over on you

look at ANY picture of a shark nozzle they do NOT have threads at the tip of the nozzle
ill even post one for you here



plus at the base were there is SUPPOSED to be threads as shown in the pic is a bolt that cannot be removed because it has been stripped

also what i havent told you is that the fuel t that was with the kit was a vaccum tee plus the relay was burnt and i had to buy another one(i ended up buying a complete wire harness which costed me 25) i already told you that the wire i dont care about i was just trying to inform you of that

i am trying to be reasonable the nozzle is fvct and i even offered to split it with you being that i know this is a used kit a new nozzle and adapter sleave costs $80 dweet who has used nitrous on his tiburon saw the pic and said it looked like it was installed wrong

http://www.rdtiburon.com/index.php?n...ewtopic&t=1774

and actually the nitrous kit was on my list...hence why you posted


EDIT: just wanted to add that there is no way i can install it on my car being that i cant tighten it down to my intake tube cuz of the stripped base i can just imagine hitting a bump and spraying my MAF sensor:dead:

oh and i am gettin tired of this he said/she said junk i just sent NX a email with pics of the nozzle to see what they think of it

if they say its ok, ill quit my complainin
