Hey guys, im a n00b, sorry. I was wondering if anybody is running nitrous in their evos? I have searched only to find nitrous in the n/a lancers. Is it ok to do in a MAF car? Any info would be great.

 

Anyone?

 

Word of advice dont do it just get a upgraded turbo =)

 

alky injection is a great alternative

 

^^ thats true as well

 

yea, make the car an alcoholic, it'll be safer 10 fold than huffing

 

Can alcohol injection really make say a 75 hp difference? That would be great! I was thinking I would get the appropriate mods to get the car in the 330-350 whp range for my daily driving and run mabye a 75 shot at the track. If alcohol injection can make that much of a difference then that is what I would do. Thanks guys for your input

 

do a search on it. it can make some good horsepower. Not necessarily 75hp, but it all depends on the way you set it up. Plus, I think a 75 shot might be a tad too much for stock turbo and whatnot. I would do just a 50 shot if I had nitrous.

(I'm still debating putting the spray on my car vs. alcohol/water injection)

 

I know the EGT's would be high when you try and push say 400 whp through the stock turbo, but it wouldnt be that often. Mabye alcohol AND nitrous haha.

 

Alcool injection itself does not give any gains. It just allows you to advance timing and increase the boost. In other words, you can run a race gas-type tune on pump gas if you have alcohol injection. Talk to Kuba about alky. I think before alky he just had tb exhaust, boost controller, cams, and a reflash and dynoed at 330whp, probably running 20psi or so. After alky and a tune, at 25psi, he dynoed at 380whp. 50whp is a huge gain, probably close to 100hp at the crank. Keep in mind that you're gonna need head studs, and a custom tune to get it setup right. Good luck, bro.

one of my friends was using a 50 shot on his evo for a while. ran a 12.6 in the 1/4 with only 50shot, test pipe, and a boost controller. the cars seem to like it but don't know what the long term effects were though because his car got totalled.

 

alky injection and nitrous injection are not at all similar.

nitrous adds power through additional oxygen and fuel...just like a larger turbo does. Generally higher boost pressure requires more octane just like nitrous oxide does.

alky injection only allows more aggressive tuning through cooling and increased octane, but doesn't make any power gain by itself.

Alky injection is more usefull for running a more aggressive tune on the street everyday when you are limited to pumpgas.

nitrous is more lined up for track use when racegas is available to turn up the power output when you run out of airflow on your current turbo setup.

 

search on here for a few good nitrous threads in the evo engine & drivetrain section.

 

I've had a 100 shot on my evo for about 6 months(and lots of bottle fills). The motors will take it most definately. My egts are 70-80 degrees celceius lower on nitrous. Nitrous also likes to spin the tires hard in 1st and 2nd, which with 30,000 miles of pure abuse on my car I have not yet broken a TC and my tranny shifts perfect. You do not need a custom tune, or stupid vishnu magic pixey dust to run nitrous. Simply run c16 and put a good fuel pump( i run a bosch 044 in the tank ) on it.

 

a 50shot is more than safe on a stock motor.
Just run some C16
and make sure the system is a wet system(nitrous and fuel)
