i think i only want to do a 50 shot in mine! yea and mine is a automatic. the kit comes with different selinoids.

 

Man, I really have to update my cardomain page. There is so much more that I've done that isn't on there.....Anyhoooo.....Here is the grille I've got on right now.....or check out this thread and scroll to the bottom of the page.....https://www.chevyhhr.net/forums/appearance-modifications-discussions-6/bob-got-new-grill-8931/




The bottle is located in the trunk.....




and just in case you can't figure it out.....The name plate says it all..

 

If the dealer is suspicious they will have an oil analysis performed which would show nitrous use.

 

Just to clarify things. Nitrious (Nitrous Oxide) a gas. NOS (Nitrous Oxide Systems) is a brand name. It's a company that create systems to spray the nitrous oxide.

 

and NOS is NOT pronounced "naws" like in the Fast and Furious movies!!!

 

You're right, it's pronounced "N-O-S".

 

Let me just ask, well because people always want to go there...
If you knowingly alter your ride, N-O-S, suspension, stereo system, body parts, etc... why are you (not directed at anyone specific) always planning to try and deceive the dealer/repairman with the notion that you can put things back in place long/well enough, not to show that you did something that finally caused a problem and you don`t want to be held accountable, it was just a flaw or normal wear and tear???
Just wondering, maybe someone would like to reply with a straight answer.
When I do something, I always weigh the two sides, can I afford to suffer the consequences if it back fires, and is it worth the effort.

 

Because not all aftermarket accessories or performance upgrades are the cause of the resulting problem. If you're running nitrous on your HHR and your alternator goes out under warranty then why risk the dealer giving you crap about it? Just remove the nitrous setup and be free from haggle. If you put something like a CGS intake on your HHR and your transmission goes out then once again. The intake did not cause the problem but a dealership will ask the car put back to stock to help diagnose the problem. Why waste the time? Just put the stock unit back on and go your merry way. Not all aftermarket upgrades are the problem but the dealerships will hassle you for ANYTHING not stock on your vehicle. I for one have never removed anything from my HHR before going into service because I know nothing I have done with my HHR would cause a problem. However nitrous is another issue altogether.

 

But if you blow up the engine or have a mechanical failure in the internals, they may well investigate. Or if the transmission fails and they see evidence of it being torque related.

The 4T45E automatic transaxle code # MN5 (what is in the 2.2 and 2.4 HHR's) is only rated for 205 lb-ft max engine torque. It would be easy to exceed that torque on nitrous and damage a stock transaxle. If the dealer takes it apart and sees a failure attributable to over-torque, you can bet they're going to do an oil analysis on the engine looking for evidence of NOS usage and they would be well within their rights to do so. Therefore, one should consider having the transaxle strengthened beyond stock prior to installing a mod like NOS.

 

there are TONS of people running 65 shot nitrous setups on STOCK drivetrain and have never had a problem. The ATX may be one thing but the axles? Please! Unless you're running incredibly sticky slicks at a perfectly prepped track... there is NO way you can blow an axle on the newer ECOtecs. Try some research over on CobaltSS.net... you'd be amazed. I had my trans shift plate crack completely in HALF and all I have is bolt on stuff. A REAL COLD air intake and manifold-exhaust.. Only thing I did was swap my 20's off and put the stocks back on. I'm almost out of my warranty so I just dont worry about it anymore. People that run Nitrous or SC/TC their engines from the factory have absolutely NO disregard for their warranty's.

If he wants to run nitrous let him.

We had a late 90's Dodge Neon ACR that ran a 125 shot all day every weekend. On the strip and on the street. He had an Iceman Intake and that was it. He busted axles all the time with the slicks at the track. NEVER had a prob on the street. We would remove the Nitrous setup and NEVER had a prob with the dealer replacing axles on the Neon. So, you're explanation of a dealer chemically testing the oil for nitrous is completely out of left field. Sorry there bud. But if that happened to me I would be buying a lottery ticket. Cause the chances of that happening are one in a million.
