QUOTE(Charlie Taminian @ Oct 5 2008, 06:57 PM) I'm a calm driver, I maintain my baby very well, I only got this as a piece of mind...do you think I should upgrade my internals or should it be fine if I used it every now and then and very cautiosly??
Any comments will be appreciated! :) [right][snapback]212307[/snapback][/right]
Any nos system is going to put a lot of stress and strain on your engine, which will shorten the life and wear out your internals faster. I think what your biggest prob is gonna be fuel. If you're running 15 lbs right now and you use nos you're gonna run really lean and hot. --> Very bad. If you upgrade your fuel system and keep the boost under 20 you shouldn't have any immediate probs with the nos. Just be gentle on your car.

QUOTE(Charlie Taminian @ Oct 5 2008, 07:14 PM) Thanks man.........by upgrading my fuel system do you mean getting a fuel pressure regulator and injectors...cause I already have an upgraded fuel pump? [right][snapback]212317[/snapback][/right]
What pump? If its a 190 you don't NEED an afpr (i would strongly recommend one tho). yes you would need bigger injectors. Im not very familiar with the nos systems, but you will need something to increase the amount of fuel injected when you hit the nos. (something like that is prolly in a kit).

Well, it is a WET kit, so you may not need to get bigger injectors. The wet system injects gas from one solenoid and the nitris on the other.
HOWEVER bigger injectors are needed if you upgrade your turbo, and a fuel controller and you need to MONITOR AND LOG EVERYTHING! That turbo will put you close to 400 hp, now, your motor can't handle much more than that stock, so if you hit the button, you will blow it.
So unless you build it, a WET kit is a little overkill. Those suckers are good for a couple hundred hp. You can go with a dry kit and you will have up to about 125 hp and you can program your fuel maps to account for it, and they are ALOT easier to install and you will still have your purge to scare off the hondas.
With that said, EVERY SINGLE nitris kit I have ever seen has a little switch that connects to the throttle body. This switch is only activated when you are at WOT. It is NOT safe to run nitris on anything but WOT! and also not safe to run it at any lower than around 3K rpm or above around 6K. That Fast and Furious buttun crap, they put another switch in line with the WOT switch so you have to hit both of them before it activates.
The other system that is gradual is a "progressive" system. It starts out at WOT at a set jet (say 100 hp) then gradually increases to another set jet (say 500), it keeps the rapid strain on the motor to a minimum.
I still don't recommend doing a Nitris and turbo setup. That's two things to tune for and worry about blowing. You should just get a bigger turbo.
