Default what do i need to turbo charge or add nos to my sohc.

i was just wondering what do i need to have in order to turbocharge or add nos to my sohc non vtec, and dont tell me "get a swap, you can do so much with a b or k series blah blah...""
and if anyone has a turbo sohc or sohc on nos, is it worth your money? do you get alot of power out of it?

Searching would answer most, if not all of that.

this is a good thread to look at if you're thinking you want to run some boost. yes its for a b-series but its virtually the same stuff you would need for a d.

https://honda-tech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1263795

also, nos is a brand. nitrous is what you spray into your engine.

you might want to take a mosey through the forced induction faq. lots of good info in there.

Boosting a motor is boosting a motor, You still have to build for it.

Cant just throw some N20 at it and expect it to last very long.

not quite true, a low to moderate boost level with good tuning you really don't need to build for it and it will still last very long.

OP - what hp goal are we talking about here?

i know what you are saying stock motor wont handle nitrous just like that
thats why i asked, what would i need for the engine?
like head work, block work, etc?
and if anyone has sprayed nitrous on their sohc how you do it?
im not asking how to install a nitrous kit, im asking what you do to your engine
i want opinions from someone

i used nitrous on my stock d16y7 for a long time. stock on motor it went 18.09@72mph.lol.
on a dry 50 shot it went 15.6@89
then a 75 wet shot with hollow cat and southbend stage 2 clutch(a must for this big of a shot) 14.7@92mph...2.2 60foot and a best of 2.0 on this shot and street tires.
and finally same as above on 100shot it went 14.2@98mph spinning all of 1st and 2nd-a non preped track with street tires is worse than the street.lol. 2.4 60 foot FTL!
it finally popped after a year of abuse. if you wanna go with a 100shot then you will need a bigger fuel pump. i continued to race my car on the 100 shot even though the stock pump couldnt support it. that plus i missed 3rd and squeezed to the limiter...ending with 2 melted pistons.
oh and i always mixed 110 octane with the pump gas just to assure no detonation along with 5 degrees backed out and the coldest autolite resister plug i could get.
hope this helps.

this is all the trouble i'm going through to make 300 whp. and that's with a 150 shot. so this is kinda what you're looking at if you wanna make 250whp. just less nitrous.
