from my understanding is that is actually harder on a motor then even boost at at 12psi on the trd blower
How hard nitrous it is specifically related to how much, method of delivery, and at what RPM.
Is a small 35 shot @ 3500 RPM + the same as 12 PSI? Nope... lol Not nearly as much heat.
I got about 70K miles on a Gadget tune and exactly a 1 mile on an APR E85 tune.
You prove my point even further though. The trucks boosted are just about to burst open, why risk adding NAWS on top of it? I think you are very lucky yours didnt go...or maybe it did, and thats why yours was traded in the day after you tried it:laugh:
Traded in the day after I tried it? Wrong information there. I had been running spray for a year.... I have the video history and the dyno history to prove it.
I traded my truck in running fine, the dealership test drove it. I also met the owner after me who bought it.
My MK1 hasn't blown up yet, even with the c38 on it, and doesn't really show any signs of it blowing up anytime soon...
I'm just stating my opinion, because I know somebody will come back with a sarcastic reply, but it's all good.
I think the majority of people don't run nitrous, especially with these motors, because it's notorious for ruining engines. Yes the trd with nitrous setup ran like a raped ape, but it wasn't around very long for us to see the long term affects of it. Also, the money that it costs to make a "safe" nitrous setup, most people would rather put towards internals to build a motor that is stronger than they need it to be, so they can be confident in their motor not becoming a grenade, instead of a nitrous setup that may or may not blow it up. What worked fine on one persons truck, could ruin another one. Some people's mk1's blew up, some didn't. Your truck didn't blow up, alot of others could just as easy. I personally think that putting spray on a motor with stock internals will just be a guessing game on how long it lasts.
And mustangs suck. Lol couldn't help it.
Nitrous is used every day successfully by a ton of road warriors and track goers; its bad rep comes from uneducated people using it. Anyone who sees it as being a notorious motor ruiner really doesn't have a clue when it comes to using it; they are often opinions made by people who have never owned and operated a nitrous vehicle.
Being idiotic with boost and tuning will kill a motor just as quick as nitrous will. The main difference is nitrous is CHEAPER to get into (under $1,000.00) and can kill a motor quickly with inexperience & mistakes (because of how potent yet basic a store bought kit is) if you are stupid with it.
You can go from 20 HP to 200 HP in 5 mins with a few turns of a wrench and two jets, idiots heating their bottles to unknown pressures with torches, idiots making huge power changes with out tuning for it; you don't see where you get into trouble there?
Ive used plenty of it successfully on my own vehicles and others to fully trust what it can do; I am not worried about it.
Less then 1,000.00 is a safe setup; expensive setups give you more customization in method of delivery - not necessarily safety.
Safety is easily achieved with some simple modules that cost under 100$.
Where are you getting this information from? Whats your personal experience with it?
Ive run nitrous on everything from nitromethane RC cars, quads, motorcycles, trucks, and cars; just no lawn mowers yet lol.
Do you have enough personal experience with the stuff to make that personal opinion? Whats the differance between running boost on stock internals or nitrous?
What do the mustang owners say about your truck? hahaha Gotta bring the ford thing into it!
