I have been thinking about changing the setup around.
Sell my n2o setup that I have not used in years but on and tested in working order (afraid to break the factory t5 right now). Bottle has been in the spare bedroom for 6yrs.
My n2o setup is a compucar wet kit including compucar bottle, noid, nozzle with 100,125, and 175 jets. N.O.S fogger nozzle with 150 jets. MSD window switch, and N.O.S. bottle warmer.
I would use the funds from sale of the n2o kit towards a turbo setup (not expecting to cover all...maybe $250-300). I would probably buy a hotside setup or maybe a hotside and intercooler. My little brother who is a certified welder owes me some money so I could probably have him fab up (ie weld what I cut/mock up) a cold side in exchange for some of the money owed. It would be a small turbo 57-64 at most setup. 5800-6000 max rpm, toy...if the T5 breaks so be it. Been looking at decent hotside setups for around 600-800 used but in good condition. Would like to stay away from a on3 setup but would not count them out either...maybe plan for an upgraded turbo down the line. If I got a on3 I might swap out from rubber pieces to better clamps (via brother welding ends were/if needed). Car currently has no A/C but that will probably change as when I install a front mount I would replace the busted condenser while in there.
Problem is I would only be able to probably run 8lbs of boost...maybe 10 I am thinking this is a big maybe. I have iron GT40 heads (smoothed chambers) and 10.3:1 to 10.6:1 depending on some production variances (one extreme to the other).
I would be happy with the constant power if I could end up with 400-ish to the rears and no major fuel upgrades beyond 42# injectors and maybe an LMAF from my 98GT 80mm unit. I have an intank 190 and could see putting an in-line or swapping the intake to a 255.
My major hesitation is n/a I have the tune down fairly well but with the n2o just sitting there not being used I might as well not have it. However, it is nice to know I can toss a bottle in and have 150 (jets in now) with a flip of a switch when/if I want it.
Obviously, if the bottle has been sitting for 6yrs out of the car refills are not a issue
...to that end its more "leaving on the table". Its just for all the work/tuning I will gain a swoosh and always there power...but will probably be about were I am now power wise if I used the n2o I already have.
