Supercharger + NOS = What?
OK, I don't know if you guys have beat this to the ground yet, smile.gif but I was wondering what kind of REAL results would come from adding a NOS system to a already S/C tiburon?
I have read some about this setup, and I'm still a little
So, I guess what I need is opinions and facts on the effects to the engine and tranny of this setup.
What kind of power increase would I be looking at?
Thanks,
Tave

Red and I mentioned this in another post.
You could run a small shot of nos, like 35 or something. The supercharger runs hot, so the cooling of the nos would be very beneficial.
I've considered doing this to my s/c tibby - but I doubt that I would get anyone to insure me! LOL
Anyway, I'm sure Red or Random could give detailed pros and cons of nos and s/c.

In a nutshell, it is just like HRD_Tiburon stated. Most "roots" type superchargers that sit where the intake manifold is, have no way of cooling the intake air charge after the air is compressed. Most Turbo systems have an intercooler, most Roots superchargers do not, and can not.
By adding a small shot if Nitrous, you are "cooling" the intake air charge significantly, and also adding more Oxygen to the compressed air charge put out by the supercharger.
I was THINKING of doing this to Yamankeo's Supecharged Elantra, that is having horrible detonation problems, however, I want to get the majority of the detonation problems tuned out first, then use a small shot of Nitrous to act as an intercooler.
The fuel delivery problems must be fixed first however. You must make sure that the engine is running properly with just the supercharger, then you can add the nitrous, and the required additional ammounts of fuel.
In regards to your original question of what kind of gains can be seen? I have heard of HP to the wheels showing more than the shot of Nitrous. (40 Wheel HP on a 35 Shot). This kind of gain is NOT seen on a N/A motor due to the drive train losses, and less of a gain seen by cooling an already cool intake air charge.
