I have heard a lot of people on here say that the only hope for a D17 is to turbo it. Well thats alot of money for a $500 engine. In my opinion nitrous should work as well if not better then a turbo. Also, it wont be constantly breaking down your engine. I have a wet nitrous kit and very soon it will be installed. Its going to be a safe 40 shot. I just wanted to hear anyone opinions on the d17+N20 combination, preferably people who have done it. How much can it handle, etc...

 

Go find a nitrous motor, look in the cylinders and tell me again that nitrous doesnt trash motors. Its an oxidizer, it causes a lot of damage in there, especially with cast internals.

No one bothers with nitrous because its good for a minute and then you have to go refill the bottle. Turbos dont need refils.

 

awesome..... anyone else

 

a 40 shot = maybe 4-5psi?

If u want to keep up with a 8-10 psi turbo'd motor, u will need to rock the 75 shot, which will cause damage in the long run.

But i agree with nitrous being a decent alternative. Its cheap, and can provide good results.

It works fine as long as u have a back up of $$ for bottle fills, and eventually an engine/tranny replacement

 

I went a about half a year on a 75shot, best time was a 14.2, still needed to work on a couple things but gave up after someone broke into the car and stole the bottle. anyways nitrous isnt all that bad, but be prepared for the refill fees.

 

dang man that sucks your bottle got stolen...

 

how much is a refill also you dont run it 24/7 so i guess its acording to ho much you use it

 

Generally, a 10 pound bottle runs about 45-60 bucks.... depends on where you go.
