turbo vs nitrous (very upsetting)
 
Just for shits and giggles i hooked up a 75-shot of zex to see what it was like in comparrison to turbo on my car. Now I fully understand that my Y8 was meant to be turbo. The nitrous was great, such a rush, but nothing compared to turbo. Still got beat by my best friends B16A hatch, but only by inches this time. When I put the turbo back on I know I will win by bus lengths. :) Need to find an FMU SOOOOOON! Has anyone else tried nitrous and turbo both at different times and can share views? Just something to talk about...

i have been in cars both with NOS and a turbo. The NOS is fun just for a few secs but with the turbo the power was always there. I rather have the power there always then just a few secs of it.

i had a zex 75 shot on my built d16a6 i loved it i would break em loose in second when i hit it. i sold it in favor of turbo though. nitrous gets expensive when u are trigger happy like me

when you guys ran nitrious, was it full throttle only?

you still have to arm it, but then it only shoots when at WOT.... right?

I thought it had to come on after a certain rpm otherwise it wouldn't be good for the motor. So you would use a throttle activated switch and an rpm switch so it only comes on at WOT and, say 2500 rpm. ???

i don't know about rice burners, but big v8s = shoot nos at full throttle no matter where the rpms are at.
