Default Bottle warmer always on?

As the title says, can you run with a bottle warmer on all of the time, as in whenever the car (a daily driver) is running? Thinking about using nitrous for the cheap power, but want it on demand. Is that ill-advisable to do such a setup or are others doing this?

if that's the case, why turbo a street car? I'm only looking at putting a 75 or 100 shot on. I was just looking for more power on the occasional times when I want to mess around, but don't want to drop 5k+ on a turbo kit yet.

A lot of people do turbo a street car though.

And what I am I missing about a 5k turbo kit? I realize this isn't the best one, but isn't this an example of one?

Yea.... go ahead buy that kit, install it and see how much more parts youll need.... haha

And there really isnt a need for a turbo street car other than fuel efficiency

Or gauges to monitor vitals, or various nick knacks that actually allows the car to be safe and reliable haha

I knew a tune would be needed, didn't realize there was a bunch of other stuff that would add up though. Thanks.

hmmm... guess I do need to look more into nitrous. I was looking at a Zex wet shot kit for the 350z and a few add-ons, and was coming up with about $1200-1500 in parts.

A complete kit runs between 2-2500. Fuel mods is about another 5-1000 or so, add in guages, dyno tunes, and various misc and youre looking riughly 5k if not more.

Wouldn't that with a bottle opener, warmer, and window switch pretty much be all that I need?

If I go nitrous, I was gonna do it before my dyno tune. I could see where a AF gauge would be nice, is there anything else that I really need on top of the stuff in my post above?

After learning what a pita it is to get any information on how to get extra power out of it, and then the cost to do so, it's more likely to be a "I sold my Z..." thread instead of a crashed one.

What they are trying to say is that it seems like you don't have much knowledge with working on cars and for them to compile a list of things you need would be useless since you can not perform the work yourself.

FYI I was able to fully turbo my car with street tune for under 2k. If you know what you're doing it's not that expensive to add enough power to make you smile.
