Road Race Lancer Turbo
Nitrous Oxide doesn't mean blowing yourself up, Sure if it isn't installed properly or the fuel injection isn't enough for the mixture, it can be dangerous. When installed properly with efficient fuel injection, Nitrous works wonders.
P.S. Nitrous bottles will never just blow up, because it is in the liquid form. The only time Nitrous Oxide would explode is when it's in the gas form when the liquid form is being compressed through the Nitrous system.

Hey Rock,
Can this turbo kits use an intercooler?
What is the price of the kit with the intercooler?
What is the difference between an intercooled kit and a non-intercooled turbo kit?
Very Interested.
Also, how is this kit packaged, you can ship it anywhere right?

The kit can be upgraded to fit intercooler later or add another $600 now for intercooled version.

think about it now.. a turbo kit (with the exception of the up/down pipe) is all intake side. all it does is cram more air into the engine, it really doesnt affect the exhaust side of things(with the exception of the up/down pipe). you'll be fine.
I'm pretty certain that something that causes your car to burn more fuel (the turbine) will produce more exhaust. I don't think it'd fail your emissions, but intake side ends up on the exhaust side. The ECU will correct the air/fuel ratio and it could show up in the end...plenty of pun intended. RRM's in CA too though. I don't think it'd pose any serious problems as far as emissions test go, but then again...I don't live in Cali.

Of course I could be wrong, but I don't think your car burns the same amount of fuel when the amount and pressure of the air used in combustion is increased.

This is the line I'm thinking of in particular:
The advantage of compressing the air is that it lets the engine squeeze more air into a cylinder, and more air means that more fuel can be added.

If i remember correctly, you do lose some gas mileage with the turbo, because at the same time more air is being compressed into a cylinder, i believe more fuel is being kicked in to. I just realized i just said the same thing that you quoted, oh well
i guess the best comparison you could do would be a viper, what does it get all of 8mpg?
i dont think there is a coincidence, the more displacement and the more air and fuel you can cram in, will burn more gas and quicker.
