important question

what do yall think the top shot of nitrous i should put to my 1.8 single over head

I would like to hear a answer to this question also, I currently have my 1.8 torn apart all over the garage. I am considering nitrous as an option, but I don't know how much to trust the stock cast pistons and rods. If I were to want to go with an extreme amount of nitrous (100+) what internals would you recommend and where could I purchase them ?

i would like to know a shot to go with, without changing pistons or engine

I wouldn't go any larger than a 50 shot on stock internals. That's my opinion. I ran a 75 shot on my old 2.0 Liter 420A.

thanks for your reply

when you are saying stock internals just what are you making reference too? Im sure my crank could hold up okay as long as I do not go too overboard, but I am concerned about those dinky ass rods in the 1.8s. I would like to replace them and the pistons with forged parts, however it looks as if I would have to get them custom made, very $$ . I did get ahold of good set of sealed power rings and bearings, and looking for a copper seal head gasket. but I just don't know if that will be enough. If anyone has a line on forged 1.8 pistons and rods let me know, and let me know how poor the are gonna make me too. If I can manage to get them under a grand Im looking real hard at the 4g32 turbo option.
anyways im rambling... thanks

50 shot is what I'm gonna be using... That's about all you wanna spray w/ stock internals.

I just looked in your profile 91eclipseGs, and it makes reference to you already having nitrous installed, have your ran it yet? and if so how did it go. btw, the sohc1.8 is not a gs... just a base model eclipse

And as for swapping heads..... no chance without $$(bling bling)
