  • can i do nitrous

    i have a 96 rs convertible swapped out enigne at 104000 miles with a built one i got off of a guy around here
    this is what is done to it:
    -stock block bored 40 over
    -custom made and blueprinted diamond racing forged pistons with valve reliefs
    -sealed power piston rings
    -diamond racing forged wrist pins
    -512/520 lift comp cams
    -comp cams roller lifters
    -comp cams valve springs to match cam
    -arp rod bolts
    - ported and polished upper and lower intake
    -mild head porting with 5 angle valve job
    -msd coils
    -stock lt1 fuel injectors
    -ceramic coated pacesetter headers with y pipe and high flo cat
    -new oil pump and timing chain
    -ngk spark plugs i think he said one degree colder
    -8.8mm 300+ race wires
    -cryo treates crank/pushrods/connecting rods/pistons
    -duralast gold alternator & starter
    -fel pro gaskets
    compression is 9.7 to 1

    so would this engine be good for nitrous as is or would i have to do some more modifications, any input would be appreciated

    thanks

      With those forged internals, I think you'll be okay, but as 97RS4life said, your cylinder walls are pretty thin now.

      I'd spray it though. Thats just me :D

        Also do you have Hptuners for the tuning, I see your running24lb injectors and cam? Might need to get it tuned.

                What does your car run currently with all of those modifications?

                    If the tranny needs rebuilt, dont even bother with nitrous until its been rebuilt.

                        Well..... it seems like you have a decent engine there.... what is the history of this engine?

                        What is your level of ability with cars?

                        The cylinder walls are pretty slim... I might be nervous.

                        What kind of tuning has been done?

                          Re: can i do nitrous

                          it was rebuilt right before i got it

                          no tuning yet i have to get a 97 pcm
                          also have to redo the trans and get a different stall converter

                          i have medium car knowledge do most things by myself or with friends or my brother who is pretty much a cert mechanic

                            you got forged wrist pins... but stock rods???????

                            just something to take note of: you have slightly higher compression than stock
