B16 turbo ok with N2O?
Hi guys.
I have a b16 turbo at the moment, mapped with Chrome. It's making 304hp at 7psi. It's not forged but is using ARP main and head studs. It's not my daily driver...more of a 1/4 mile project.
I have a NOS wet kit sitting in my shed at the moment and I'm thinking about using it.
I'm used to cars with a turbo (my daily is a skyline) and I'm used to N2O from when I had the kit installed on my EP3 type R but I've never used them together.
I've read a few threads and some people say it's a really bad idea and some people say it will be fine.
What's your opinion?

Ask yourself if this is more of a power issue or just something to try just to try...
Most only use both because they fit a turbo that was too small to begin with in the first place.., or for a drag application (no street) that use a 100+ lbs/min turbo to help "spool it up" at the intake manifold
You're almost to the end point of a stock engine anyway. Retune and increase boost pressure if you want more power.

If you don't care about the motor and just want to make a glory pass then go for it. Otherwise you are already at the limit on turbo alone like Shodan said.

Just turn the boost up if you want more power. But like darkteg already said you are about at the safe power limit for stock Pistons and rods. Many have pushed much more power on a stock block with success, but the risk of damage goes way up especially if you are using 91-93 octane pump gas.
