let's say you want a reliably motor and want one of these power adder's nos or turbo let's say a stock honda block any bseries will do. and you add colder plugs, 310cc injectors, v-afc, stock internals. witch do you think would last longer and why. turbo set at 8psi and a 60shot. a freind of mine 's swear's nos will last longer and here's the agrument you only spray every once in a while not all the time but the turbo is always thier so nos is better, i laugh cause i know both won't last long on a honda most of the times but if i had to choice one i'd say turbo. what do you say and why.

 

You really make the question difficult to answer in the format it is posed. Lets just say we are assuming that all fuel and tuning requiremnts for both setups are adequate. Also...Turbo is not always on..its more like Nos in that regard. Its there when you put your foot into it a bit....atleast as far as added power is concerned. It all comes down to cylinder pressure. Cylinder pressure = Tq. So look at the Tq output over the useful RPM range. Assuming each one is used the same amount of time at full power..the one with the highest avg TQ output will fail the quickest. In this case most people run an on/off non progressive nos kit will fail first. And we are talking bearings, rings, etc.
But really we are splitting hairs here. I would say only 10% of cars that fail are due to being worn out over time. Most of us blow the motors due to inadequate fule/tune, mistakes, or just plain getting greedy with the nitrous pills or boost controller. Usually resulting in detonation or just plain exceeding mechanical design limits

How many people with turbos or nitrous run at a medium safe level. Not many...most are pushing their setups to run right at the limit 95-100%, with almost no margin for error. Thats the human factor . The human factor results in more blown motors than any differences between N20 and Turbo.

 

 

tru

 

Turbo owns. Turbo never runs out, and you never have to fill it.

 

I'm happy with my bottle. I feel N2O is great if you don't get greedy.

 

whichever you tune better

 

I run both turbo AND nitrous on my maxima, so there...NAAA
14 psi boost and a 100 shot

 

I've got 141,000 miles that says a turbo is plenty reliable.
