RX7withNitrous

Is it possible to have nitrous on an fd. I've have heard many people say the engine would go very quick but is there any way to run it safetly or is it not even worth messing with?

Hey if that big bald guy in that really cool movie can do it, why can't you???
Where there is a will there is a way!!!
Could it be done safely??? Yeah it could, I wouldn't want to run more then a 50-75 hp shot.
Is it worth the trouble? Nope, probably not.
A BPU FD is fast enough as it is, no need for bottle.
Bottles are for babies or drag racers!!!

if you had a non-ricer rx then you wouldn't need a bottle in the back to help you go fast you can beet most cars with a non no2 car with the right mods

RX7withNitrous..

Don't let all these nay Sayers, get to you.
The people who usualy say, Nitrous is for
baby draggers, baby racers and etc. OBVIOUSLY
probably only running 14's in their FD's. and
more than likely Spectators at a Track.

I want more info on running Nitrous in a FD also.
I am sure SOMEONE out there is running Nitrous
and using it Safely..

Funny people think, if you have Nitrous, that you would
use it at every light and etc. Which isn't the case.
It would only be USED incase of Emergency..

My FD is basically BPU'd except for new turbos and portjob, and would like to run Nitrous.

So anyone OUT THERE with Nitrous??Or shall I say.
Scared to USE it.. Please come out with some INFO..

Thanks

MazdaMike

heh by emergency u mean the supra is gaining on u, lol i would use it way to much. dont have that kind of self control, i respect people who do though

The Irony of it all::

Is that alot of us are addicted to our cars
and speed, we spend thousands and thousands
on our cars, and hours on the forum. Alot of us (not
me) are basically at the end of Modding our FD3S's.(if there is such thing). I wonder why some of you enthusiast that have the means to explore the possiblity
of having nitrous. Don't??? It can't be because they
are scared.. wonder who gonna have the *****,
to be the innovator and explore the possibilities of
having a rotory Twinturbo with nitrous that is safe..

I've read about MANY fd's that drag with nitrous. Why don't you just call and talk to Rotary Performance?

If it's something you really want to do, I'm sure they will be more than happy to help you get started.

Dude, don't put NAWZ#)($*(@! in your car. If you do, you'll be assaulted by ninjas on motorcycles. They'll spare your car with uzi's and it'll blow up.

WhtRocket

I would like to know about this too. Some of these guys need to get off the high horse! Are your trying to tell me you don't streetlight dragrace once in a while?!? Yeah, me neither Personally I think it kinda sucks not to be able to outrun a SS with a 100 shot. So WTF is the big fat hairy deal with running nos. Just because it's overhyped in a some cornball move......

Yeah, somebody throw us a bone.

ttb

personally i think NOS is lame on a FD. that's like bonds having to use roids to hit home runs, no juice no game...you dont want your fd to be like that do you?

RX7withNitrous

why can't you be modded like crazy and throw on some nitrous for a lil something extra?

nice analogy......

I am gonna agree with ttb, If your car doesn't run that fast all the time unless its on spray for a short period of time then I don't really think its legitimate or HP. But hey, I am not going to knock anyone that does put it in their FD, thats just my opinion. And if you want to spray in your car than more power to you. Don't let these other people discurage you from doing it. Remember, ITS YOUR CAR NOT THEIRS.

Team503

I hate to say this (I used to be in your camp ROTARYFDTT), but couldn't you say that the FD is nothing without it's turbos, so it's not "legimate" power?

WTF, really, is "legitimate" power? By your definition, only naturally aspirated power is "real" power - no lag, no drawbacks, always there.

Sorry, but there's no such thing as cheating, no such thing as "illegitimate" horsepower, and nothing wrong with nitrous.

It's chemical supercharging. Power is power is power is power, whether it comes from a turbocharged EFI rotary, carbuerated V-8, or a quad-cam flat twelve. It doesn't matter if it comes out of a bottle, from a fan (which is all a turbo or super 'charger is, an overgrown fan), or from a freaking steam engine.

All that matters is when you line up, and the guy next to you is losing until he hits that button, and then he wins, is that HE WON.

Not to be cheesy, but you either win or you don't.

ttb

ask any racer, real racer, doesn't matter if you win by an inch or a mile

it's your car, if you want NOS go for it. but i do think it's not legitmate power, almost "cheating". turbos/supercaharger are part of the car. you don't run out of turbo! NOS is a quick fix, temporary solution. sure, you'll be faster, but only as long as the bottle is filled up.

Team503 I was going to respond but TTB basically did it for me. Turbos/SCs aren't fake HP because they all always there, NOS isn't, its only a temporary thing.

Team503 I agree with what your saying for the most part, it appears as though we have come across the "fake HP, what is and isn't" debate. Everyone will have a different opinion, that is yours, and that is mine.

Team503

Yes, I hated to come close to those lines, but there's only so many ways to say something.

In all seriousness, does it matter? Can you count on someone's bottle to be empty? Not really - you should assume it's full.

If you don't want to run it, hey, that's your car. I will eventually add a small shot (35-50hp) to the FD, but it's low on the list.

Nitrous on a turbocharged engine is a wonderful thing - turbos (especially over 10lbs boost) create a high dynamic compression ratio, and nitrous loves compression.

It not only cools the hell out of your air charge (which in turn keeps the turbo(s) and engine bay cooler), it makes more power.

What could be better.... Except *gasp* propane injection!

WhtRocket

Philosophy 101 aside, I guess nobody know how to do this since all we are getting is a debate.

Still no technical comments.

I guess if anybody knows how, they want to keep temporarily kicking butt on other FD's.

ttb

maybe we can email the producers of the fast and furious

**** it run the nossssssssssss and run it big.

Yeah you do that...

RX7withNitrous

i am doing it ******. Not on a third gen but on my second gen. I was just wondering if there was a way to run it on a third gen i didn't need all this bullshit about, " i think it's ricey" or " that's not true hp" **** that just tell me how and if it is possible without blowing the damn engine.

black99

a.) Could we stop refering to it as "NOOOOOOSSSS" or "NOS", it's Nitrous Oxide or N2O..

b.) Why do I have to be a "f*cker"?? I forgot the childish "I got Naaaaawwss" thing to do is call names when someone tells you you're out of your tree..

c.)Learn something about FD's in general before you go asking about putting N20 on one. You didn't know what a boost pattern/boost cycle was at all yesterday(or why 12-8-15 was focked up boost pattern) and you wouldn't even take the time to read the newbie FD links I provided you with because you said you didn't feel like it and you wanted someone to "simplify". With that kind of an attitude(the lazy, I don't feel like reading and learning myself kind) even if you get a FD it'll last 2 months tops and you'll have the boost set to 20psi because more psi is better right?


You know absolutely nothing about a FD(nor do you care to learn), but you're ready to buy one and have been looking for months and to top that you want to stick nitrous on it. You're head's in the wrong place. I got $50.00 says you either 1.) Wrap the car around a tree or 2.) Blow the motor to smitherines...

WhtRocket

The amazing thing is I guess this question has stumped the forum. NO ONE has provided any info on how to do this. That was the question to being with it remains unanswered. To bad, our Rotory Gods may be mortal after all.

By the way, I've already smashed into a curb and blown two motors so I might just be qualified to ask.
