How much power could one make with a single t-3 exhaust housing on a 4 CYL car with nitrous? I have seen that 900+ AWHP is possible with looking at some post i've seen on the EvoM forums. I see on Honda-Tech that these guy's are really trying to get every last ounce out a given setup. Most of the truely fast ones, all use t-4 based turbos. I know some of DSM's in the past have used a bigger 1.06 housing t-3 when using nitrous. After seaching it seemed that the .70ar and .86 offering are the only t-3 based for the bullseye turbos. Pte or Garret based turbo's have the .82 housing at the largest currently. Tial does offer a housing aswell. To add nitrous to my t-3 based setup currently, would it be a waste or not? Would the gain's be worth the risk? There is not alot of information about a s366 on DSM's. Most seem to be all t-4 based setup's. The DSM from Iceland with the a t-3 s366, is currently the fastest at 9.65 @ 148 without nitous. My tuner is completely against spraying the car My only concern with running high boost, is that i'm not sure if my turbo will last running that king of boost with a journal bearing turbo. Any good advise would be a great.
 
I totally understand the concern on the turbo. I dont have faith in journals at high boost without nitrous, let alone with it. That aside, the nitrous works great on the .82 t3. At least small shots, not sure about big ones. I helped a friend with a manual 6265 car install a kit on his. It was a bb turbo though. On 45psi and a 35 shot at 900 it felt down right nasty. It made it feel way more aggressive then off the spray. Boost recovery is instant, powerband seemed wider. Besides your turbo concerns, i think it would for sure be worth your time.

Too many variables. On top of different turbine wheel specs there are also different housing a/r's available. The T3 housing can found be as small as .48 a/r in Garrett and as large as 18cm (1.30 a/r) in Holset.

The FP3794 is one of the largest single-scroll T3 turbos available for our cars and it has made some quite impressive power.
