nitrous nozzles ? what type ?

Hey everyone,
simple question , I bought a nitrous kit without nozzles , and I wanna know what nozzles do I use ? Also what type of injection do I use ? Do I inject into the intake ? It's a 10 lb shot.

Please don't take this the wrong way as this is not a personal shot at you. Please, PLEASE go do some more homework through phone calls and technical websites before you actually hook the system up. I know you are trying to get help here and that is cool but you are going to get flamed by people for asking that.

Now saying that, you don't have a 10 lb. shot. You have a 10 lb. bottle. I am assuming that all you have is the bottle and lines. You will need more than this to be safe. You need to account for fuel too. Installing nitrous is far more involved than just plugging in a nozzle into the intake and spraying away. Proper air/fuel ratio is very important. You really should go buy a nitrous computer of some sort. Holley and Jacobs each have one. You also need to figure out how to tap into the fuel system so you can have a "wet shot". The way you are proposing the setup is a "dry shot" and this will probably be fatal to the engine. All nitrous systems inject into the intake somewhere.

I'd go check out some websites such as those of Nitrous Express, Nitrous Oxide Systems (Holley), and Nitrous Warehouse. You really need to know what you need and why it works before you decide to install it and reap the rewards. There are too many people out there without much nitrous knowledge that just install a system and then blow up their cars. Please don't be one of these.

Please don't get mad at me for saying all this. I'm not trying to be an ***. You just need alot more nitrous knowledge before you even think about using it.

I'm just glad you didn't take it wrong. Too many people mess up their cars too often. I just want to see you do the same thing. After you've you've figured out the minimum number of things necessary and have determined a realistic power level, we'll be more than happy to assist you. It honestly would just take too long to explain everything that needs to be done and is just easier to say "do some homework". I hope you do get it working properly one day though!

Here's a easier and safer solution. Take it to a respectable shop that does this and have them install it. Spending 200 bucks for a proper install is a drop in the pot if you blow the engine.

Most of the nitrous manufacturers have an FAQ section that will give you all of the details regarding how nitrous systems operate, the parts necessary, and safety precautions. I am considering designing a system that has it's own stand-alone fuel tank, pump, and safety pressure switch.
