nos ? for sr20det

[scott]

im planning on getting an sr20det for my s13 and was wanting to know how safe it would be to run nos if i was boosting the stock t25 turbo around 12 psi. i've heard that its ok to 15 psi. i'm not sure what nos i might get, i have been looking into the venom kits because i like how interactive they are. the things i'm planning on getting for the sr20 is a 4/6 puck clutch, flywheel, driveshaft, boost controller, turbo timer(if needed),short throw shifter, exhaust, intake, cat removed, upgraded fuel pump, and injectors if needed, and i'm sure there are going to be a few other things along the way. but any help or ideas would be very helpful.

its nitrous not nos , and have you ever driven a turbo car??? this isnt the fast and furious, you dont need that shlt to get a turbo car moving in real life!!!!!! buy a FMIC in stead of wasting money on a big blue bottle of crap!!!!!

scott, with all due respect, why nitrous? slw240sx has good point. yay nitrous. woopidy freakin doo! a built sr20, althought possibly pricey will be better spent rather NASSS!

maybe he lookin for extra power on top of what he has at the current moment, for $400 you can't beat the power bump, although i personally would just keep saving for a better setup

i talked to a guy in australia that had a s15. stock turbo, but a 100shot wet kit. puts like 380rwhp. stock injectors too.shaun

i've always heard that in most turbo cars, the nos is used to help reduce turbo lag, giving you the turbo like power all the way through the power band...

That's all fine, but you need A LOT of traction to put that much power down off the line.

Is it true that Nitrous kills the motor, like everytime you shoot some into the engine, because of the increase in temperture and rpms so rapidly its like an instant 1000miles more on the engine? Someone had told me that, just wanted to know how hard it was on your engine wear and tear wise. I would never do it to my motor, I was just curious.

The SR20DET'd RX7 went [email protected] in the 1/4 and with the addition of a 50shot went [email protected] on the next pass. I run a 100shot on my twinturbo 240Z. Zero lag with the nitrous, mucho fun at the drag strip, but not feasible for everyday driving. BTW, this is a bonestock longblock. You should have no problems running a 50shot on pump gas and 12-15psi. I would retard the timing 1-2deg on nitrous just to be safe.

hahahahahahaha, he said Venom nos:rolleyes

he needs :help

Alright, first off. Like the other poster said, its Nitrous. NOS is a brand name. Nitrous Oxide Systems. This is the best place to get info on 240's, but you will have to loose that ricer boy lingo. If it is one thing that will drive everyone off the deep end here it is people using NOS in the manner you did. Nothing personal, just dont do that.

Second, If you are getting an SR20DET Before getting on the squeeze here are a few mods to make. Boost controller, front mount intercooler, full exhaust, and turbo timer. (turbo timer is optional). In my opinion these are the first things I would do. They will help the SR power a good bit. Then the fuel system and a turbo upgrade.

If you want to go with a nitrous system, there is nothing wrong with that in the least. Nitrous is a cheap way of getting extra power out of your car. You dont have to make these mods. That is up to you.

I say do both. Upgrade the SR and get a Nitrous system.

when it comes to nitrous, do it right, if you want it to just take up the lag go with a msd window switch or some other management system there are a bunch to choice from when it comes to that, i just think the biggest mistake is to just slap on a $500 kit, and be like i have a 65-100 shot of nitrous, lets use it, i did that once, 2 days later i had a hole in my piston, while it was fun while it lasted, it didn't last long, but i learned a lot, anyways, nitrous can only be cheap if one you know what you are doing and can do everything yourself or if its a wet setup and not over a 50-shot, anything over that is going to need tuning and a management system of some sort, if you want it done right. Its not worth blowing your engine to make it cheap, do it right the first time and nitrous can be a great thing, its not going to wear your engine more, go with a wet setup, which adds more fuel, and nitrous is basically enriched oxygen so your air fuel ratio is where people usually mess up on, good luck and do it right and study up on it.

i just want to make more good point and clear somthing up!!

a turbo timmer will not give you any better performance ,nor will it give you increased power!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

a turbo timmer will extend the life of your turbo and motor by allowing for proper cool down of the center cartridge of the turbo this is to avoid oil clog ups !!

i'm sorry i havent responded, i was gone for the weekend. yes i know what a turbo timer does i just dont know if it would be needed for a stock sr20det turbo at 12-15 psi. i'm not sure about the venom kit, if anyone has any opinions please let me know. i was only planning on a 50 shot or something close. i dont plan on needing it but i think it would be nice to have. SORRY ABOUT SAYING NOS i didnt really think it would piss anyone off. i know its only a name brand but thats what most people around here call it. i have test driven one turbo charged car. it was totally stock. how noticeable will turbo lag be at 12-15 psi boost. i was wanting about 250-300 rwhp.

[slw240sx]

read some learn about turbos and turbo cars. sounds like you have no clue about them! a turbo timer should even be on factory turbo cars!!! it should be part of the car In my opinion... its like a fan on a radiator you should use it !! doesnt matter apsi or any of that other crap it helps protect all turbos! and you better learn about a cars working and fuel systemns and alot of crap before turning your boost up to 12 punds or else your not goin to have a motor that long... be patient and absorb all the info you can! i still dont know a lot but im learning and reading and taking in all the info i can !!

i have seen a couple prices for venom one was about $600 and the other was like $1200. if its that much i'm definitely not getting venom. i dont plan on getting nitrous right away or maybe not at all. i live in a small town and there arent really a whole lot of people that fix up there cars here. i'm wanting to be the fastest import car uptown, which i hope isnt going to be too hard with boost. we have cars like civics, integra, jetta, eclipse, neon, tibaron, and a couple hondas. most of them only have I/H/E. i think a couple might have nitrous. one of the fastest cars here is a late 90's civic. i've heard it's been heavily modified and has about 220 horsepower, not sure if thats wheel or crank.

Don't you worry about them dude. Just take it easy and take your time building your car. It is better to go slow and do it right than it is to do it fast and blow your motor up.

You don't need nitrous. Spend your money wisely and you will have no problem beating all those hondas, mitsus, vee dubs, etc... It is very hard to be patient, but try it. I promise it will pay off in the end.
