Is Its gonna Blow

[BroknAllTheTime]

Alright, im sure its somewhere on here,but i cant find the exact answer im looking for.

My cousin and I have a joint project his 97 eclipse gst we just built the motor ross racing, eagle rods...new head yadda yadda yadda. We just bought a small 16g been ported, clipped w/ 34mm flapper. We have a nos kit and we will probably add wot switch. We are using standalone on a good tune.

? is are we going to blow this turbo to shreds on a 75,100,150 shot?
help please!

I did a search and come up with this for you... Read what NOSLASER has to say.

alright what about running the wot switch from 0 to 3200 rpms so i dont blow the turbo? is that going to work.. with a 50 shot

Your RPM's shouldn't even be in the 3000 range if your racing.

You guys who are experimenting with nitrous should REALLY do some research and homework before using it. This is a double edged sword. Nitrous is REALLY basic, and is pretty fool proof, but if you use it deliberately WRONG, then you are going to be one of the people who contribute to nitrous's bad reputation when it is the opperator, not the nitrous itself that was the problem. You need to have LOAD on the motor before you spray which is why if you did some research, you would have found that it is commonly said to not spray below 3000rpm. If you spray below that rpm on a consistent basis (especially in a 4cylinder) you will blow the motor up. On a torquier motor such as a 5 liter V8, you can spray lower because the motor will actually have load on it at lower rpm. For example, I can stab the throttle on my 302 Mustang Coupe at 1000rpm, and it will EXPLODE baking the tires. Do that in a turbo DSM, and it will be a few minutes before it does anything. A 16G, while fully capable of making power with nitrous, is NOT the ideal turbo to spray on. No matter how 'slow spooling' some deluded DSM people think they are, a 16g is a VERY fast spooling turbo that can experience some very high blade speed. Add nitrous to the equation, and you are spooling it even faster, which creates a LOT of heat. Heat is good for making power, but not good for having long lasting turbo components. If you MUST spray on a 16G, I would use a heavily ported 8cm exhaust housing and a 15 degree clip on the exhaust wheel to allow the extra exhaust pulse to escape. The heat in the exhaust from the nitrous will still spool the turbo ultra-fast, but will at least have more of an outlet. Don't forget to retard the timing back to at least stock (even if you haven't touched it, check it anyway...it should be at 5 degree BTDC). Do some more research and asking around before you use it so you have GOOD results instead of catastrophic ones. Is this a wet kit or a dry kit? Where are you tapping the nozzle? You can only believe about .005% of what you read on an internet forum, always remember that. But I guess most of the people on forums are kids, and kids always know everything.
