Default i think my friend is going to blow his motor

he has a 98 integra ls automatic with a drag III kit it's pretty quick once it spools, but he wants to put a 75 shot on it to help get off the line quicker cuz of the auto transmission. How long will his motor last. No engine build either

the turbo kit itself would probably ruin the tranny by itself over time. Nitrous is risky in that situation.

I thought Nitrous works better with Auto instead of manual.

No shifting is involve turbo stays spooled all the time I think.

Someone coorect me.

Did he dyno tune it with the nitrous? Just sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.

I'm going to go with the whole thing will blow, motor and tranny, on the third squeeze of nitrous.

First run will be nerve racking and fun.

Second run will be exhilarating and relieving.

Third run will be heartbreaking and destructive.

my friend had his LS bottom fully built by R&D dyno and had his head fully built by portflow he had a jg edlebrock intake manifold and drag 3 turbo kit his torque converter took a **** before we could even turn up the boost i think at 10 psi it broke LS torque converters suck!!!

Why dont you just FLOOR IT and HOLD THE BRAKE at the sametime...most turbo automatics can get a few pounds of boost off the line doing this.
