so im pondering throwing a 35 - 50 shot of nitrous on my 2.3T motor is fresh rebuilt all forged just pondering the idea, I have a nitrous express kit wet shot fogger and a set of 35 hp jets laying around , I know I know just turn up the boost but it would be nice just for that quick snap to get through a muddy spot or up a nasty little hill im running a 87 ranger 87 tc 2.3T 5.0 injectors , front mount intercooler , stock ihi turbo big VAM hense cant really turn up the boost without a different turbo than the ihi, just curious what you guys think on the subject:yahoo::headbang:

Nitrous is a temptation, but it's a motor killer. It doesn't blow away the heat. I wouldn't use it at all.

Unless I was a dentist.

nitrous does loose some heat when it burns it releases nitrogen and helps cool the combustion im thinking about a 35hp shot something small and it will be a wet shot not dry

stock 5.0 injectors are not enough for even a stock 2.3t (19lb vs 30-35lb injectors)

I have ussed a dry shot pre MAF on a turbo LS1 before. Nothing crazy just a small 50 shot as a anti lag tool and my 1.6 60 time reflected it. Nitrous works very well with turbochargers however you may want to invest in a boost sensitive switch that cuts power to the activation switch when boost hits a certain point. At full boost with nitrous your over all compression will be much higher so keep that in mind. if you are running a dry shot the injectors and MAF will need to support the extra load.

This. That 35 shot will be a bit more than a 35 shit due to the charged air. Nitrous is not a motor killer. Tune ups are. Make sure it has enough fuel, and no sense on spraying a whole pass. Shut it down once the car has momentum
