its not a good idea if you dont have experience with it. the jetting combinations and advice you will get from people who use nitrous on other makes of vehicles will be VERY wrong. it took a while to figure out what the car liked on the spray.

I have experience with nitrous on my old civic I use to have. I only want to use a 25-30 shot on the wrx and I want to know if that will be ok. Right now I only have a boost controler and im saving for turbo back exhaust now. I ran a 13.5 at 98mph in the 1/4 with 151/4 psi.

There is a guy on the forums(MarksAccord?) that was at the Subaru Challenge that has nitros on his WRX.

I snapped this picture of his setup:


If I recall he's running 12s with a otherwise stock car.

So you turned up your PSI about 3 1/4 and u ran almost a whole second lower than stock...stocks run 14.4s right?
