To NOS or not to NOS

That is the question...

If you feel mods are necessary to handle larger amounts of nitrous, please share.

Also, even if you can mod the engine to 1100awhp & tq, naturally, and you feel that you wouldn't add nitrous on top of that, please share why

NOS for under powered and low budget cars or drag racers.
/example = civics/

A 50 shot wet would be a lot of fun without hurting the reliability as long as you use race gas when doing it. You would see a gain of close to 70 awhp from a 50 shot because of the cooling factor. Anything larger than a 50 shot would be a waste of time on a stock turbo with such a small turbine housing and exhaust wheel.

not so, n2o is an easy power adder when your fuel system is maxed out and doesn't need a custom tune when ran right, not to mention if you have a big turbo it pretty much eliminates lag time.

I'd better go for new fuel system & bigger turbo, I like to have power all the time & not only "when you need it"
That's just my 2c

i can understand that completely, but nitrous is a way cheap power adder which is why it's appealing. me personally i agree, just add more boost, but there are situations where nitrous is VERY helpfull, especially with a big turbo

The way to get around a fuel system and have hp gains that are mind blowing is to use a n2o/propane system. I had one in my viper and I made 906 rwtq with a stock block at a 10.5 afr # on a stock fuel system.


When I modd my x you can rest assured asides from the turbo/engine mods I will be spraying.

The bottles for babies went out the window real quick at the dyno session.

see the dyno

like stated before its for weak underpowered cars. a car like our evos with its power potential doesnt need the bottle. unless you are drag racing and want to run 7's

The only problem with the evo is that getting 30lbs of nos and a propane tank in that little trunk might be an issue.


lol
