Nitrous Options?

From what i've heard, nitrous can do some pretty bad damage to an engine. I have NO experience with rotary engines, let alone anything else, but I plan to have my first car be an 89' TII. What steps need to be taken, and what kind of nitrous kits would you recommend for safe nitrous use (if possible), or should i stay away from it altogether?

it depends on what size shot you have and if you get the fuel pressure riser you should be just fine for small applications. like a 75-100 shot. other than that you need larger injectors.

Actually, you don't need upgarded injectors for nitrous use if you run a wet set-up, which you should always run with a turbo system anyways.

A turbo car should never run nitous without a large user knowledge database. While running the nitrous is not so much the problem, the ratio of exhaust gas products is increased considerably, and immense turbo creep will result. Without fuel (injectors and ECU) compensation for the extra boost, you will kill your engine.

Do a search for "nitrous". Read what scathcart has to say (or just PM him). He seems to be the N2O expert around here.
