Nos System on my crown vic.?

Question

I have a 2003 ford crown victoria police interceptor. its supercharged with a vortech supercharger. 4.6L V8. Where and what would i have to buy and where would i have to go to get a nitrous oxide (NoS) system installed on it? thanks, Tony

Answer 1

Try summit or jeg's. They have complete wet and dry systems available or try a local speedshop if you need someone to do the install. NOS is a good system as well as compucar. It is fairly easy to install a system if you have some basic skills. Your car sounds like the ultimate sleeper! Good luck with it

Answer 2

If you use an American kit, suggest STRONGLY you double up on the nitrous solenoids (two in series) if you think about using a controller.

NOS / ZEX and the like all basically use industrial solenoids which simply CANNOT handle pulsing without rapid wear (which is whay they sell "seal replacement kits").

If your nitrous solenoid starts to leak when you are parked up then all you lose is your tank of gas. If the solenoid starts leaking while you are driving, guess who starts running lean.

It is the running leans that kills most engines with nitrous, NOT the actual proper use of the kit.

If you are going to use a single shot (no controller) then the cheapo NOS / ZEX solenoids will do the job. If you are going to use a controller, consider using an English pulsoid from Highpower systems, crap name but their pulsoids have a lifetime Guarantee and I have now used mine for over four years without problems - during which I have pumped through around 500 - 600 LBs of gas on 100 - 150 BHP jets.

It sounds like you have a nice setup, please don't knacker it for the sake of a cheapo industrial solenoid with a pretty sticker on it - buy a decent one,.
