Im running a 100 shot omy my es. i have been using an safc-II to try and make it a bit safer. well, like crack, nitrous is only fun untill you die. now it sounds like a quarter is loose in the engine, rattling around. i havent had a chance to rip apart the block yet, thought anyone else might have any ideas. thanks in advance!

 

bump

 

open it up and find out waht is the problem, hopefully its jsut internals liek pistons or rods taht can be replaced with parts that are stronger than stock. oh and dont ever use nitrous on a lancer again, tehy cant take it.

 

it took it for the longest time. when you say they can't take it; which part of the motor can't take it? pistons, rings, rods crank, what?

 

whoa.. you're taking 3 seconds off your stock et time? damn so what are you in mid 15's?

 

there are some threads here about what nitrous did to their engine, im sure you'll find plenty

 

was in the mid 15's, now in the "not running" category. Ive done searches all over the place around here and all i find are threads like "should i get nitrous" and stuff. the answer to that is yes. it gives you a feeling no turbo can match. ever spun your wheels at 75 mph at full throttle? its the best. my stock e.t. was 18.4, and i ran a 15.8 on a blown clutch. it never really caught the whole way down the track. i think its the pistons by the way, so im gettin some new ones from rrm. and yes, ill still run the 100 shot. if it blows up, Rebuild!

 

do u have a automatic? cuase 18.4 is slow
i ran a 16.9 with my oz...just has headers exhaust and intake!

 

boe blew his pistons (i think that what went) when he was using nitrous. get a turbo it will be cheaper in teh long run after rebuilding your motor several times.

 

Whats the point of NOS on a street car? You can't use it while your just driving around and really unless your a sponsored or a pro racer why spend money and risk a dead engine when you can only use it on the track or drag strip?

 

has anyone ever spun their tires at 75 mph full throttle? no, and i hope they never do, thats ****ing dangerous, stupid, and counter productive. but im glad you can do it tho. congratulations. oh and keep refilling your tank and blowing up your motor, i'll take my "unmatchable" turbo feeling every day of the week tho. just my .02

 

whos stopping hum from using it on the streets? i would put nitrous in my lancer in addition to the turbo if it could handle it but it cant.

 

Well common sense and I'd hope brains would stop him from using it on the streets. When are you gonna encounter a straight away where 1. theres an actual point in cutting your 0-60 and your 1/4 mile down by substantial amounts and 2. its actually safe to do so by means of NOS? I can see getting a turbo cause it doesn't require active, conscious actions to use. You just hit the pedal and wham you have speed. NOS requires you to either use a computer controlled injection system or to have some sort of switch to inject it. I see NOS as something for the pros when they're on the track and actually need that extra little bit of power or for ricers who think they need to race everyone around them and are willing to destroy their engines and potentially kill someone by using NOS to do so. I can't see someone using NOS and obeying the speed limit or rather keeping within a reasonable range of the speed limit.

 

well not everybody thinks about it in the same way as you, and please dont call it "NOS", it is nitrous or nitrous oxide.

 

Well I could write nitrous oxide out everytime but really when I say nos you know what I'm taking about.
