I think you know my answer without me saying it.

With a wet system, aslong as your fuel system can handle it, you don't need any additional tuning or anything do you? Just simple as hitting the nitrous and the ECU will know what to do?

I had the same kinda question a couple of weeks ago, to get NOS or Water /Meth injection or Aftermarket Cams...

Water / meth injection won for me. But i allready have a big turbo gt3040 with 1.06 rear, so maybe you should get big turbo then NOS later.

Does any one have a dyno graph of a car before and after a nitrous setup, something like a 50 or 100 shot? Just curious to see what the power increase is like throughout the rev range.

100hp gas and 4-deg less timing = 100hp at the tyres more horsepower.

There's a bloke in the UK running an S12 with a single cam CA18 turbo with an 80HP shot of gas.

He runs consistent 12's - with everything pretty much stock.

Imagine a boosted FJ20ET with a 100HP shot.

Might put a few skylines to shame :):P :P

Go with giggle gas buddy... It was a great trade off for me for drag racing. I was running a bone stock rb26 bottom end with a pair of T517Z's at nearly 400rwkw... sans gas. but at the track Í'd hit up a 50hp shot. It was great to launch with!!! It cooled my inlet charge and most of all allowed me to run mid 10's easily with a very streetable/small turbo package. So I had the best of both worlds... small turbo's for corners fun and a very fast straight line car.

It wont happen overnight...but it will happen :)

mmm... it will happen. Staged electronic nitrous controll to "soften" the charge. Low ish boost levels to keep the max cylinder pressures under controll. Individual injection per cly with propper distribution blocks and large duty cycle solinoids. Maybe even a seperate fuel system with methanol???

Could make for an interesting 8 sec lowmount car?

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
