N2o Powered NA??

ok,well last night i was listening to my friend talk about riding in a nitrous powered car and he says its actually a fun thing,cuz unfortunately,in the movie fast and furious its actually similar to the boost(he goes to UTI and had a 500hp drag car..so im assuming his scale of n2o is like 200 shots) so ya this got me thinking ,rather than get a turbo 2 engine and throwing it into a s4. i could get a 13b and just bridge port it and get the carbon apex seals and throw a 200 shot in it...now does anyone know if thats even a good idea..or stupd as ****..i dunno,i want to...but most people would call me stupid as hell

i dunno,just wanted to see what people thought and if thare was a better way to get more power(w/o a turbo)

Depends on what you're trying to beat.

Cheaper in the short run, more expensive in the long run. Do it right, and you will be happy.

Go turbo unless you want to have to refill your bottles all the time.

Just what WAY do you want to beat 'common cars', exactly? There are many:

Turbos, nitrous, really far-done NA builds with stripped out interiors. Swaps to 20b or v8s.

Each has their own pros and cons.

That's cool!! You can add a lot of NO2 to an 13b engine, but you will need a better apex seals like atkins or hurley racing. I have 3 friends that run 13b with NO2. One use 250 hp of NO2 in his 13b. The other one use 150hp in his 13b car with Holley carb. and the last one use from 300hp to 400 hp of NO2 in his 13b. The first and the last one use electronic fuel injection. One use the Sakura engine management (www.sakuramotorsports.com)system and the other use Electromotive Tec3 engine management system This are 8 seconds to 10 seconds car in a 1/4 mile.

You can't just slap on a 150 shot on a stock car and expect it to stay together, even on ONE RUN.

Your friend's car built for the NOS?
What did he do to the engine to prep it for NOS?

Can you confirm if it was a 200 shot or even a 150 shot?

really you dont have to upgrade injectors just for the Nitrous (if its a wet kit). Fuel is sprayed in with the N20 at the nosel with a wet kit. If you briged ported your motor you would need bigger injectors but as far as smaller amounts of N20 you can run it on a stock motor (50 HP). But engine managment will be almost reqiured for big shots so you can retard the timing to be safe. An NA motor built up like the guys that run big boost will hold big nitrous just as well. 3mm apex seals being the first step, a MUCH better fuel system as a second, and a drivetrain would be 3rd, engine management 4th those are pretty much the most important things. Nihilanthic made a good point. Do do this to be fast, because there are much easier ways. Do it because you want to... and have fun refilling your bottles very often (depending on how much you run the N20). Not to flame but its NOT NOS. NOS is a brandname (Nitrous Oxide Systems [by Holly]... i think) and a term thought up by the makers of the Fast and the Furious.

Dry systems require you to upgrade the injectors.

Tuning is where its at FCGuy, tuning comes first! You'll blow it all before you get threw your "steps".

I suggest you read:

Http://www.1300cc.com and read the nitrous section.

I was very close to spraying my car, an 88 nonturbo. I went ahead and bought the kit even. Then I realized that the N/A drivetrain is going to bust on me... I'm already putting 160 to the wheels with my mods.

n/a drivetrain will hold fine, not like your launching on N20.. just take it easy and your fine.
Second nitrous is fun to do some nice pulls on straits.. but if you want to be doing 150mph.. and then pull some more.. your going to need one big tank, and alot of fuel.. with some kind of engine manegment... no to mention alot of suspention/tire upgrade, and brakes... those are some high speeds.

Engine build? Stock engine should be fine.. unless its got over 80k on it.. Most drag guys run stock seals.. my buddy runs stock seals on his street port gsl-se motor pushing over 800hp on a T88.

And if your plaining on doing this on the streets... sell your car before you die and worse.. kill someone else for your reckless driving.

If your doing 1/4 drag racing.. turbo would be the best option.. although a n20 sytem would make for a fun time at the strip.. although don't expect your times to drop to much.. you'll get 1/2 -1second if lucky.

Well don't get your hopes up.. you won't be able to hang with the rich bastards... they will just laugh at you for trying.. thats if they deside to play.. I have trouble keeping up with some porsches.. although most bmw are waste of gas.. then again this is nice agrisive street port, 3" turbo back on a 1700lb car.. over 10k into engine/drivetrain work alone.. so don't get your hopes up with amberresing rich bastards.. they will just laugh at you while they rape you a new one.

Have fun with the car, take it to some auto cross events and track days.. learn how to drive. That would be alot more fun then wrecking your car and killing somone..

Well have fun. Stay safe.

I would go with a smaller shot so you don't hurt your engine. Nos is known away to eat away at internals.

Take the time to type properly. Slow down if needed. Use an OS/browser that has a built in spell check.

You can be the smartest person on the planet, ut ifu typ eliek thsi evry1 wl thkn ur an idot.

It's reality. Get used to it.

Back on topic, what kind of budget do you have for this project? A well built turbo setup would be a better option for beating expensive cars - you can use nitrous as well to help spool the turbos & give you the initial kick. There are 3rd gen guys beating Hayabusas on the highway from a roll. They also have massive amounts of money invested in their car, and some of them seem to be rebuilding engines more than driving (600-700 WHP doesn't take much of a glitch to blow the engine).
