Ok, I feel my GTS-T is feeling a little neglected so I'm considering a 100 hp shot of NOS on demand on WOT.

RB25/30 - GT3076R - Haltech Platinum 2000. 337 rwkw.

Good move ?, or should I save the dollars and wait until my kids pillage it all.

I don't drag it.

I'm hoping for a setup which the Haltech can introduce Nos only in certain gears , revs and at WOT.

But right now my injectors are maxed , my intercooler has 2 1/2 in and out, and I'm running stock manifold.

Will I still get anything more with NOS ?

As long as your exhuast is up to the extra flow, yes you will see great gains. The stock intake manifold makes it easier to get a more even distrobution from single point of injection.

Your intake pipework etc wont affect the amount of extra power you can gain from nitrous.

The trick is to get the nitrous consistant. To do this you will need a bottle pressure gauge and heater on a pressure switch.

Is the engine still stock internally? If it is, I would suggest no more than 75ph fixed shot or 100hp progressive shot. If it's built, then think 100 fixed and 150 progressive, depending on boost pressure etc.

Put a twin scroll 3788R on it instead!

I dont usually go for performance in limited quantities. Id prefer to know I can hoon interstate if I wanted to LOL

Le mans 24hr of Hoon

So get a G size bottle :woot:

Will lift the bonnet and intake manifold 10ft off the ground if it backfires though lol

Yeah... leanouts/nitrous backfires are pretty spectacular. Only ever seen them on carbied engines though... not saying it can't happen, but I've never heard of a backfire on a FI efi engine (engines that don't mix air and fuel inthe intake manifold 'plennum').

I think it's a great 'power adder'. There is no real trade off for the extra power when you'r not using it. For an extra 100hp of kick, you don't have to use a bigger turbo- more lag, you don't need bigger injectors- fuel economy/tune resolution, your not shifting the power curve up or down- if your using cams/cam gears, there's very minimal down time for install and it dosn't cost a bundle. Not to mention the dyno curve goes straight up at activation- ha ha ha!

Thanks for all that info.

Yep car is built forged bottom end, Poncams, and Plazaman plenum.

Exhaust is stock ex manifold to 3 inch.

Intercooler has 2.5 either side.

3076 is 0.82 Ar, should have gone 1.06.

Running 21 psi now, does have more in it.

it does feel like its choking at high rpm

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      By dbm7 · Posted

      He's right ~ there is no 'magic' with stuff like this ... it is more likely that in the process of looking for the short, the loom/wire 'incidentally' got moved in the process, thus removing the short ~ now, that maybe a wire (in a loom) rubbing against the edge of some grounded metal, that's worn through the insulation, causing the (now intermittent) short to ground. If one wire in a loom has been damaged in this fashion, it's reasonable to presume that other wires beside it may have also be damaged, and now exposed...you can bet the green crusty copper corrosion will start... ...that'd be a pisser, Murphy's Law steps right in as GTS observes...but worse, something like that is easier to find when shorted...ie; unplug bulb and fuse, and put multimeter in continuity mode so you get constant beep, and carefully poke about hoping to find if some movemet of the harness stop the beeping.... ...it's still all a bit Arnie tho' ..It'll be back... 😃

      Yeah, but knowledge of one wire's insulation worn through to short on earth implies the possibility of other wires doing the same. I had my power steering die, because the wire that runs to the solenoid valve on the rack runs in the same loom as the power wire for the O2 sensor. And when the O2 sensor/wire did something stupid and burnt part of that loom to death, the only indication was the shit(ter) fuel economy and the heavy steering. It took deep excavation of the looms in the bay to find the problem. Not wear through in that case, but similar shit.

      Ah, I thought he'd wired it to one of the spare ECU inputs! Too long ago since I read that post, ha ha. I've been arguing with radiators, harmonic balancers, alternators and rust since reading it.
