are you talking about nitrous oxide? or the Holley namebrand NOS? It depends on what shot you are running. They make 25 shots for Quad's, dirtbikes and motor (on)road bikes.

NOS requirements depend on what kind of car/engine you have. For example, if you have a strong or decently strong engine, you can just bolt on a kit without any other mods. In my 5.0L, ive read that you can get a 100 dry shot of NOS without any additional modifications fairly safely. Maybe even push a little more on a stock motor, but the more power you go, the more risk of an explosion. If you have a weak motor, then you could need to do a lot of mods to the engine... im not sure exactly what, i hope that helps a bit.

Like jon_s said, there really is no minimum requirement and in theory you could put it on any combustion engine. There are certainly things you could do to the engine to make it handle the nitrous a lot better though. Adjust compression, stronger rods/pistons, etc. If your planning on putting it on a stock 1.6l, I wouldnt suggest a very high shot, maybe 25-50.

Best thing to do would be to contact a nitrous company such as NOS or Nitrous Express and ask them what kind of set up to use.

But be careful, ive seen bad things happen with an ill-prepared system. If your engine blows up, youve used too much LOL

why the heck does your mom need nitrous oxide!? just save your money and let her be in the comfort of a safe and sound car.

and for input most tuners run 50 shots and drop at 8k rpm. its a higher risk for bigger engines because theirs more rotational mass and more stress on the bottom end of the block. most people who run big time nitrous have heavily stroked and sleeved motors so they can handle it. ive ridden in a few smaller cars with it and its not all the movies proclaim it as.

cars suck.

If you have to ask, you shouldn't be running nitrous. It is really dangerous if you don't know what your doing. Some would argue it is the direct opposite of what you want to do for reliability.

not only is NOS dangerous, its basically like cheating lol. cheating comes at a price, if u get caught, ur f*cked. or in this case, if u don't know wut ur doing, u will make ur engine blow up.

just my $.02 hehe
