gottztagetrice Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 Hello everyone! this might sound crazy and i am not exactly an expert with this engine but what type of internal mods will be needed to hold at least a 50 or 75 shot of nitrous? The last thing i want is a blown engine because i didn't know the limits of this engine. thanks!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravRMK Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 A 50 or 75 shot of nitrous is pretty small. The stock internals are forged parts, except the pistons which are cast. At any rate it will hold up as long as your nitrous/fuel mixture is correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumper Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 It depends on what boost you are running. If you are running stock boost then spend the $800 that a properly setup nitrous kit will run yeah on turbo upgrades and you will get 100hp all the time.

gottztagetrice Posted October 21, 2007 Author Share Posted October 21, 2007 thanks for the info. i run 20 psi with a t3/t04 turbo. my friend is getting rid of his direct port set up and i was hoping i could utilize it on my 280 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
510six Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 Be aware that nitrous on a turbo engine is kind of like 2+2 = 5. The same jetting that produced a 120 wheel horsepower shot on an NA motor produced over 200 wheel horsepower on a turbo motor. My advice would to be very conservative with the jetting and use proper safeguards using nitrous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gottztagetrice Posted October 21, 2007 Author Share Posted October 21, 2007 thanks for the info 510six!! that little tip will probably keep me from hitting a wall when i'm testing out the nitrous after install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stprasinz Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Well I just installed a nitrous kit on my 280zxt. It was a 70 shot (of course wet). I was running 24 pounds till someone broke in my garage and busted my boost controller, now I'm only running 15. Well I installed the 70hp shot and took it out for a spin... Actually to be honest for a first time experience with nitrous it wasn't impressive... The thing is after the shot I did it again.. 2, or 3 times even.... After that I floored it with no nitrous... It had more nuts than before..... I guess it must have knocked out the minute amount of carbon....... and now the nitrous shot does feel like the 70 it should....... long story short nitrous plus turbo equals bad ass good luck also make sure you have the proper level of fuel pressure to run the nitrous(44 psi) I have to wait till my turbo is starting to spool in oreder to keep it from running lean.... keep us posted....
