NOS? isnt that really hard on your car?sorry man, but you are really going to get flamed for this thread, so either put on the flame suit and take it or do some actual research.gsxeclipsed said:NOS? isnt that really hard on your car?

Seriously, I have been on this board for awhile and I have seen you post on Nabr, I didnt think such a comment would come from you. Hassle, you dont find purcashing a larger turbo, and then having it put on and tuned correctly a hassle? You should reSearch a Websters. The 14b is a great turbo, you should do some reading about tuning. Nitrous is a great power adder if you use it correctly.

1fast97gsx said:Well come on man what's so impressive or so great about running 12s on a 14b? With a 50 trim and the same supporting mods without nitrous that car would be in the 11s. Its like trying to run a low 13 on a t25 when you can just slap on a 16g and turboback and do the same thing with more potential. Besides, what's impressive about doing 12s on nitrous ... 12s isn't fast anymore by todays standards, especially on the bottle.
I do apologize for the spelling error though.
To answer the original question once again ... yes it is possible. Anything is possible with money. An evo went 10s on a 16g not too long ago. Is that a great time? Hell yea it is. Did you see the mod list though? It had a built motor with lots of headwork from what I remember. The same could have been done on a stock motor with just cams and a gt35r on 30 psi.
In fact DevilSperm just posted his 12 second timeslip in the hangout - 14b, stock sidemount, not a very big mod list either. All it really takes is a little good driving and decent tuning. Granted, not everyone can hit 12s with a 14b, but MANY have and have done so with relatively short mod lists
I was actually going to try my luck with the 14b, but it took a shit on me before I could get any times with it
