Is nitrous any good with turbo?

and if I'm not mistaken, isn't the power rating for nitrous on a turbo double? so say a 50shot is actually worth 100? or am I mistaken, I thought that the power created on the turbo over NA was exponential or some s*** like that, I dunno, I hate math, and it had something to do with math...lol
No, You are adding a set amount of fuel and air to the system. It will give 50 more at 0 or 50 more at 30 Psi...

It isn't going to guarantee a "double" increase in power, but it is going to cool intake temps making the boost that is already there more effective, on top of adding the power of using nitrous. I was about to order some bigger injectors and a 50 shot on my supercharged civic just for the cooler intake temps!

It wouldn't suprize me if nitrous made more power than it was pilled for on a boosted car.

pretty much anyone with FI and nitrous that hits a dyno would disagree :D
 
nitrous loves high compression, high boost loves lower compression. Your SAFEST bet on a turbo car with nitrous is to use it as an intercooler sprayer. Think of it like this, for every 10 degrees you cool the air coming into the motor, you gain 1% more power. SO, since nitrous is about -340degrees comin outta the bottle and hitting your intercooler, you'll get some nice gains. You never wanna spray nitrous below 2500rpms into the motor. So unless you are using a T78 or 88 where n2o can be injected into the turbo itself to help spool that monster, you won't need it.

What rpms do you launch at??? If you are holding the revs at 3K before you run, don't you think you are producing some exhaust?? Don't you think you are SPOOLING your turbo? Please god don't use the spray to spool up to 3K on a smaller turbo, you'll be a statistic very shortly.

Tuning a motor for nitrous is much more of a pain in the ass than most people think. In order to properly tune a motor for n2o, the bottle must be at the exact same pressure for EVERY dyno run. That is a pain in the arse fellas.

The biggest concern with nitrous is having a cold enough plug, good enough spark and plenty of fuel. If you lean out the motor when you spray, then the chances of doin that again with that motor will be slim. I've seen wet kits being used and the fuel nozzle clog on the kit when the guy sprayed. It's ugly.

Do it smart and you'll be safe.
 
FC3s Boy- isn't it awesome to see cars come to life when that big of a turbo spools up!! My buddy has one on his Civic. Its crazy!
