i was wondering if it is bad to put a 50 shot on STI, i also heard that the turbo doubles the size of the shot, and would you put it in the throttle body, or near the intake. thank you for any info.

 

A 50-75 shot adds more HP then its labeled because it drops the intake charge temp by like 60-70 degrees and actually reduces detonation if tuned correctly. A 50 is actually like adding a 80-100 shot because of the cooling advantage.

I havent installed it on my STI yet but I had a turbo integra that I put a 50 shot on and it ran .7 faster in the 1/4 mile. 12.66 not a bad street car to 11.86 a no joke street car.

Its safe to do because the car has hyperutectic pistons that can withstand the heat.

 

The car will run fine with just a NOS kit, because the NOS sends extra fuel and NOS into the intake tract.

The right way to do it would be to use an engine mgmt to tune a set NOS program.

Gilmore Whoever told you NOS and turbo cars don't work right together has no clue what hes talking about. NOS works better and safer on a turbo car then on a naturally aspirated car. It is dangerous to use with cast (non hyperutectic or non forged) pistons though

 

Dont do it, it isnt smart, or cars injectors/fuel systems cant support nitrous. If you really want to use nitrous, you will need bigger injectors, and a bigger fuel pump...the smart thing to do is a nitrous intercooler sprayer.

 

Wet NOS kits inject nitrous and fuel in metered amounts into the intake tract, the engine management doesnt have to change at all especially with small amounts, if anything gets a little whacky the O2 sensor will correct it anyway. You definatley DON'T need to change your injectors. A fuel pump stronger then stock is needed with over a 100hp shot though.

Slickmister- the performance gains of a 50 shot, are LIKE adding 100hp to your car, it can run a ton more timing cause the intake charge drops up to 70 degrees from the juice. Cold intake charge on a turbo car= more hp and less detonation. With a small shot 50-75 you can run the stock ecu because the NOS solenoids send the right amount of Fuel in with the NOS.

I am not trying to argue with you guys, I do have a TON of experience with building turbo import cars and american cars and running NOS on them. If anyone wants real facts instead of speculation get in touch with me.

So many people have negetive outlooks on NOS and it's really not that bad if ran correctly. Its when its abused like anything else, thats when you get into trouble, just like running 25lbs on your VF39, sure it'll put out the boost but at the expense of something really bad happening.

Let me know if any of you have ????'s or need help.
