Supercharger + Nitrous = Okay?

geohartanto · 04-30-2011, 01:24 PM

Hey guys,

I just watched Fast Five and the idea of installing a nitrous kit suddenly came back to me hahahaha. I have a Stillen SC kit installed in my Z already, what happens if I add a nitrous kit to it? Will this further wear out the durability of the parts? What is the most common/best nitrous kit for a 370z out there? And how much do you think it will cost to install this in total with like 2 bottles? Is it legal to place the NOS bottle in the boot where people can see it (I live in MA)?

Thanks

Ummm, Wrong car

Yeah, you probably want to stay away from the nitrous. I don't think I have seen but one nitrous setup on the Z and it was a very mild kit. If you want more power then go TT.

The Idea in general is not a bad idea, You can do a progressive shot that will only come on in the lower rpm range to help the bottom end and mid range. This is utilized in big turbo cars to help spool up the turbos and improve the bottom end .

Now, In your set up and with the lack of proper air charge temperature compensation, It is a recipe for disaster and i would not recommend it . That is my opinion.

Hope this helps

Last race I saw with nitrous was Hal with the twin turbo 4th gen maxima back about 5 years ago and he blew his hood off.
