NOS in a 07 Rx8

So i'm thinking about putting a dry shot of NOS in my 07' Rx8. Any thoughts or has anyone done it out there?

Use the search function to find all threads started by Charles R. Hill. He is the person that seems to have had the most success with nos.

305WANKEL, I read from another thread that you are only supposed to use OEM spark plugs.

the RX8 has a returnless fuel system and thus no fuel pressure regulator and also no easy way to jack up your fuel system pressure to increase fuel flow along with nitrous flow. If you are deadset on doing a dry shot, you will need to use the GReddy Emanage Ulimate piggyback to control extra fuel flow to support the nitrous shot.

And please read Charles R Hill's stickies and all his info about nitrous setups and how he does his thing- he has his car running excellent under spray.

I don't know of too many people using N.O.S. (which stands for Nitrous Oxide Systems, not just another replacement word for nitrous), most are using Zex kits, like the 82021.

Does anybody know what NOS kit has the same pieces as the Zex 82021 kit? Plan on doing a wet shot in some time... The NOS bottle's look like jokes too me, that's why I want one of those little blue bottles in my trunk.

I don't know of any that function similar to the Zex 82021. The beauty of the Zex kit is it has all it's fuel and nitrous control solnoids hidden inside a central control box so it makes installation clean and a snap.

The blue bottle is NOS. NOS has blue bottles, Nitrous Express (NX) has white bottles, and Zex has Purple bottles (the 82021P comes with a beautiful polished stainless bottle). Edlebrock also makes a nitrous kit with a steel-looking bottle. Of course, painting the bottles isn't a major task, so if you just want a different color, you can always paint it
