NX LT1 MAF kit

Does anyone know someone with one on a non-ram air car? I am wondering how good they work on a non-ram air car. I really like the kit because it makes it really simple and neat install. I wonder how good of atomization you get. I guess it depends on how big of shot you use. I would only run this kit to 200hp at the max (100 for now). So what do you all think, you think it would work like it's suppose to, or is it to far from the throttle body? I wonder how fine the spray is out of the MAF kit.....i just wouldn't want it to puddle up in the intake, but if i keep the level down i don't think it would. Give me some suggestions on if you think it would be a good kit for my car.

The maff kit is my favorite kit.Its works no different than NXs single nozzle.Its the same thing bassically but a cleaner install.Puddling is not something you need to worry about.The attomization is fine.200 shot no problem.

Re: NX LT1 MAF kit

Dont know anyone that personally runs it. But i dont see how it would be good unless you have a Ram Air LT1. Wouldnt trust the spray making the 90° bend to the Tbody with a stock setup.
This is a quote from another thread. I have seen others say it's a bad idea to run it around the bend. I wish i knew for a fact it would work around that bend. I guess i could relocate the MAF closer to the throttle body.....on ram air cars, how far away is the MAF from the throttle body and is there anything there to protect it from a backfire or such? Maybe i could make my own elbow from a ram air intake and my old intake.

Anyone else have an opinion on this?

Re: NX LT1 MAF kit

The 90 will not matter.The way these things are desighned the nitrous pulvirises the fuel into a particle.The nitrous and fuel will mix together in the air streem.The motor is sucking that air in so fast that the nitrous and fuel inter the motor quickly.The fuel never drops out and puddles.I have customers running this kit on Lt1s.No problem.
Thanks
Dave

Re: NX LT1 MAF kit

That's kindof what i thought. Kindof like a carb, it atomizes in the air stream. Thanks for the info. I needed that encouragement.....maybe now i'll finally get the kit. That had always made me hold back on it. I might be giving you a call in the future when i get the money around since you were so helpful.

Re: NX LT1 MAF kit

If you are worried about the intake elbow, maybe you could get an aftermarket or 1LE elbow. I have a Trickflow elbow and it's so smooth I don't see how it would cause any problems. I too am considering this kit.

Re: NX LT1 MAF kit

If you still have the factory elbow I would atleast get the resonater delete.Thunder carrys it.I think its around 30.00.
If you have any further questions let me know.

Re: NX LT1 MAF kit

Hey Nitro Dave,

What are your thoughts about combining a blower with nitrous?

I was thinking maybe a small 50 shot

Re: NX LT1 MAF kit

Naw I have the 1LE elbow....my other one ripped so i got one from GM parts direct.

What are your thoughts about combining a blower with nitrous?
That's exactly what i will eventually do. That is why i want it in the intake stream. It acts double duty. I have seen some very impressive numbers on blower/nitrous cars. The nitrous lowers intake temp about 70degrees and also add more oxygen with the N20, and with the increase in density with the cooling= you get a lot of O2. I usually see blower cars running small shots of 100-200 that is good to lower intake temp and get a very good gain from the N20 on top of that.

EDS Z28 Are you talking a stock engine though?

Re: NX LT1 MAF kit

How much boost do you run? That would be a good indication of how much more you could push it.

Re: NX LT1 MAF kit

Nitrous and boost love each other... Besides just the power adder, you'll get the "intercooler" effect as well from the nitrous. Perfect example, I've got a buddy that set up a NX nozzle system on a 96 Impalla SS running a vortech @ 14psi.... He runs 100 shot, and has never had a problem. The car has run a best of 11.13 @ 125.46 mph..... His only problem now is shredding 4l60e tranny's in that 4800lb beast..... Here's a vid of him waxin a Z06..

Re: NX LT1 MAF kit

With my current setup at around 10-11 pounds of boost, I am guessing somewhere over 500+rwhp. I dynoed 525 rwhp with the procharger, and it feels a little stronger now with the vortech. Most of the time it depends on the outside temperature and the timing. I noticed when I stepped up the entire timing curve 2 degrees with the smartspark, thing pulls like a mother ****er. It seems to have more midrange torque than the procharger setup, but the procharger had more low end torque. In hot weather, the aftercooler rocks! Big difference over an intercooler IMO.
