Boost it #25

Open jglovier opened 8 years ago

jglovier commented 8 years ago

A couple options for boost, and not mutually exclusive (could do either, or both).

Turbo

I need to do more research, but I'd really like to add a turbo to the motor (more research needed because some people claim the B16 motor is best naturally aspirated, and you can't do very high PSI without rebuilding the bottom end, so I need to look into that more).

Also need to do more research on what type/brand turbo to buy still.

NOS

A bolt on Nitric Oxide kit would be the cheapest and easiest way to boost the horsepower beyond natural aspiration. Andy's Auto Sport sells a dry nitrous system for about $820 including the bottle.

Other considerations

Talked to Dwight the other day, and he said just stick with the Turbo, don't mess with NOS for a daily driver. That's probably a good call. Turbo will make a huge difference on it's own.
