how much to install? what type of injection?
it seems like over time the nitrious gear, install and refilling it would exqual the FI investment in no time at all.
you would have to run a twin trubo in the 350 wouldnt you? what about a supercharger?

you would have to run a twin trubo in the 350 wouldnt you? what about a supercharger?
With a 75 shot I would be up to about 350 hp from 245 hp. The concensus amoungst those with N2O in the 350z world is that 75-100 shot is pretty safe.
As for forced induction. There are a crap load of kits out there. 3 or 4 twin turbo kits and 3 or 4 single turbo kits.
The one I am looking at is the rear mounted single turbo kit. Yeah, its strange but from an engineering stand point, it really isn't that impractical. It makes about the same HP as a twin turbo kit out of the box.
The Nitrous kit is about 920 dollars and I could do the install.
The turbo kit is around 6000-6500 dollars and it comes with a stand alone EMS that doesn't blow like the greddy or APS crap. I could also do the install. A tuning shop is located about a mile from my house so I could take it there and have it tuned over the phone by an experienced 350z tuner.
The main advantage to the N2O kit being the reliability. I would never have to wory about it fucking up because unless the system is armed...nothing could happen. The turbo kit makes boost around 3000 RPM which wouldn't be hard to stay under...but it would be so tempting to hammer the crap out of the throttle and hold on.

i would avoid nitrous, i think it is too unpredictable (back fires,dry kits like to run lean and such)
i would do a single turbo set up with a intercooler!!!
avoid the rear setup if this is your daily driver, if you get caught in a rain storm you stand a large risk of sucking water into the turbo, then compresing it and forcing it into your motor at high velocity and as you know engines dont like water and neither do turbos!!!
i would do a t3-t4 hybrid the flows about 700cfm @ about 15 to 18 psi with a nice front mount intercooler and alky injection so you can run pump gas.

I was concerned about the whole picking up water in the intake thing but the company that builds the kits has never had a failure like that(that I can find). I searched high and low to find one. Most of their failures were with the oil lines. I am a pro at bending tube and swagelok fittings so I think I can handle that problem. I think if I did sink the intake into the water I would have much bigger problems than my engine hydro-locking at that point!!!twisted wrote:i would avoid nitrous, i think it is too unpredictable (back fires,dry kits like to run lean and such)

The whole turbo assembly sits higher than my stock muffler so if that ever got ripped off, again I would have much bigger problems!
The stock block with stock internals will handle about 10 to 12 psi safely and with a good tune. I will be taking about 7.5 or 8.0 psi.
Really, the install is so easy I could do it in about 2 hours and revert back to stock easily if need be.
The more I read about nitrous oxide the more I dislike the idea. Seems like the domain of the drag racers and ricers.

you can use skateboard berirings.

thats a little too classy for me. I have an old skill saw that is missing a blade. I found it in an abandoned mobile home. I think if I get some ball bearings from the abandoned kia next to it I should be able to rig the skill saw up to a old squirrel cage fan I used to totally fuck up a paint job I did on my sub box.Bfowler wrote:twisted wrote:Ahsmo wrote:I am thinking about doing an eletric supercharger now.

Seriously though, this graph shows a common kit vs the remote mount.
The common kit is on a standard so the numbers are going to be some what higher than the automatic transmission car. Notice the difference in boost pressures. The common kit also is very very unsafe- blowing motors left and right because their tubing blows and never really connects correctly. The rear mount tubing is so simple, a really big ass rock or something would have to rip it off.
Also, my car will have have a better spooling rate by virture of having straight pipes.
STS is the rear mount

STS actually is just up the road from me, about 10 miles or so. Rick used to work for a shop that did the mechanic work on our work trucks. Me and my dad actually drove his first turbo test vehicle. It was a Toyota Tundra, a damn fast Tundra!!!
The only thin I don't like about his set up on a 4x4 is that all of the piping and the turbo sit on the outside of the frame rails. It's just begging to be ripped off by a damn rock or stray tree branch under the vehicle while offroading.
It was damn fast though!!!

N2O is a part time power upgrade. You have to remember to turn it on, open the bottle (and maybe wait for the bottle heater if you have one) before usage. In the mid 90's, my Friend had N20 is his 5.0 Mustang and after 2 years or so it cost him in refills plus purchase price what a supercharger would have cost.
I like turbo personally but every forced induction mod has its place.

I was always wondering if that was a legitimate product, too many try to debunk the claims. I was curious about its real world performance. Ever since TRD stopped producing the supercharger for the Tundra the only other main forced setup was this STS kit. Nice to hear from someone who has taken a drive in a Tundra powered by one. I might have to revisit my thoughts about getting the kit.
