In a very general sense, turbos and nitrous both add more air and fuel to the engine. And both put a certain amount of stress on the internals that can be measured in psi w/ turbos. So we all seem to agree 8psi is safe for the 5s. But we've seen 12psi, forget who. So what would a 50 or 75 shot translater into as far as strees like psi? Meaning, wouldn't a 75 shot be like running 7psi? (round 9-11 hp per psi, 75 shot equals 75hp) I know my equations are creud, so if anyone can clear up, lemme know.

QUOTE(lagos @ Feb 9, 2005 - 2:57 AM) the problem with nitrous is that most people dont do the mods that are needed to support it. you stock ecu is going to flip out when it gets a 50hp shot out of nowhere. you need bigger injectors, and some type of tuning. turbos are a better idea, because it gives you power that u can feel in daily driving, not just in a single joy ride. [right][snapback]243654[/snapback][/right] I bet my car had fun with its 75-shot. I can't do it anymore though because my clutch is gone. My friend was running a 100-shot on a stock 7a and it held up. He didn't want it too though they were gonna go 7age till that fell through. |
