So whats the worst that can happen?
So whats the worst that can happen?
i'm running nitrous without a window switch and lets say i hit the rev limiter and something serious goes wrong. My question here is, if something were to go really wrong what parts would need to be replaced in the engine. Obviously, the worst is the engine blowing up. I'm moreover leaning towards broken rods or pistons. ( if there is anything else plz let me know).
How much would this really cost and what type of aftermarket engine parts would you need to fix it. no labor just the parts. The reason i'm asking is b/c i'm just getting a bit scared b/c on friday nights I usually run nitrous about 5-6 times. sometimes i get close to redline and sometimes i'm completely safe. I will buy a window switch soon, but i just wanna be prepared if something does go wrong with engine parts.
I'm guessing i'm gonna need about $900 to buy parts, but i could be wrong.

LOL! It would be a lot more then that.
If something were to go wrong due to NOS, more then likely you'll be replacing the block and all the internals, and maybe even the heads.
What usualy happens during a lean burn (rev limiter reducing fuel) is that you melt pistons and sometime even the block. I've seen NOS melt through the walls of a big block Chevy, exposing the inside of the cylinder and crank, all due to heat.
If you did just shatter a piston, you would probably take out the head with it, and probably the block.
When a motor goes due to NOS, it is usually at high RPM's, which is when the most damage is done.
Engaging NOS at too low of RPM's can creat a hell of a lot of tourqe, which can snap rods.
Be smart, getting the window switch or a piggyback ECU like a UTEC before using NOS as often as you say you do, could save you a lot of pain.

it cost alot to fix this, trust me
in parts I would say some where around $1,500-$2,500 in just parts (could be done cheaper, all on what parts you go with) alot more then just rods and pistons to replace.
