View Full Version : Looking to switch from s/c to Nitrous

Just kind of a feeler question being thrown out there.
I've had lots of time with turbos and s/c but have never built or used n2o in any of my cars.
My main reason is for simplicity and that I hardly ever get into boost with my car as it is.
Kinda seems like a waste for the little use the s/c gets.
Any help or ideas out there?
Would really like to build a system that has a progressive controller to limit the launch and initial apply of the n2o to soften the load on the eng.
and thinking of a limit around 100-125hp

First, prgressive controllers are rough on the solenoids.

Second, 100-125 shot is not large enough to use a prgressive controller.

3rd, nitrous cars are not near as much fun as a boosted car IMO

thanks for all the input. I probably need to ride in a juiced car to see if it's really what I want. I really like my s/c but I guess I just wanted to play with something different than I've usually built.
I'd really like to swap the procharger for a p/d blower or turbo setup.

juiced cars only feel good out of the hole. If you are already rolling, it won't feel as good as a boosted car because the power goes down as you go up through the rpm vs a boosted car builds power the more rpm you take it up
