Can you run nitrous with turbo?

Dave Vasser: Both a turbocharger and supercharger can greatly benefit from adding nitrous. The results vary with different applications. Keep in mind that keeping intake air temps down helps aid in detonation.

What's better nitrous or turbo?

If you have a large displacement drag car that operates on staged nitrous oxide induction, you might not want to add a turbo because it won't make much of a difference. Turbos are great if the vehicle is able to suitably control the power of the wheels, drive shaft, tyres and the engine.

Whats better nitrous turbo or supercharger?

This turbo fuel/air mixture converts normally wasted exhaust gas to increase output power resulting in more efficiency. For this reason, both economy and the power of a turbocharged engine are usually better than superchargers.

Can Nos damage your engine?

Will nitrous injection damage my engine? The use of a correctly designed, high quality nitrous oxide system, that is fitted and used correctly within prescribed safe limits, will put your engine at little to no risk of damage.

Can you have both a turbo and supercharger?

Can you use a turbocharger and a supercharger? Yes, using a turbocharger in tandem with a supercharger is very much possible. In fact, racing cars have been using twin-charging (turbocharger+supercharger) to increase the power both at the low RPM band and the high RPM band.

How To Spool A Turbo With Nitrous! Don't Fear The NOS! LOL!

What should you not do with a turbo engine?

How much HP does a turbo add?

A turbocharger works with the exhaust system and can potentially give you gains of 70-150 horsepower.

How long does a 10lb bottle of nitrous last?

A: It depends on bottle capacity and the size of the nitrous shot being used. On the 75hp setting, a 10 lb. bottle will last around 10 quarter mile runs. On the 125hp setting the bottle will last around 6 runs.

Why is nitrous illegal in cars?

It is not illegal to store or transport them in most states, but it is unlawful to use nitrous oxide as an inhalant, and in the case of automotive-grade nitrous, it can be hazardous because of the added sulfur. For track-only vehicles or vehicles driven only on private property, nitrous oxide is legal everywhere.

Which is safer wet or dry nitrous?

Being bit more serious, you can really up the power with a wet kit on your Mustang. However, with a wet nitrous kit, there is more risk of backfire. This is due to the fact fuel vapors can work their way into the intake tract, and if enough is there, they could ignite.

Is nitrous cheaper than turbo?

There's also the initial costs involved. If you have a target of, say, 2,000 horsepower, it is definitely going to be less expensive to get there with a nitrous setup than it would be with turbos.

What octane is nitrous?

Use of a premium type leaded or unleaded fuel of 92, or greater, octane is recommended for most applications. Most Ny-Trex performance systems are designed for use with service station pump gas. However, when higher compression or higher horsepower levels are used, a racing fuel of 100 octane, or more, must be used.

How much faster does NOS make a car go?

We are talking, of course, about installing nitrous oxide—better known as NOS. When NOS is introduced to a combustion chamber, you can instantly stack a staggering amount of horsepower onto your engine. This output increase can range anywhere from 30 to a few hundred additional ponies under the hood.

How much HP does a 100 shot of nitrous add?

Maxwell: A “shot” is typically how much horsepower the nitrous system is adding to the engine. For instance, a “hundred shot” is adding 100 flywheel horsepower on top of what the engine makes normally. The horsepower level of the nitrous kit can is easily changed by swapping out metering jets.

Why do you purge nitrous?

The purpose of a nitrous purge is to ensure that the correct amount of nitrous oxide is delivered the moment the system is activated as nitrous and fuel jets are sized to produce correct air / fuel ratios, and as liquid nitrous is denser than gaseous nitrous, any nitrous vapor in the lines will cause the car to "bog" ...

What states is Nos illegal in?

Many people want to know: is NOS legal in all states? The answer is yes, nitrous oxide (NOS) is legal in all states for medical purposes and for off-road automotive use.

Is selling Nos illegal?

How long will a 100 shot of nitrous last?

The standard rule of thumb is 10 seconds per pound per 100 shot. However, a more realistic expectation is 3-4 GOOD runs on a 10 pound bottle at a 100 shot.....with maybe 3-4 weaker runs after that. If you're "for real" racing..... I'd change it after the second run, no more than the third.

To fill the 10lb bottle its roughly $20-$25 dollars .

How can I add 200 hp to my car?

Is twin-turbo better than single turbo?

A twin-turbo setup also provides for the reduction of the lag. It helps produce power faster using 4 cylinders, while a single turbo requires all 8 cylinders for an optimal boost. This type of engine is excellent for regular driving in a city or a normal regime. Twin-turbo takes care of smooth engine functioning.

At what RPM is turbo activated?

From 1-2,400 rpm, the primary turbocharger is activated; at 2,400-2,800 rpm, the second turbocharger is activated; and beyond 2,800 rpm, both turbochargers function. This system is recommended for diesel engines with displacements of 2.0 liters and above, and V engines.
