Well by that logic, turbo's only put stress on the motor when your in boost. Evo's were designed to use a turbo. I can't think of any production cars that come stock with No2.

Either way, on a Evo, there's more of a risk using No2, than there is with a turbo.

 

Look all I'm saying, is that on a factory turbocharged car, increasing the size of the turbo is safer than the equivelant power gain from No2.

If you can provide any documented testing that proves otherwise, please show me.

You have to admit, that when it comes to the Evo, 200 additional hp is safer coming from a turbo, than a 200 shot of No2.

 

Why? Properly tuned its the same amount of stress.

 

Nitrous and turbo are both under the category of forced induction. If the engine can take a good amount of boost with turbo then it can accept the same horsepower of nitrous. If you have enough fuel than the motor can take as much nitrous as the pistons and the components can handle as the same with the turbo.. I sprayed on my past 4 turbo cars and I don't see anything wrong with it. alot of Supra's with 800+hp always pair nitrous and turbo.. nitrous is just the extra power adder that helps aid the turbo in spooling. Please don't stereotype nitrous to be more dangerous than any other power adder.. If it's not used correctly then yes, you can hurt the motor, just as well as turbo.

 

Please stop calling nitrous NUMBER 2... Nitrous oxide (or dinitrogen oxide) is N2o....

 

I quoted myself.. Not trying to be a ****, I'm honestly curious, and want to see some proof.

There's other factors here you guys aren't thinking of..

If you injected compressed air, that would be similar to a turbo..

Nitrous backfire's? It happens..

When it comes to the Evo, you have a greater chance of damaging your motor with No2, than you do with a turbo.

 

yeah, number two, as in poo..

that's what I equate nitrous to.

 

Spray all the No2 you want..

When you have some proof, ANY proof, Pm me..

I don't like arguing on the interweb, this isn't worth my time..

 

Do you have any proof otherwise?

 

I know where your coming from

 

Yes kinda dumb arguing on the internet but I just disagree.. Nitrous works like another other forced induction if used right.. It's kinda like if you were to raise boost without tuning.. the same outcome will be, the motor will go.. Nitrous backfire is due to fuel puddling in the intake manifold.. if you spray direct port there is not going to be any nitrous backfire.

 

dont use Nitrous...IMO its better to just upgrade to bigger turbo/intercooler and have the power all the time witout worrying about filling up the bottle

 

What experience with nitrous do you have on a evo?

 

ultimate cc, just let them be..


we'll continue to be the fast ones

 

I'm not saying N2O isn't safe.. if properly tuned..

The issue I'm having is saying that it's just as safe as power coming from a turbo.

Say, you had a 1200whp dsm, no N2O, just turbo. If you removed all the turbo related parts, and had a N/A 4G63. For the sake of round numbers say the motor is then making 150whp. I just cant agree that if you ran a 1050 shot of N2O, tuned for it of course, that it would be just as reliable/safe.
