even with a turbo you cant just run around making big numbers. You have to go somewhere and get soem high octane gas,

 

at 1.98 a lbs it isn even a comparison carl.

and do we want to talk about the head unit, custom fabing, a/a a/w intercoolers, BOV, wastegates, and INCREDIBLE fuel systems required in a turbo kit? BS3? FAST? etc etc

 

You guys are mad men! Sick ass numbers gents. I love it when a project turns out better than expected. I am still waiting for my smackdown, you keep pilling up and I am not even going to be in sight anymore!

 

HEHE.. ill play devils advocate for a minute. Not trying to steal Dans thunder here

Did Dan have straight 93 in the fuel cell and tank?

you want to start talking multiple relays, multiple solenoids, dedicated fuel system, $$$ progressive controller, bottle warmer OR the nitrogen push, plumbing the direct port, etc...? Dont forget, Ive been down the N2O road and know all the electronics involved. By the time its all said and done, itll be about the same within a years time, but youll have to keep filling the bottles. In a years time I spent ~$4k on my wet kit (including bottle fills).

To make these numbers youll HAVE to run a direct port, progressive controller, all safety items, etc

Im done now REMEMBER PEOPLE THIS IS ALL IN FUN!

 

Dan ran 110 octane all the way around. So Dan has to get race gas at $5 a gallon + nitrous at $2 a lb. Most big HP turbo cars use C16 at $7-8 a gallon. Its all about even. Both types of combos require extra ttention and some preplanning to hit big HP #s.

You could do a nitrous kit similair to Dans for about $1800-2000 not including labor. You dont need a stand alone computer. For Dan to make these numbers with a turbo he would have spent in the $10k-15k range. Ultimately the turbo would make more power. But when you arent reaching for ALL possible HP and omly need 800-900 from a 408. This type of nitrous kit is a good option.

One little sidenote. The NX controller that Dan uses goes for $199 plus $99 for the noid driver. Thats a hell of a system for that price.

 

EDIT Als last statement, cuz Dan just ordered a second driver to progressively control the first stage. There's another $99.00 added to this system.

The point of the thread isn't to argue Turbo vs. N20 but to illuminate the hard work and one hell of a job done by the aforementioned party's. Rev Xtreme has put together a 1,000 hp car and Al's N20 genius has been put on display.

 

no arguing, just poking
I thought the controller was more than that?! Most you see go for ~$300++

 

Yeah Carl...the old controllers were more pricey and did alot less. All this new NX/FJO stuff is fantastic and a better value.

I will be using the MAximizer II which has some neat features on it. But the controller Dan is using is a damn good bargain.

And Dan...edit your list...because you didnt have to pay for that controller . It was a prototype. We got to test it for free and Dan got to keep it.

 

I sit corrected dad. I am ordering the second controller part # FJOKND0020....that is the correct one to progressively control the first stage right? I could not find it on Nitro Daves site tho....How in the hell do I get it?
