Lifted from another board:



1: he bought a used NOS kit from ebay, and wanted to run like a 50 shot on his corsica that had an engine swap,
1: well, him and his friend hooked it up and were driving around spraying and s***
1: and they were pissed because they couldn't feel any difference
2:
1: so they re-jetted it for a 75 shot
2: forgot to fill the bottle?
1: nope..listen
1: it gets worse
2: o god
1: it was filled, but it's worse
1:
1: they took the nozzle out to make sure it was spraying , it was
1: so they tried it again with a 75 shot and couldn't tell a difference
1: they were like calling people out to race
1:
2: o s***
1: they went back home and re-jetted for a 100 shot
1: it's still not working..
1: they put the biggest shot(150 shot) that came with the kit, and got the bottle filled again and started spraying it
2: did they up the fuel pressure?
2: or not turn the bottle on?
1: dude...it gets better
2: o man
1:
2: ok
2:
1: he was all happy and proud of that car, they managed to put a OHC engine from a sunfire in it
1: haha
1: anyhow
1: just adding to the retardedness
1:
1: well...they went around spraying the s*** out of that car with like a 150 shot
2: omg
1: ...they still can't feel anything so they are calling up the local hot rod shop(bunch of idiots themslves)
1: ...they can't feel the *hit* of the nitrous
1: well...they end up going on the interstate and get on the onramp at the downtown exit in fairmont
1: they go up that kinda long hill once you get on I79 southbound
2: ya
1: they spray the car for like 1 minute straight
1: with a 150 shot
1: and they hear a "rattle rattle rattle grindddddd" type sound and the car shuts off
2: hahahahah
1: they had the corsica towed back to his house, where they called over a few other people to check it out....
1: one guy(who wasn't a friend) quickly pointed out "WHAT THE ****"
1: dude...listen to this...
1: they(corsica owner and friend) drilled a hole through the cam cover ...they were ****ing spraying alright......spraying the intake cam with a ****ing 150 shot of N20 and it froze the cam and it snapped
1: ROFL
2: lmao

Dan: a computer analogy is basically this: he installed RAM by sticking it in his floppy drive.

...actually, it's more like installing RAM by driving it through the blades of the CPU's HSF in such a way that the fan can't turn.

When you say the cam cover, do you mean the timing cover? I'm thinking that's about the only way they could get to it. No way they drilled through the head, tapped the hole and the compression didn't blow the little nitrous nozzle out of there.

AMC: cam cover=valve cover. They DEFINATELY didn't drill through the head. They probably attached it via a nut.

That sounds like some of the idiots from Fairmont. I live 20 min from there in Morgantown. The kids down there just amaze me sometimes.

They used to hang out at a Hardees just up from I79 all the time on any given night they would be driving in circles around the Hardee or the Middletown Mall parking lot reving thier engines looking for people to race.
Probably the funniest thing I ever saw was the kid in a 90 somthing Civic that had an electric supercharger. Yes I said an Electric Supercharger it was nothing more than a leaf blower assembly with a 12v motor spinning it, hooked between his intake and a K&N air filter. This kid was in Morgantown talking crap about how powerful his car was and got it dyno at a friends shop it was hitting 125hp to the front wheels needless to say we never saw much of him around town.

Oh the valve cover! The cam is underneath the head, who the heck calls it a cam cover? Surprised the cam broke before the valves or a lifter. Impressive!

Hot rod guys refer to N2O as, life on the bottle.

Funny story. Thank goodness they snapped to cam before they could "try" anything else.:D

Jesus...what a couple of space cadets. I'm surprised they didn't blow themselves up with the stuff in the process. :D
