hmm. I would recommend a nice small turbo kit. or if money is not on your side you can't ever go worng with a ZEX dry nitrous kit.

very safe (50hp shot), easy to install, cheap ($500).....either way make sure your fuel system is up to par and you're all set.

Thanks I will look into that......

no prob. I live in Birmingham, AL. If you end up getting a kit and want me to instal it for you you're welcome to come down one weekend and I'll set it up for you and show you how to use it.

is your car an atx or mtx tranny?

Automatic

Engine swap!

Maybe ......High octane gas would do my car a world of good...........lol......

Roddimus Prime May-4th-2004 08:02 AM

automatic is ok....I had a buddy with a 50shot on his 2.4L eclipse GS automatic....it really livened up his ride. Let me know.

p.s. These guys think you have several thousands of dollars to do mods. If you don't and you want Nitrous just send me pm and I'll get you started.

If I get the ZEX kit when it runs out how much does it cost to refill and another quiestion......or two.........or 3 .....1. what RPM should it be at??.......2. how much boost is it. 3. can my motor handle it??

kenspro May-4th-2004 05:21 PM

Higher octane would do nothing, Just waste money. Your motor will hold a 50 shot fine but the tranny might pop.

You "bro" sounds like a genious. He also sounds like an ASE certified technician and Mitsubishi cetified turbo-specialist,...oh wait, no...that's me!

I have done probably 10-20 nitrous kits for my friends cars. If done properly they are very safe and reliable and make lots of cheap horsepower.

Tell your brother he's been outranked.

kenspro May-4th-2004 09:30 PM

My brother really is smart he goes to UAH he knows alot but sometimes i question his knowlegde abotu N20...........thanks for takeing the time to talk to me back and forth also you have been a really great help for helping me decide what i want to do ........

kenspro May-4th-2004 09:37 PM
