Hey guys, iv got a 91 v8, had it for 6 months now and getting sick of it, iv got a 3 1/2 inch exhaust on it and cold air intake, its good fun and sounds great but im slowly getting bored. iv looked at chargers for it, and they dont really interest me that much. I have started looking at Nitrous setups tho, and was thinking a wet 50 shot setup or a single fogger nozzle. my only worry is, how much can the motor withstand?

i did some research on this about 6 months ago, and did not find a lot of info at all on the net. in fact, i couldnt find a single person who had done it, only people who had theories on it.
we know as a rule that the motor is strong and very overengineered - so that is a positive.
but, like anything NOS is a bit of a gamble to get it right - refills are expensive, and i guess the overriding issue is that it is illegal to have a setup plumbed in on the street.

I have done a bit of research on this.
It looks like the fuel system in the Soarer's can handle approximately another 100hp or so
A wet kit is essential as the ability for the stock ECU to compensate with enough fuel for the extra air is dodgy and would likely lead to a lean out and engine damage.
Something like this would be a good starting point and another 100 odd horsepower would be noticeable.

thanks heaps boys, iv put the order thru for nitrous express. $875 for the bottle, fogger nossle, and purge valve. should be a little fun when i get the car off the road to do the work. going to try a 75 wet shot first, and then go up form there
aiden: not too sure why i dont like the chargers, just a bit more challenging playing with the nitrous, but i might get bored with it too and put one on later haha
