Turbo and Nitro set up?

I was wondering if anyone had or knows anyone with this set up. I was trying the search engine but I couldn't find any thread. Is this a good idea? I know that people said with Nitro not to go over 75 shot MAX, but with the turbo I'm thinking something small like a "Sneaky Pete" 25 shot. What do you guys think?

What about that INSTANT boost when the turbo is maxed out and its WOT? Has anyone tried pulling that off?

The closest I'm familiar with to that(at least in the LSx world) is to put a CO2 fogger on the intercooler to greatly reduce IATs.

+1 on the intercooler spray bar....sprayed a Ford Lightning with it(but we used N20 not co2) and saw intake temps drop and make like 50HP more or so(I think)....so that way you are not taking any more chances with spray Nitro in the motor too just cooling the intake temp off a ton to make more power...

how about keeping the car in the proper rpm range so that isn't an issue?

In mine expeirence with Forced Induction turbo applications, nitrous and turbo motors are built differently and mixxing the two never seem to work out that good in the long run...However like mentioned above intercooler sprays and co2 kits help lower IAT with not a crazy amount of hp (depending on application)

Best bet is to turn up boost and have it all in the tune...

Pulleys, catch can, clutch and clutch reinforcement and flywheel. thats not half on my list i want to do with my car haha

Dude what a BAMF!!! lol hey sorry for the thread jack..... anyways what do you think would be better for me? NA setup or Turbo set up as a daily driver/weekend drift car? I had a friend turbo his rx8 and it has gone to ****. My goal is at least 350hp or something close and good power on low and top end.

If you want to try drifting I would not recommend N2O. Get a turbo.
And I am the one who blew a couple of intake manifolds.

I would never run N20 lol but i was trying to say their was some rx8 N/A with 300hp
Or turbo which would be better? and worth the money.

By the way, how did the intake manifold blow?
Is BHR coming out with a metal one? cause if their is, im putting that on my list.

I hate to sound like a drive-by cable TV commercial but that is how things go......
Aw ok :/ thats one part i wish some one would make, and a cable conversion for the throttle.

theirs a lag when you take off, it take 1sec or less for the computer to process how much you pressing the pedal, with cable it's like instant acceleration when you want it. when drifting no instant power your RPMs drop to low and takes too long to get back up high for the next turn.

yoko, the computer throttle also learns how you drive, so it will pick up on rapid throttle transition and learn to make different levels.

Also there is soem dodgy computer thing you can buy to make throttle more aggressive.
I cant remember what its called.

All that does is amp up the voltage that is sent from the pedal position sensor to the PCM. It pretty much tells the PCM the pedal position is higher than it actually is. The same effect can be had by simply putting the pedal to the floor.

I know the accessPORT allows you to make adjustments to the voltage as well.

So it just opens up the throttle body more. hows the response?
