To Nos Or Not To Nos

[conan7772]

Ok, I feel my GTS-T is feeling a little neglected so I'm considering a 100 hp shot of NOS on demand on WOT.

RB25/30 - GT3076R - Haltech Platinum 2000. 337 rwkw.

Good move ?, or should I save the dollars and wait until my kids pillage it all.

Do you drag race it?

N2o on the street is an instant do not pass go do not collect $200 moment

Ps NOS is a brand

Do it.... but do it properly. Nitrous is wonderful.

Mine is setup to help bring on boost and works well.

[conan7772]

I don't drag it.

I'm hoping for a setup which the Haltech can introduce Nos only in certain gears , revs and at WOT.

But right now my injectors are maxed , my intercooler has 2 1/2 in and out, and I'm running stock manifold.

Will I still get anything more with NOS ?

do it.

As long as your exhuast is up to the extra flow, yes you will see great gains. The stock intake manifold makes it easier to get a more even distrobution from single point of injection.

Your intake pipework etc wont affect the amount of extra power you can gain from nitrous.

The trick is to get the nitrous consistant. To do this you will need a bottle pressure gauge and heater on a pressure switch.

Is the engine still stock internally? If it is, I would suggest no more than 75ph fixed shot or 100hp progressive shot. If it's built, then think 100 fixed and 150 progressive, depending on boost pressure etc.

Oh and FYI- Nitrous is an inert (not activly flamable by itself) gas and won't lift your car 10ft off the ground...

But..........it did on the movie....

Will lift the bonnet and intake manifold 10ft off the ground if it backfires though lol

Put a twin scroll 3788R on it instead!

I dont usually go for performance in limited quantities. Id prefer to know I can hoon interstate if I wanted to LOL

Le mans 24hr of Hoon

So get a G size bottle

Yeah... leanouts/nitrous backfires are pretty spectacular. Only ever seen them on carbied engines though... not saying it can't happen, but I've never heard of a backfire on a FI efi engine (engines that don't mix air and fuel inthe intake manifold 'plennum').

I think it's a great 'power adder'. There is no real trade off for the extra power when you'r not using it. For an extra 100hp of kick, you don't have to use a bigger turbo- more lag, you don't need bigger injectors- fuel economy/tune resolution, your not shifting the power curve up or down- if your using cams/cam gears, there's very minimal down time for install and it dosn't cost a bundle. Not to mention the dyno curve goes straight up at activation- ha ha ha!

Thanks for all that info.

Yep car is built forged bottom end, Poncams, and Plazaman plenum.

Exhaust is stock ex manifold to 3 inch.

Intercooler has 2.5 either side.

3076 is 0.82 Ar, should have gone 1.06.

Running 21 psi now, does have more in it.

it does feel like its choking at high rpm

There was a dyno comp a while ago with a 180sx running nos. The gas was still on when it hit the rev limiter and blew cooler pipes off. lol

I've seen the way you drive, you've got a heavy foot. You'll blow yourself to pieces.

DANGER TO MANIFOLD!!

IMO you only need it to bring on a big turbo. If you want more power add more boost. If you cant because something is maxxed then you dont want to add nitrous to it.

I think mine turned off at about 5000rpm

[NYTSKY]

Exactly where mine will turn off

[WHITER33GTS-T]

Mine matched up perfect to the power curve when it turned off so there was no noticeable drop in power
