Find Easy Power For Your Ford Mustang With Nitrous
Are you looking for quick and easy mods that will give you big results? If so, you can find easy horsepower for your Ford Mustang with nitrous. While nitrous oxide sounds like some magical, mystical power adder, it’s really not that complicated. Nitrous oxide allows you to add extra oxygen to the combustion process, and when matched with the correct amount of fuel, big power results. BrothersPerformance.com offers a wide range of nitrous kits, along with all the hardware needed if you’re looking to accessorize or grow your system. To prove our point, we recently installed an affordable kit from ZEX (Part Number 82023) on a mildly modified 1998 SVT Cobra. This kit installed in a few hours and is priced right around $599.99.
Nitrous Oxide (N2O) is stored in a nitrous bottle, which can be mounted easily in the trunk of a vehicle. Lines are run under the car, from the tank to a solenoid that’s mounted under the hood. The solenoid connects to the engine’s induction system and feeds the juice to the engine. There are a handful of nitrous system designs, from basic kits to multi-stage systems used for racing. Common terms you’ll hear are “Wet” and “Dry” systems.
A Dry system simply sprays nitrous only, a “Wet” system supplys nitrous and additional fuel to the engine. In addition, nitrous can be injected into the engine either before the throttle body (or just under the carburetor), or directly in the individual runners in the intake manifold (direct-port nitrous injection). The type of kit you select depends on the horsepower level you're trying to reach. In fact, some systems can be completely hidden, while others are the show-piece of the induction system.
The Zex kit, seen in the video, is a universal wet system designed to fit any 1986 to 2004 V8 Mustang. There is one nitrous line feeding the nitrous nozzle, and a single fuel line that connects between the nozzle and the fuel rail. Having the ability to tap into the fuel rail (using the Schrader valve) makes things quick and easy (especially considering all the lines and fittings are included in the kit). This kit designed to increase output on most EFI Mustangs by 75 – 125 horsepower. Brothers Performance does offer higher-performance kits from Zex and many other manufacturers. And we offer nitrous bottle filling at our location in Deland, Florida.
Another benefit of the ZEX kit is the unique Nitrous Management Unit, which contains and controls the nitrous solenoid. It uses a TPS (throttle position sensor) signal for activation, plus, the kit contains everything you’ll need, including an assortment of jets for tuning.
Now check out the video, and see how much power this 1998 SVT Cobra picked up with a simple nitrous install. And be sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel, and follow us on Instagram and twitter @brothersperformance.
