1995 Venom 1000 Summary:
Excellent product.However you must make sure that your engine is a high compression(e.g. 9 to 1 or 10 to 1 and above)engine in order to avoid blowing up your engine using the larger nozzles.If you have a lower compression engine, then stick to the smaller orifice nozzles.Not doing so will prove to be catastrophic.The power and torque increase will be quite serious using the larger nozzles.Make sure that your engine is in good condition first.The fuel,ignition and cooling systems,oxygen sensor,map sensor,a clean throttle body, good quality,heat resistant oil,and a high flow(not restrictive)exhaust system are critical for the nitrous system to work well and safely.If you ignore any of them there is a strong chance that you will blow your engine,transmission, or gears.With so many critical connections, dirt in under your hood is not acceptable.Keep it clean. Having said that,the Venom 1000 system will give you the power that you crave.The acceleration is unbelievable.Now I know what the space shuttle crews feel on takeoff.Learning to drive with nitrous is the next step.It's an art that once mastered,there is no going back.Turbos and superchargers don't come even close.The mixture of nitrous oxide and fuel are simply superior in producing power,and that is exactly why it must be understood and respected.If any of you guys or ladies simply slap on a nitrous system and hope for the best, you better have the money for a new engine or transmission.You will need it for sure.If on the other hand you take the time to read the manual,ask questions to technical support and proceed with care, you should have a very enjoyable experience.If in doubt,ask or have a professional explain and or install it for you.I installed the system myself on a Mitsubishi Eclipse non-Turbo,took my time in doing so,did a very clean install and the results are incredible.At the flip of a switch I can turn my car from clark kent into superman.Its the real FAST and FURIOUS,period.All the other modifications that can be done to an engine, only produce low horsepower gains and are usually expensive.Know the limitations of your car and you will be fine,but just like superman,if you don't know what you are doing,are too cocky to admit it,or are simply acting stupid,well, the kryptonite will get you! Strengths:
A very nice and accurate Rich/Lean (Fuel/Air)indicator and activation switch.Nice and safe computer control of the nitrous.Instructions are clear.High quality product.Not complicated,if you have some basic technical knowledge. Weaknesses:
The manual recommends that you install the computer module under the hood.NOT A GOOD IDEA.This is why:The engine will run hotter for sure using nitrous(especially with when using the larger nozzles),therefore any computer components close to the engine will be subjected to more heat.Heat is the enemy of computers.They will not last as long and will be more prone to breaking down.A better and cooler place is in the cabin,somewhere under the dashboard.It is much COOLER there,and the wires in the kit are long enough to reach and make the necessary connections.The lights from the indicator can be annoying and distracting at times, when not using nitrous.Covering it,when not in use, should remedy this.Also more expensive than NOS,Nitrous Express,and ZEX.But then again, remember that in this life, you always get what you pay for!
