Want feed back here... pros and cons... etc..

 

Nitrous pros: cheap, power when you want it
Nitrous cons: have to keep refilling bottle

Turbo pros: badass, adjustable, wins more pissing contests
Turbo cons: expensive, most are not CARB-legal

Depends how much money you wanna spend. If I had the funds I would definitely go with a turbocharger.

 

Id go with turbo....


NOS Con: Large amoung of explosive gases sitting in near you......
Can explode causing large expenses of damages to interior & body
Can Cause severe internal engine damage
Hard to sometimes use properly


Turbo Con: Can breakdown, but can be fixed.
Can blow, but do less damage (mostly no fire damage like nos can cause)
Can cause engine damage


NOS Pro: Boost of power when needed....


Turbo Pro: Adjusted, constant accesable boost.

 

As a Turbo owner, I would def say turbo

 

iv heard dry nos is pretty safe....

 

Okay, as an avid nitrous user, and having many friends w/ turbo setups on their cars, i must stand up for nitrous. Also, I recommend ZEX, then NX. Venom is just WAY overpriced, i've heard NOS to be very unsafe, and I don't think i'd trust any of these companies that just sort of hopped on the bandwagon like "Nitrous Works"....

Nitrous Pros: Adjustable amount of horsepower, WAY cheaper, less time to install, very safe & reliable if tuned right, cheap to refill bottle, ability to turn it off for daily driving, very safe so long as you take certain measures such as a blow down tube & pressure release valve.

Nitrous Cons: If it's cold outside & you don't have a bottle heater, you're not getting nearly the bottle pressure you want, i.e., not nearly the boost you should be getting.

Turbo Cons (from what i've seen):Very expensive for all parts needed, extensive downtime for install, many parts need to be custom fabricated, constant tuning, rediculous amount of oil consumption (this prettymuch makes up for the cost of refilling your nitrous bottle if you're running a decent oil)

Turbo Pros: Bragging rights (fmic, bov sound, etc.)

 

hahahaha, the only pro from a turbo is bragging rights . yeah, right.

ill give you that it is expensive, COULD mean downtime for your car if you dont know how to install, and it uses up a little more oil. but for starters, you can get the greddy kit which is meant to match your car so there is no custom fabricating needed. constant tuning? maybe if you switch your engine management from a daily driver to "race" all the time. i didn't have to tune my car at all (greddy kit once again). if you keep adding different parts to your setup you will have to keep re-tuning but some people are happy with the power they get. well atleast until the boost bug bites them. and i guess you can't change the hp of a turbo, oh wait.... YOU CAN! its called a BOOST CONTROLLER. and turbos are just fine for daily driving. if you dont need the power, you shift before the turbo spools up. if you want power, then you mash your foot down and there it is. if a turbo is tuned right, it is 100X safer then nitrous. with nitrous, you have to keep wondering if your engine is going to explode every time you use it. plus to me, i feel that nitrous is fake hp.

sorry for the long response, but your post was just a tad misleading, especially with the comment that the only pros from a turbo is bragging rights.

 

I think turbo is fake horse power too... what the hell u mean.. they are both mods.. not stock... and not all motor... turbo is just a "fake" or "cheap" as turbo... but thats the point isnt it? to haul some ballz. im down for both im just tryen to figure out if i wanna go nitrous.. i have no problem with it i just dont wanna rip my engine apart to beef it up so i can handle it.

 

not true, its like guns dotn kill people, people kill people... you know, that adage...

nitrous wont kill engines, idiots using nitrous kill engines. if you dont have too much going in, going in at the wrong times, etc you dont have to worry.... ive heard of plenty of cases where people used nitrous on high mile cars for a long time and never had problems.

both are very reliable sources of power if you do it right. dont cut corners, do it right the first time and your car will last.

turbo up front is more expensive (~3 grand for a kit) and to catch up with a ZEX kit (~600$ all said and done) you will have to fill your 10 lb bottle A LOT (30-50$ per bottle refill) so that gives you around 80 bottles.... keep your finger off the purge valve when you dont need to purge your system, dont just spray for the hell of it or for dumb stoplight races and a 10 lb bottle can last you a pretty long time

i personally plan to go with some nitrous at some point after rebuilding and raising my c/r

turbo is just too expensive for my tastes.

 

what about throttle position controlled purge? rather then a purge button??? and how well does it work if anyone knows it seems like the throttle purge will be the shiiz cause u dont have to push no damn button its just always there every gear.. or is that a bad thing
