Let me give you the BIGGEST advice anyone on Honda-Tech or in your lifetime can give you.

You seem like a person who doesn't know much about cars or how they work yet, so, stay here on Honda-Tech and read a lot. Search about turbo systems and nitrous, read it over and over again, and learn.

Once you learn how nitrous, turbo systems, camshafts, cylinder heads, compression ratios, intercoolers, air/fuel controllers, fuel pressure regultors, etc...work, then make up your mind.

do a search son there is alot of good information out there that will pretty much answer all of your questions by just reading up on it

Engine management. Engine management. Engine management. Without this, there is no point in doing any of those things to your car. And if you have a limited budget because you are a student, spend it on tools, tune ups, and oil changes. Anything else will be a waste of money because you won't get it running right, and it will most likely destroy your motor. Can you buy an engine swap on a limited budget? Or even a replacement engine?

well thanks for your advice. but i know everythin about cars. i am working on engines as a student. not car engines but small bikes and machines. i had a old car back in my country that i build itup from nothin. it wasnt that high perfprmance but i smoked mustangs with it(not GT). i know about engines. the point is no one answers your question in this web site all you guys do is trying to say that you know so much which is not good

Well, if you know everything about engines, then wtf are you asking us any of that for? Knowing everything, you should know what happens after 30k with a turbo or what happens running a a couple bottles at a 75 shot. It's all setup. But nothing you mentioned said anything about setup, so you sounded like an enormous noob to all things engine.

So why don't you start by telling us your limited budget and your golas for the car. Then we can talk about possiblities and different strategies.

here you go man. i will try to help you some. you dont have to change your cams unless you have a crazy aftermarket cam in your car now. turbos are nice cause you can build a lot of power out of a turboed motor. but you must build the motor to be strong enough to hold the boost first. you can however run low boost and probably be happy with your car but you will have to have a lot of tuning and will still possibly have problems in the future regardless. with nitrous i would stick with like a 50 shot at first and see how you like it. if it isnt enough to get past the V6 mustangs I might bump it to 65 or 75. but you will need some professional tuning done here if you want you car to last a while. nitrous kits are cheap, you can find hardly used ones for $300-$400 bucks, complete. it is up to you, I would start small and just be expecting to break something, cause it will happen eventually. as far as finding the nitrous kit, look around on different car forums/ebay to find a used one.

P.S. V6 mustangs are slow, aim your sights higher, of course GTs are incredibly slow POSs as well, so aim higher than those as well.

Yeah, I'm f'n crazy. I'm crazy enough to go read the FI and tech forums that are also located on this site. A simple search here will give you more than you can read in a day about the things you are asking. Just go search a little. More people are willing to help those who help themselves.
