Has Anyone ever heard of anyone with a 944 turbo with a single nozzle nitrous fed motor.... and how do these motor's react to the bottle....?
also what are the hp gains on a set up like this.....?

 

I remember seeing a nitrous kit on ebay for a 951, i think it was going for around $700, or he would trade for a good 951 engine block

 

These 2.5L have what seems like a bullet proof bottom end but I'm not sure what else would break.

I do remeber seeing someone on the forum who installed a nitrous system blow the headgasket on his motor, among other things. He probably had 600 HP for 0.01 seconds....so it wasn't all bad!

I've heard of nirtous assisted spooling turbos which may be a great idea seeing as our biggest constraint on these cars is the turbo lagg, especially with the big turbos.

Beyond that, you're better off buying a huge turbo (turbo lagg included) rather than a "NAWWWS" system.

 

 

18 year old+ 400rwhp+nitro 175more hp=me getting rich just took out life insurance on you Hector(HAHA)

Don't forget about the #2 rod bearing.

 

VW/Porsche magazine(now European Car) did an article around 1991 featuring an '86 944 turbo with NOS.
I recall they compared the car's 60-100mph acceleration times to that of an Indy car. Needless to say, it was pretty fast.
I read the article - they didn't mention any issues with running NOS on the car.

I don't know how one would go about digging up that article, but it would be interesting to read again. Btw, I think the car was on the cover.

Good luck,

If i sprayed it in my 150k jetta 1.8 im sure puttin 100hp in your car would be fine.....

Just have to decive if you want a dry or wet system.....

They are both easy to install but you may find you become bottle happy..

 

The Supra guys run n2o all the time.

 

Nitrous is pretty simple really. The difficult part is setting it up so that you don't blow up your engine. As with normal turbo-tuning, you gotta get a safe air-fuel ratio when under boost or when the nawz is on. The newer systems with progressive injection and digital fuel-injection control are like their own standalone EFI systems.

I still have to ask, "why?". You haven't even experienced what 400rwhp/500lb-ft of torque even feels like yet...

 

Danno, Great point, but I think mopre people so far are asking "why not?" haha. I would personally wait for the water injection to become more popular and is far more safe, dont you agree.

 

Yah, a lot of people get caught up in the "more must be better" syndrome. I've seen way too many engines grenaded because of nitrous. It's the same issue as blowing up turbo engines, incorrect air-fuel ratios. Just that you can do is so much quicker and more catastrophicly with nitrous!

Now if you really want to play with nitrous, our Link-2 EFI computer can actually control a nitrous injector. Not just turn it on and off like the simple kits out there, but with full progressive control. You can program in a flow-curve like you would a boost-curve. Then the computer will compute how much fuel would be needed to match the amount of nitrous delivered. It will then increase the injector's duty-cycle to match !!!

We're experimenting with water-injection, more to follow.... <img src="graemlins/xyxwave.gif" border="0" alt="[bigbye]" />

 

I have nitro in my 951. If you want some cold air then it is perfect. Hp gain is about 75hp.

 

Water injection is far more better for the engine. The water injection systems will support you to set up your boost higher. The engine will not run lean when the boost increases a few PSI more as with NOS.

A guy in Sweden used NOS for his original Turbo Cup ( ) I think he run near 11 flat on the strip, the car blew it´s headgasket 4 times last summer, at the end of last summer he smashed the car. When they took the engine apart the components were totally worn out. I would never put a NOS system on the 951.

I recommend the ones that want effect to upgrade the turbo and internals of the engine istead. And if they are not satisfied with the hp gain. Install water injection.

Last solution sell the 951 and buy a NOS equipped Hemi That would do fine

Sounds like a good way to grenade the motor...
