You can't boost your car well for the price of a decent nitrous kit. A $500 of the shelf n2o kit can spray over 100 shot on a simple single fogger set up. 125-150 without much trouble. You getting 150hose out of a homemade turbo kit for $500? Didn't think so.

mike93eh

we're talkin about hondas here not volkswagons.

btw good luck spraying that 150 shot on your stock block.

its considered ricey because people will throw a bottle on and use the excuse " man you wait till i get my bottle filled."

i guess im no better , i say "wait till i put more c16 in."

You're out of your mind. For me nitrous is better than turbo. I only have to tune for WOT and 4500 RPMs to redline. The rest of the time the car drives like stock because for the most part... it is.</TD></TR></TABLE>

my car drives bone stock till 5500 cause thats when the turbo spools , i have no problem daily driving my fully built turbo car.....

LOLOL!!! This is the answer! (I wish I could give you rep points!)

i am not talking about car make, nor am i talking about engine strength. I am adressing the point that nitrous IS in fact cheaper than even a cheap turbo kit. Nice try at changing the subject though.

Remember guys to me nitrous has two catogories. You have the ricers and the real nitrous ballers. The comment as shown...

yeah those type of people are ricers. All they do is slap it on and go race. Then you have your real ballers that do nitrous correctly. Jacob's nitrous mastermind and so on. Yeah it can be cheap power the ricer way but can be very expensive the correct way. I know.......

well to say im not a ricer at all yeah if u seen my car (yeah i got tyc tail lights which were a gift) but other than that my car is stock and just like the other guy said nitrous can be ricey but if used right its perfect. OH AND TO THE SMART*** WHO SAID ITS NOT JDM ARE TURBOS JDM ARE MOST EXHAUST JDM IS UR CAR COMPLETELY JDM. Turbo is a monster but to me if u want some speed without spending almost what u paid for ur car nitrous is great but i do hate people who are like u got nawzzzzz blah blah because just a bottle and gas dont make ur car fast it takes work. Dont some drag cars use nitrous? idk maybe but anyway thanks for all the replies guys and girls keep em comin

What I know about nitrous.

1. It is not very safe, and is about as tunable as an FMU
2. It is expensive to refill the bottle, and on the street you use it up qiuckly
3. When I rode with my friend that had a 75 shot on his prelude SH I quicky was chuckling and had a smile stuck on my face for a few minutes

blah blah blah, not to be an ******* more for fun but you said your not a ricer but you have tyc tail lights (wtf are those by the way) im assuming some sort of clear tail lights or what not, but anyway if they were "just a gift" why did you put them on, and who asked for them as a gift? like i said not to be a dick but that statement dosent work well together. if the light werent ricey you wouldnt have said that.

TO GET TO THE POINT.................. i have HAD nitrous and i HAVE turbo now, turbo is way better for me, its there all the time and actually safer at comparable power outputs, nitrous hits REAL hard REAL fast turbo is more progressive, easing your engine into the power instead of slamming it, try that on your girlfriend see what she likes more.

but anyway the nitrous was very fun and made a lot of power, 220HP and 200TQ. spun real bad and embarrassed many LS1's but in the end i scratched number 4 cylinder wall because of detonation so i went with a new setup to make more power safer. but a 50-60 shot set up right is fun, or more if you aint scared like me.

integra3g

well actually i didnt ask for anything on my car now everything was a christmas gift and was installed while my car was in the shop getting the radiator replaced. The only thing i asked for was a intake didnt say what kind or anything just wanted one and i got that and had to install it myself. but the tails will be coming off whenever i get alittle more body stuff done (oem stuff not aftermarket bodykit) oh yeah i know that was a bad to put those two comments together was just in a rush but yeah the tail are softcore rice lol they actually dont look as bad u would think kinda matches the car alittle

integra3g

oh ps

turbo is way better *everyone knows that* i just wanted to know why nitrous is considered ricey to most people even if it is used right.

Well first of all like my comment earlier about doing the right set-up...There are such things as Nitrous mastermind. It Control the nitrous to eliminate wheel spin. Also a Nitrous mastermind can make your nitrous kick in like a turbo as well. Last thing and not least the Mastermind has safety features like if it even gets close to detonating at all the nitrous will shut off immediately. See doing nitrous the correct is not cheap. I KNOW!!!!

I think this is true but I still love my nitrous....

integra3g

yeah nitrous isnt dangerous if built right i mean people u see tryin to use big shots like more than 70 on stock setups is unsafe

sloweredcivic

i don't think nitrous is ricey at all if you use it now if you just put it in there to act like your badass but to much of bitch to spray then no matter how its installed its ricey

JDMs1eeper

had to delete this, but ill re write

all people who call nitrous "rice" are gay, period.

So do tell anyone that referrs to it as that, please.

Nitrous = Performance mod.

Rice = word that should be banned

People who use Nitrous = Automotibile Enthusiast

People who call Nitrous Rice = Gay, just simple pooh pirot gay

That don't know what there doing YES! But I have to disagree with you... You can set-up a 100 shot direct port from NX and as long as you tune the nitrous to your car you will be fine.

Everyone inthis thread needs to check this thread out....

Well when your talkin about the jet size you have to remember they are an estimated HP depending on bottle Volume, Pressure and Fuel. I used to run 1200psi in the bottle w/ a 75 shot pill for 2 years on a b20b setup. I also sprayed a 100 shot pill for a good 20+ bottles at 1000psi in the bottle.

My friend Uses a 125shot pill w/ 1200psi on his 11:1 CRVtec and has been spraying that for almost 2 years.

Any performance level is as safe as your tune is.

I was running SAFC and 440's w/ Walbro255 , Hes running 650's w/ Walbro255 and Hondata s200

I agree. Wolfsburg, you don't need to explain yourself any further, you are correct and have spoken nothing but reality in general. Im getting tired of people telling others starting from total scratch they can properly go turbo for the less then ~$800 type comment. Seriously, not everyone is lucky enough to come across finds and have the majority of components already. We all know about homemadeturbo.com and what the savy shoppers have come across sometimes.


Seriously I have seen people post stuff like this before, heres a made up example:

"Ok guys I got my setup, here it is

junkyard turbo for $50 because the guy said it might need a rebuild...luckily i have a friend that does this and is gonna hook me up

i found some tubing along side the scrap yard for free.....i also made friends with a guy who said he will cut and bend it for me.

my bud gave me his starion IC for $50 bux

i bought some 450 dsms for $40 bux off ebay

i bought chips, a burner and some zif sockets and stuff for only $80 bux for engine management

I got an old log manifold for $150 off this guy hard up for cash

I found a knock off tial wg on ebay for $100 bux

I had to spend $100 bux on some braided lines, various AN fittings, a bspt adaptor for the pressure outlet, and a fitting for the pan...man that stuff is high priced

I found an old eclipse in the yard with a bov still on it, he only wanted $20 bux

Since I couldn't fit my full size rad with this...i had to buy a half sized radiator for $60 bux out of of the junkyard.

I was told to make sure I had a wideband, a egt guage, an oil pressure guage, a boost guage, and a water temp guage ......but screw that man...all that would run me like $500 bux............so I just got a $25 dollar boost guage from checkers.

Instead of using a vac manifold...I used a crappy brass t fitting for all my vac connections for only $20 bux including all the hoses too.

All the miscellaneous gaskets,seals, and clamps kinda ended up costing a lot at about $60 bux, but hey I ran into this guy today that said he would let me use his chop saw, and welder for free....

So all in all......since I was so lucky to make all these neat friends and I decided to kind of cut some corners, I only spent $755 dollars and some change....and gosh darn is this ghettofabulous or what...this rocks...i take pride in its ghetto style. Hopefully everything works perfectly because if anything goes wrong I probably won't be able to afford a fix.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Thats cool....just don't tell other people they can and or should do the same in place of something professionally engineered or nothing at all.

100 shot on a 99 z28 = the **** my friend had it on his camaro and I was hooked. I then went out and got a kit for my civic.. ran a 70ish shot.. Car was fast but I got rid of it. Its not as safe as a turbo.. By this I mean.. Some stupid ****** ***** your *** end up on your car and makes a spark with that tank(yeah i know it would take a good hit in the *** to do this but there's always a chance)... Good bye. Race wise, I love it. But for a street car turbo.

NITROUS IS NOT FLAMMABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read the label on every N2o bottle for automobiles.


Nitrous becomes extremely flamable when combined with gasoline.
