Default Nitrous System in your TC

Since i can't find much about Nitrous in "search" button..so i will start this topic out here....and didn't see much ppl out there talking about nitrous in their TC..just wonder how the nitrous perfoms in TC as i might consider get one in future... First start with the wet or dry systems,,,and how many horse it can put out..1/4 miles times..and the setup on switch n safety...thinking of putting one in as i can get instant horsepower when i want to..and not screwing up my MPG dailly drive when the gas price keep up-rise.. ....commend about this as much as u can...

Not to expeirenced with N20, however, i do know a wet shot system is safter to run then a dry shot system, the ktis come with jets like 15,20,25,150 etc amount of spray to hp ratio you want, like for example a 20 shot would require the 20shot jet


As far as the TC's engine im not sure how much N20 the bottom and top end can safely handle

make sure you double clutch so you don't blow the welds of the intake.

juice aint boost. IMHO, N20 is crap. You could compare it to weight lifting. Juicing your car is like taking steroids to juice your muscle. Quick, cheap, leaves crappy unwanted side effects. Now on the other hand if you take the time to lift properly you get healthier more permanent results and you can have the joy knowing you did something the right way instead of half-assing for a quick way out. Goin turbo takes time and money but the results are much better. Its easier on your engine, you dont hurt you gas mileage as much as you might think (some people even claim very little if any loss, and in some instances your mileage can improve), and who doesnt love the nice big intercooler peaking through your lower front grill, or the PSSHH sound of a BOV.

You dont get any of that with a Walmart F&F Nitrous Racer Kit...

You can juice up your car for several hundred bucks.

Supercharging will cost you atleast 3 grand.

Turbocharging (not a half **** job) will land you around $4,000 - $6,000.

If all you want is that occassional boost in power then a juice kit is fine.

If you get a Zex Kit you should be fine. Those are very safe to run.

You can run into the same problems using a turbo that you can with Nitrous. Its all about how you do it.

The only real drawback is with Nitrous is having to get the bottle filled.

Zex dry kit = $600
Wet kit = $700

A decent turbokit starts at around $3,000.


It seems like I can get around 50 refills and a nitrous kit for the same price as a small turbo kit.

Not to mention when I trade the car in, there won't be any trace of it ever being there, if I routed the wires and hoses right.


Trading in a turbo tC... prepare to lose around $5,000 for your trade. That's if the dealer will even take it.
