Nos, is it worth it?

[rob_mclav]

hey guys. is it worth puttin a nos kit in my car, id run bout 50hp shot. ive a 1.6 non turbo. its just so i can have a bit of fun with bigger cars ect so i would not use it all the time. does any 1 here use nos? what u think?

you would be better served saving up for a turbo

It's nitrous not nos, nos is a brand.

I'd say do it if your looking to make a little extra power, a 50 shot would probably be pretty good for that little 1.6.. Don't take my word on that though, I don't know the compression or how many miles are on your engine. Nitrous will also give you a little more of that torque your engine is missing.

you can get a used nitro kit pretty cheap. a dry kit is all you need to add some pep. just make sure your motor is in good enough condition to handle it reliably

well said just dont go crazy on it. I would rather use a wet kit than a dry kit

thanks guys. i been looking for kits and a wet nos system looks interestin tho a mate told me my engine would never take it earlier and now my idle is bad after a blast down a back road so i looking into a wee rebuild over hols.

to me i dont think nitrous is worth it. its only limited power and it destroys your engine. i would just get a turbo or supercharger and leave it.

ya i would go turbo...but thats just me...i love having power all the time....not when i push a button lol...

but ya....stock rods can handle around 250hp....if your gonna get a nitrous kit i would get a 100hp shot...maybe even a 150hp shot....f**k the 50hp shot lol...

but a turbo/supercharger is always putting stress on your engine and nitrous only when your spraying?? i am contemplating turbo or nitrous idk im just going by what i hear and it makes sense. but you have to keep refilling the bottle to!?!? idk
