well i finially rode in a turbo car the other day it was an 99 civic si he was running 5psi. Now i am getting ready to go 55 shot of juice on my 99 gsr would the 55 shot pull as hard as 5 psi of boost, cuz i've never ridin in a car with nitrous. i just want to kinda get a feeling of what it's like.

 

5 psi is relative. you can't compare a pressure level to a power level

 

ttt

 

From my experience, I was running a dry 70 shot with a NOS system. Then I took that off and got a t3/t4 running 6.5 psi, and it pulled alot harder than the N20.

 

it really depends. i ran 55 shot on my motor before boost. and because it was 55 shot on a stock motor... only intake it didn't pull like 5psi on my turbo. also i've beaten a 7th gen civic with a 50 shot vs me @ 5-6psi. but it's hard to compare especially since nitrous cars benefit a lot from the usual BPU's

 

Just FYI a good equation is for every 1psi of boost you can 10whp and its a 9x out of time 10 result.
mitch

Do you see the guys setups on here with say... an SC61? Making 350+ at like 10 psi? Using your math, a 140whp low compression GSR motor plus 10psi would make 240whp.

It all depends on the size of the turbo, the size of the motor, etc.

yah but it's just a way of estimating... hell my car made about 11-12whp per psi on my setup. stock d16y8 makes ~105whp i made 172whp @ 6psi. it's a good way to guesstimate though

There's a slight difference between a D16 vs. B18c when it comes to output.

 

well that is obvious... but like i said... it's a good way to guesstimate

 

lmao

 

i think the 55shot in a gsr would pull similar to an si with 5psi. Riding in the si it would probably feel like it pulls harder tho.

 

I've sprayed 125 on a D16, and now putting 13 lbs in a B18c, there is no comparison...the n2o has a more linear feel to it, like a traight smooth pull, where as the boost is more sudden, like KABOOM here we go!

 

worst thread ever

 

apples and oranges.

 

who cares which one pulls harder. Nitrous will run out eventually.
