NOS and TURBO

Ok we all all know a standard FTO engine can handle NOS and a standard FTO engine can handle a turbo (as long as your name isnt sam). But can a standard engine handle 5psi from the turbo and a shot of nos at the same time??? or is this just pushing the friendship a little to far?

IMO ... It would be too much ...
If you have a turbo, and you run say 10hp shot of NOS ... Doesn't the hp double ??? I was told that once before, but don't really know that much about NOS ...

logically speaking a 50hp shot = 35kW
5psi = 40kW
so logically speaking 35kW shot nos would equal about 4.5psi from a turbo
so the nos when on would put as much stress on the engine as 9.5psi?

Yeah, you can only run small shots on turbos & it has a much bigger effect. The biggest shot guys were running in turbo cars last week at Oran park was a 75hp shot into an R34 with 400kws & forged internals. I run a 100 shot.
Get the turbo setup working reliably then try it.

oh also i think your 210cc injectors might not be up to it...
240cc to be safer...

Redline was running standard imjectors so is wild ride and kermut so i thought 210's would be more than sufficent. Where can i find 240's for under $50

i would say its too much
i was running 125hp shot in my evo but thats with forgies but since then have sold the nos kit for another means of added power.
best thing to do would be to decomp and/or forge and run more boost.

lol... NOS plus turbo = DANGER WILL ROBINSON!
that said my kit should be going in within a few weeks...
but im only getting it because my turbo runs out of puff up high... so need the NOS to fill the gap...
