Nitrous Or Bigger Turbo ?

[B-Man]

I can't make up my mind ....

Should I get a wet nitrous kit for my FJ20ET S12

or

Should I get a better turbo ?? eh GT 3071

Car has been build for Track, Drift and Drag - a combination of all three.

Current turbo is a hi flow steel wheel Nissan turbo of a VL commodore - high mounted with an external wastegate

Estimated power will be about 230kw at the wheels in current form.

A 3071 should push that up to around the 270 mark

But would love a shot of gas - just because I haven't done it before - seems like a silly reason - but I'm all for trying new things....

whadyareckon ?

New turbo

NOS bottle will cost you more in the long run especially if you start doing circuit laps

I could have sworn I heard someone say T04Z

[B-Man]

Fark me - T04Z would be pretty hard to spool up with my little 2 litre FJ...

If you want to use the car at the odd drag racing meet then going nitrous is unbeatable value in this power range.

Serious power at a very low cost.

i would much rather have a bigger turbo

keeping in mind that nitrous doesnt last for ever

also i would much rather be pulled over and have a bigger turbo then a nitrous bottle in my boot

[B-Man]

The car will only ever be used (driven to and from) the track or circuit.

Considering the Turbo will be about $1500

and Nitrous will be about $750

The turbo won't cut circuit times that much - brakes, suspension and tyres will do that.

The Nitrous could cut second(s) off 1/4 mile times.

Hmmmmmmmm

Do the nitrous Nothing like a shot of gas at the touch of your fingertips

Check with CAMS and the events that you want to enter. I think you will find that most circuits won't allow nitrous.

Nitrous is very hard on gudgeon pins...bigger turbo please.

ive just done the same thing...tossed up between putting a bigger turbo on our set-up and turning on the gas (i already have a kit installed in our car)...i went with a bigger turbo

[Angus Smart]

Surely the little fj will love it!!

[Guilt-Toy]
