Here is the awaited follow up article on our nitrous kit that we installed in our Solstice

We all want that little edge over the other driver so I called our friends over at Nitrous Express for help. I told them that we have one of GM’s new roadsters the Pontiac Solstice. Our 2006 Solstice is powered by a 2.4L naturally aspirated 2nd generation Ecotec motor. This motor from the factory produces 177Hp or about 150Hp at the rear wheels. Because Nitrous Express is a leader in producing safe, reliable, and affordable nitrous kits, this is why we called them first. After talking with them about the power plant in the car they recommended there Mainline EFI Nitrous System and there Digital TPS (Throttle Position Switch). We also asked for a smaller 5lb nitrous bottle over there standard 10lb bottle due to space constraints.

22 Bucks is more than I pay to fill a 10lb bottle. Sounds a bit steep to me!
While you were there did you mention the GXP or Redline engine? I do not know of anyone who has put nitrous on a turbo Kappa car yet. I know it would not do any good without a mod to the ECU but it would be interesting to have Websters do a ECU mod for the turbo car that is going to use Nitrous.

Actually Nitrous Express does have a wet shot kit specifically designed for turbo applications. It runs on a kind of reverse MAP Sensor, it adds nitrous when boost is low and tapers it off as your boost pressure climbs. It eliminates any turbo lag all together, a very cool kit.

Also you would not need to have your ECM tuned to run a wet shot kit because the kit adds fuel to compensate for the nitrous. If you were going to run a dry shot kit then yes you would need your ECM tuned to add extra fuel by the injectors when the nitrous in engaged.

$22 to fill a 5Lb Bottle here in Phoenix is normal, there are only a handful of places that still have nitrous fill stations due to the ever stricter fire codes here in the valley.

Thanks,

Martin
