nitrous in a 1.6L?

[mazpro]

do you thin'k it's a good Idea to run nitrous on a 1.6? I know this motor is stronger than the 2.0. I am not going to be getting the turbo for some time cause I am going to finish the outside/inside of the car first, but I want a little extra speed.

do you think it's possible to do it safely?

not with stock everything...... u'd need engine managment with injectors to keep up with the demand of nawz

 

[mazpro]

so might as well wait for the turbo?

 

[changedman]

yes, its possible. nitrous is not cheap though- $4.50lb usually or so

you'd want to get a wet kit.

i think nitrous is bad if used as the only power adder. just my .02

so what would you recommend doing with the nitrous?

 

[JCell]

u can use it to cool down the intercooler

 

[changedman]

personally, i'd save the money and put it towards a turbo kit. you'll be well on your way.

Pat is right, to run a correct nitrous set-up your looking to spend close to 1000$. That can make a good dent in a turbo system. Save your money.

yeah cause you would have to invest in the kit, fuel management and a fuel pump to pump more fuel.. then u have to look at changeing ur spark plugs to suit nitrous... so hard to do that... lol.. i would turbo first then get a nitrous kit for the intercooler cooler..

 

[peepsalot]

You should have fuel mangement for nitrous, but the same is true for turbo, so the money for an EMS would technically still be going towards the turbo kit.

 

[mazpro]

damn you win... I'll wait for the HiBoost kit.

 

[JCell]

(yay) i'm still fater

 

[mazpro]

(lol) not for long.. maybe until this time next year.

My 1.6 has a header / CAI / 2.25 exhaust / ngk ignition leads and a 1:1.7 fuel regulator (sitting in the garage)........is that enough to support nitrous?

I would love the hiboost kit but costwise its over $8000 AUD to buy, ship, taxes/customs, then install..... compared to less than $2000 AUD for NO2.
the NO2 kit could simply be removed from the car if I decide to sell it and put it into another vehicle.

Is there any reason a correct mild NO2 setup wouldnt be a good idea because i am seriously considering it...
there seems to be a wave of paranoia around NO2 on P5 & MP3s but is this justified or even tested on the 1.6? any help?
