So far I have ran low boost 14 psi. and a 35 shot wet with no problems and a noticeable gain. With the timing retarded 3 degrees from safe on just boost. Final goal is 18 psi. and a 50 shot. FYI, I live in a higher elevation 3800ft. and this may not be the same out come at lower elevations + sea level so try at your own risk. This all started when we sold my wife's Spec-V and I had the FJO nitrous controller and the whole setup off of it just laying around the garage. I started to think of what a small n2o shot on the tiburon might do as far as lowering intake temps and jump starting the turbo sooner. So the experiment began. I figured since I have small pipes from the turbo to the intercooer to the intake anything higher then 18 psi may actually start to cause turbulence and make less power then it could at the same psi and a little bigger pipe. Im running the alpine kit piping which is about 2 inch at best. So the amount of air in the pipe @ 18 psi may be equivalent to lets say 15 psi in a 2.5 inch pipe. At least thats my reasoning. So anyhow to save money ,and use what I have already ,N2o seemed like a good venture. If any one has any questions or suggestions let me have them. Ill keep you posted and hopefully have some track times to show you soon.
