I was racing a honda civic,and after I was done my car was fine.I took the interstate home and when I got home the engine was making a ticking sound kinda like when u run a car with no oil,and yea it has oil in it.I have a 55 shot of NAS on it and it was like the 3ed time I used it.I put 93 oct in it and a bottle of that 104 oct booster in it.So I have no Idea what is wrong.Should I put the ZEX plugs in it,or would that make a difference.The car still has all power ,but it knocks like a pice of **it.Any help would be great.It is on a 98 tibby with 80000 miles on it.OH and it does not do it all the time sometimes it does it and some times it dont.STOMPED.........

Ok...

That ticking sound... its normal for nitrous users... the thing that worries me is that youve only used it 3 times

Ok this is what i want you to do...
Check how much oil your car has and report it back here

from the bottom to the top... is it halfway? 3/4?

Then i want you to check each spark plug... and tell me the color of the 2nd and 3rd plug

then report those back over here

Your ok kid... dont worry... i think your just getting the old hyundai nitrous valve crap

IT can be fixed easily... well go check

BTW... what nitrous system do you have?

Damn Jaws, you rock... I was gonna rate you a 5 for that, but I checked and found out I already had

 

LoL!

I know where you're going with this Jawz, but tell me anyway: do nitrous users really have more problems with the HLA's trying to deflate and/or stick?

I'm gonna be unhappy if my $10,000 buildup starts ticking every time I spray one metric ton of nitrous into it. If I'm gonna make Jesus horsepower(TM AD 0001 God Industries) then I don't want the little bastard ticking!



By the way, I'm somewhat considering spraying 200 until I get the turbo strapped on, and then I'll maybe dial back to 150 wink

crazy sonuvab!tch

 

Only a metric ton?

Wimp. Real men use imperial tons! eek!

 

Typical insane Red. eek!

 

I know you have opposed to this before, but yea man... for some weird reason people who spray get this....
I got it, 2unique got it (when he was spraying), brendan got it, and others i forgot about

Since it happen on his 3rd try... that kind of scares me ESPECIALLY on a 55..
It took my tibby 3-5 bottles before it started trippin

I dunno why... maybe its just people passed the 150whp mark, although i havent heard of random getting this problem though, and his engine sucks

That would suck... lol

heres an old thread of complaints

BTW... my car currently has this tick.. my new engine goes in this weekend..

im pretty sure me and random are going to tear up my old engine... just to see what excessive tongue.gif use of nitrous can do + 3 melted plugs

ill check the dam HLAs

 

Maybe this is the reason why I should go to a solid lifter head It won't tick if there's no lifters to collapse hehehe...
