Generic ebay kits?

What's the deal with these? Any good? Anyone actually use one? I was wondering who makes them, and how reliable they were. Tempting to get one...

....not a good idea IMO. If you get any 'no name' parts of off E_bay, try the headers, sub-frame connectors but NOT the nitrous. Its way to easy to blow your engine up if something does wrong.... ;)

I would never do that :no:


and link to one of these auctions?

No name s#it on ebay is a no no (rip off), nitrous oxide kit big no no :death: .

:lol:

Funny how this post appears after the one the that guy was asking about the other day :D ;) :eek:

Well, I saw one on the mustang board but not here. Someone there said he had one and it was working great, and he named some company that it was made by. Hadn't heard of the name, and they weren't one of the major ones by any means. I have decided to pass on that for now. Getting some ET Streets this week instead, figure I need those 1st anyways.

Here is the link to this guys no-name nitrous parts.

I am also seriously contemplating buying his 4150 plate!

Can anyone shed some light on these parts???

His stuff looks legitimate and is priced very nicely!

I would think the solenoids and other nitrous specific parts were built by reputable company but just not sure...

Anyone????

Ok guys, hot off the presses or shall I say Email.

I asked this guy about providing me more info about his nitrous products and here is exactly what he sent me...

"www.coldfusionnitrous.com we sell direct replacement parts for NOS.
everything we sell is made in the U.S.A. not Mexico or any 3rd world country
like NX and NOS. We sell about 600 kits a month and several hundred a month
in the U.K.. Our plates are run on a CNC and we only use the highest quality
6061 billet aluminum material for our plates unlike NOS and NX use CAST
molds. Our plate is exactly the same as a big shot NOS plate except for the
higher quality and lower price. We also sell to Reher-Morrison, Pat Musi,
Tony Christian and many other huge names in drag racing."

So I will probably be using his 400 hp 4150 plate this year.

Hummm, I dont know about that. I have had about 15emails about my zex kit thats on ebay. Half of those people were from the UK. Nearly ALL of them said that nitrous is very rare over there. It is/was so rare apparently that not one of the 5 of the UK people had ever even seen a purge like mine or even knew what a purge kit was. I had to explain it every time to each of them.:eek:

Also, those are some damn famous Racing names he mentions. Ive seen/watched all of them many times on TV. Yet, I have never ever heard of his kits...till now. :rolleyes:

I know someone that purchased this kit and has been very happy with it. Just my .02 cents though. lata

Selling several hundred kits a month to the UK would not be a national epidemic... it could still be considered "rare". And I don't think nitrous is rare in the UK... maybe a little less popular, but not rare. As far as purge kits, you could probably pick 5 random people off this forum that wouldn't really know what a purge kit is.

Pat Musi and Tony Christian are big names... but how often do they talk about where they buy their parts from on TV?... never. And just because someone sponsors them doesn't mean they use their parts either. I've had pit passes in Memphis every year since 1993 and usually try to hang around Pat Musi's area. I've never heard a word about where his nitrous plates comes from.... so why would anyone else.

I have been burned on almost every car part I have ever purchased that was "brand x". I say do it right the first time, even if it means spending a little more money.

Just to clear some thing up.

This company is Cold Fusion Nitrous and they are based out of USA. I can't remember exactly where but all his stuff is made in the USA.

I just bought a new billet fogger plate, lines, solenoid brackets and screws from him for $100. Ya can't beat that! He says it is very comparable to the NOS Big shot fogger plate. We will see I guess! It looks exactly like the NOS plates I have except the sparay bars have alot more holes in them !!! Which is better !

I don't know what you were thinking about my last post, but actually I was trying to back you up. There was sarcasm after the big names like Christian and Musi were mentioned. They could have very well purchased their equipment from Cold Fusion... I wouldn't think Cold Fusion would be saying something like that unless there was at least SOME truth.

Anyway... Good luck with your set-up. Let us know how it goes.
:)

I heare ya and I also agreed with you. Thanks.

I just ordered my Cold Fusion nitrous kit from eBay. I couldnt pass it up. You get a wet kit adjustable from 35-175 HP for 470 shipped to your door. The communication with the seller is excellent and if you look at their website, it doesnt look like just a Ma and Pa N2O setup. They just arent as hyped as NOS or NX. I guess only time will tell. I will post when I get it up and running and let you guys know how it feels and if I have any issues with it.

This guy is a new sponsor over on ls1tech.He will tell you what you want to here in order to sell his product.He is not a very honest person.read through this post.His name is wholesalenitrousmike.

I read LS1 tech frequently and all his post are very arrogant.

Post a reply here after you install your kit and test it out.
I am VERY interested in your opinion on the kit. Install, operation and performance gain.....etc

I will (hopefully) be installing my nitrous kit next month and it contains his billit fogger plate! I will also post up my opinion of the plate...

I checked out that thread and YES he does come across as a sales guy. But he didn't sound rude or belittling. I suggest you buy one of his kits and test it side by side against a comparable kit that you would sell. THEN post up the results. The test results will speak for themselves.

And that thread sure did have alot of people chime in that were not happy with their kits for whatever reason. I actually thought people were bashing NX products...

:confused: :confused:

Yes I have been following that thread.Alot of people are having problems with the NXL kit.The biggest problem is with the jetting.As for buying one of his kits Ill pass.Ill stick with a company that I know is going to be around when I need something warranted.You get what you payed for.Besides Dave sold me my firts kit for 525.00 and it was a NX kit.It is deffintly better quality.I have been happy.I just thought I would share what I have seen on the other board.Hope I didnt offend anyone.

nx makes good ****. i have a problem with the nozzles being before the tb. with an open air plenum, the best way to get an even flow of n2o to each cylinder is with a plate.

Not on a LS1 or LT1.I feel that the 2 front intake runners are two close.If the plate is not built properly it will not distribute the nitrous to each cylinder properly.With the nozzle before the throttle body It has plenty of time to mix with the air flow,attomizing properly.
Dave

hey, i just bought a relay from you, got here yesterday, thanks for the help. with the nx setup ive witnessed a few people that have had the 1st 4 cylinders running the main load of the n2o, and the rear cylinders getting near to nothing. seen a couple of things with TNT where all cyilinders were even. This was from a friends car who started out with NX, then took the top end to see what was going on, switched to TNT, and checked again.

Thanks you for your order.However as far as the NX only hitting the first 4 cylinders that sound crazy.We do alot of inhouse testing here and both NX and TNT are great companys as far as the distrubution biend different I can see it.I have had grreat luck with both nozzles.
Dave

couldnt tell you. maybe it was the way he had the nozzle pointed. there are a lot of factors.

while we are here, the 15515 relay will connect power to pin 87 when there is a solid ground to pin 85 right? I was wondering if the ground connection from the new style nx maximizer (500 mili amp) would be enough to trigger the relay.

I bought all kinds of N20 stuff off EBay. Solenoids, line, nozzles, you name it. The only thing I'm really careful about is bottles. I know two guys who bought bottles that had no siphon tube in them. :confused: Ask questions and if you ever get a "don't know" or "not sure about that", run away.
