Another N2O thread
I wouldn't do it if it was my car. The risk is very high and I personally don't like nitrous, it's only fast when you spray and you have to constantly refill the bottle among other problems.
He's saying if our Lancers' internals can't handle NOS, then it can't handle a turbo. Has anybody ever blown an engine because of a turbo? If anyone has on this forum, I haven't heard of it...
^Because when people pay the $3/4k for the turbo kit, they're smart enough to put in the right psi spring in the WG, or set the int. WG at a level such as not to over boost.
If you want to see blow engines, coast over the my area...D-series.org or turbod16.net and see how a stock block can be blown easily.

basically stupid people do stupid things. Some happen to be idiots using a turbo, some happen to use N2O.
if you push a turbo to far it will blow your engine. But running it at a reasonable psi you will be fine and make very good gains.
That is definitly not the case with n2o. You are running a big risk no matter what. Its just not worth it. Not worth the money for the small 5 second gain, and no worth the risk to your engine

At the wheels, a lancer with intake, exhaust, pullies, etc. (still n/a) puts down around 100hp. Add a shot of N2O you get a quick maybe 60hp gain. Total of a 160whp until you slow down because if you hammer on the gas again, you are going to be right back at the 100hp range.
If you spent the amount of money to do the kit "right" with the proper N2O on/off tune and everything, your 160whp (guess you can technically call it that) car could have had a turbo attached to it, putting down (like myself) about 215 to the wheels and well the tank doesn't run out
Which brings me to the next thing...
I've looked around and all the threads I've looked at some people say 75 shot is ok and other say 25 shot max. SO Im just wondering who has actually used N2O on a stock engine and how much you sprayed. My 02 OZ is at 91k miles now so I'd feel like Im risking it too much running stock internals but from what I've read some upgraded rods and higher comp pistons will do the trick. Any advise?
Like crypto said if you do blow your engine please come back and tell us what you did so that others may learn from your mistake.
As long as you'll get wet kit, colder spark plugs, emanage to retards the timing, you'll be fine. Nitrous is as dengerous as turbo.
Tuning is the key. You can't just throw in the 50 shot and hope for the best. Again, tuning is the key.
It's funny how people say nitrous will blow your engine and turbo won't. That's bull ****.
People that blew their engines with nitrous is only b/c there was no tuning involved or very bad tuning. For every 50 shot you have to retard the timing 2 degrees.
Go with wet kit. No need for injectors or fuel pump. Do some google on this. There is alot of good info there.
