^ just payed for mikeewiththez's kit, def cut me a hell of a deal as he stated. but how much do you guys spray your z? i know once installed im gonna want to spray it alot but i dont want to pop the motor. i dont know if you make consecutive runs with it if it gets more dangerous the more constant you spray. and always synthetic oil? ive just been using regular dino oil since ive had it, since the manual states to use that, and its cheaper.

Ran a 100 shot for a year, no problems. You will need engine management for anything over 75 shot, either a UTEC, or just something to pull timing, like a J&S Ultra Safeguard.

I've been running 100 shot in my Z for a few months. I've had no problems with it. In my "opinion" though...100 shot is borderline safe. 75 shot in a Z is a really safe shot to go with.

But if you plan to go above over 100 shot then I would definaltely recommend you getting a engine management.

Start out with a 75 shot first till you get use to it then move up to a 100 shot. Goodluck

Default Boost and juice!

I know this is a total newbie question, but I never ran a turbo or nitrous on my eclipse. I am wondering will my stock Z engine hold up to a Turbonetics turbo and nitrous. I know I want the turbo and I was thinking about a 75 shot used only on occasion, and possibly a nitrous n-tercooler system.Thanks in advance.

you will blow it without a doubt on a stock block...you can make good power with just the turbonetics, i know personally i wouldnt even try it but to each his own cause its your car

I kinda had that feeling. I mean common sense would suggest such, but part of me wanted a second opinion. Ok what about the nitrous cooling system for the intercooler. Is it worth the time and trouble? Also can it be plumbed to run purge. Obviously this would be just for the visual affect but still.

yes you could get it and use it for that, but make sure you tune it for it, and yes it can be plumbed in with a purge

I appreciate all your help. I'm sure I'll have more questions in the very near future.
