Has anyone here ever investigated the possibility of using NOS in an Evo? I've got an Evo6 GSR that's just out of factory warranty, so it's time to start doing it up a bit... and NOS seems to be a good option. I mean, it costs less for a full, wet injection NOS installation than it does for just a quality, free-flowing exhaust system... (resulting in a 70-100bhp gain vs. 10-15 for the exhaust) And personally, I like the idea of having the car "standard" for 95% of the time and "brutal" only when I need/want it.

So - anyone done it? Got any suggestions or cautions?
Enquiring minds want to know ;-)

Cheers,
Doc.

 

don't run a nitrous system on the stock exhaust, there's your advice

do the mods right and in order

catbacks cost LESS than a wet nitrous kit, trust me...

I'd get intake, full turboback exhaust, increase the boost to your pumpgas limit; and then decide if you need NITROUS (its NITROUS not NAWS, NOS is a company)

and even then... a nitrous kit costs about $600 total... you can get a upgraded turbocharger for a little more... and it will make the power all day long
or get an upgraded ECU to get rid of the fuel cut problem (prolly need a clutch too)

anyway, i'd stay away from nitrous; its pointless on a stock car when you've got so much easy power to unleash...
now if you had something like a non-turbo car, yeah i'd throw an exhaust on it and put a wet kit on it
turbo cars are different

oh and the hp gain with a full turboback is more like 30hp or so... turbo cars behave differently; ESPECIALLY with this car, it has a pretty large turbo for the size motor it runs (16G turbos are good for low 12s in properly modded AWD DSMs here in the states)

 

I will run N2O (probably nitrous express and not NOS), but as mentioned above, I will have a heck of a lot of other mods too, and will have a full custom fuel system with fuel cell and high pressure pump first.
The N20 will be for coming out of corners at the autocross, when the turbo isnt as effective.

 

A stock Evo VI GSR has a motor that can probably take a 50 or 60 shot of nitrous. If you want to go more, you should build up some of the internals. An Evo VI already hauls, I don't know why you would want to risk engine damage by running nitrous.

 

Tearitup--

N20 not allowed for SCCA autox (solo2)---I don't know about NASA or PCA or BMW clubs. Just so you don't waste your money for an unusable autox mod.

 

Bean, I'm looking to be getting an Lan Evo 7 soon via evolution imports and I pretty much have an Idea for the exhaust system I want. I really want a turbo back exhaust for the Evo7 but I really have no idea who makes them, which ones are good and where to get them. Also, Engine management is up there with this exhaust when I do mod the evo7. Please tell me how I can get these parts for my car to maximize the efficienct of the stock turbo on the evo 7. Thanks

 

Run that new intercooler spray for NoS its like safer or something

 

what the heck is a turbo back?

 

Downpipe and complete exhaust.

 

Turbo elbow too.

Erik

 

thanks guys...hey...who sells turbobacks for the lancer if any and what are their websites? and does that include a hi flow cat?

 

What's up bro, here's a suggestion:

With a turbo, you don't really need Nitrous. The turbo has got enough boost, especially on a stock car. Plus, it's stupid to install nitrous in a car such as the Evo, it's fast enough already. We'll just have to wait and see how powerful the US Evo is. But, unless you are going to be street racing, or be on the track often, than no point in NOS. You can get just as much extra boost getting aftermarket products, such as exhausts, intake, etc. No need to put yourself at even greater risk. If you want better performance, forget NOS. Put your money towards where it should go: engine-mods!

 

that is a good point BUT... I dont have an EVO, I have a U.S. Lancer...and am planning to TC it... is that the same as having an EVO? (in the sense of installing NOS)

 

No man, not at all! The Evo's setup is completely different than that of a US Lancer. The boost from the NOS on a US Lancer would be nothing compared to the boost an Evo would get!

But as for getting your Lancer TC... !

 

newozlancer, when NOS vaporizes, it provides a significant cooling effect on the intake air. When you reduce the intake air temperature you increase the air's density, and this provides even more oxygen inside the cylinder.

The only problem with nitrous oxide is that it is fairly bulky and the engine needs a lot of it. Like any gas it takes up a fair amount of space even when compressed into a liquid. A 5-liter engine running at 4,000 RPM consumes about 10,000 liters of air every minute (compared to about 0.2 liters of gasoline), so it would take a tremendous amount of nitrous oxide to run a car continuously. Therefore a car normally carries only a few minutes of nitrous oxide and the driver uses it very selectively by pushing a button.

In other words, since you are getting a Turbo Charger, be sure that you have a Cool Air Intake, because with just the TC alone, the engine will start to overheat, and your performance will decrease. I wouldn't recommend getting NOS though, especially not on a US Lancer, even a TC one! The boost will provide too much pressure and the car wouldn't be able to handle it! If you want speed, or much better performance, just put your money into engine mods, and not NOS. You'll still get great results with a TC, and a intake, and exhaust, etc. Hope this helps!
