turbo + nitrous

[93_f22aky]

i have a boosted f22a6 in about a month or so i am getting new pistons, rings and clutch and possably a new cam.

what is the deal with running nitrous witha turbo setup i have a t3/t4 toe4

i was looking at getting like a 50 or 75 shot to make her a lil faster

what kind of plugs would i use i no u need colder plugs but anything else witha turbo setup.

i have also herd ppl just useing nitrous to cool down there turbo but i donno much about nitrous

[93_f22aky]

no one?

idk about the plugs but i would say a 50hp shot and get the pressure switch from NOS that sprays the car until a desirable boost level. if you get forged pistons you dont have to worry too much about hurting them. i would still not do a very big shot with a turbo. i would say you might have to get colder plugs but dont quote me on that part.

[93_f22aky]

kk thats what i was thinking of doing anyhow . helped me feel more confident about my ieads

[T04ECB7]

i have been having some thoughts about doing this also..but a direct port injection system...

[93_f22aky]

yes yes its all in the need for more speed it is never enough

but first come the pistons and sutch then hopfully the nitrous kit will be my xmass gift to myself

[T04ECB7]

there ya go!! What brand are you going to buy??

[93_f22aky]

ummm i was thinking zex or nos more then likely nos

I had a nos wet kit, very nice kit, but it was before I went turbo.

If you plan on running nitrous and boost, be very very careful. You will need colder plugs and generally, for each 50hp shot of nitrous you run, you have to retard the timing a degree or 2, depending on who you ask.

Nitrous is great for spooling a turbo off the line and for eliminating lag, but a good tune with anti-lag can help with this also..

Will you be using the nitrous to spool the turbo or on top end? I would highly recommend getting a nitrous tune in conjunction with the turbo tune, just to be safe. Nitrous and turbo can be mixed, as guys have been doing it for years, but you have to be careful in doing so, as you are going with 2 power adders that have different properties.

I would also look into water methanol injection if I were you.

Finally, a nitrous kit is relatively cheap initially, but as time goes by, filling it up for $4-$5 a lb gets expensive.

All you need to refill there is windshield washer fluid.

[chessboxer]

Yeah, 2 bucks beats 50 bucks.

Also, I don't know what brand of turbo you are running, but if it is an ebay turbo like your WG was, I would higly suggest getting a quality turbo before going with a nitrous kit.

I know you didn't ask, but just thought I'd give you a heads up on that.

[quickangel93]

you could use nitrous off the line to spool up a big turbo. but using it in a race is risking your block.

like chessboxer said. look into water/meth injection. its cheaper than a nitrous kit, works just as good, is more safer, and the only thing you need to pour in it is windsheild washer fluid!

[chessboxer]

Yeah, we have traction issues off the line as is anyways. Unless you're getting some 24" slicks, crazy strong axles, and a traction bar, using it up top would be better anyways. And up top, water meth is a great addition, more boost, more timing, steam cleaned internals!

he could just get a quality rebuild kit.

Hey mike..feel like my long lectures have done ya some good..

U make me proud..haha.

"Steamed cleaned internals" sounds like something id say ha

[chessboxer]

actually, it was!
hahahah!

[93_f22aky]

i am getting a new turbo when i get all my other goodies :tu:

ya i am going to blow like 3k in a week or so. pistons + rings, turbo, wg, clutch and my tune

i am waiting to see how she runs with that stuff for now

Your engine is going to be getting one heck of a beating. It's a good idea and I'd love to see it go through. Hopefully you can R&D everything you need for this project. It's gonna be crazy.:thumbsup:
