i dont know if this is the right place to put this topic. before i buy a nitrous kit for my cummins i have a few questions. first of all its a stock bottom end with 280k on it. i do have valve springs, gov springs, 191 dv, marine 370's, intake horn, etc. with the 125 shot i was looking at be a good investment? i dont want to granade this thing. also i know on gassers you have to retard timing when spraying, i want to get my timing advanced so is it even worth putting no2 on? thanks

 

that could be a disaster without studs and o-rings. and the poor stock turbo would hate it.

 

i once herd from a wise man "you can spool any turbo with the right amount of nitrous" but in all seriousness like jrad989 said get studs and o-rings.... also a buildt tranny would be good too...

 

The tranny is getting built right now. What kind of effects would I expect to see as far as boost pressure and such? Id be more worried about the bottom end coming apart I would think, but I really dunno... hence why I asked

 

bottom end is fairly solid. but a good shot of nitrous would prolly lift your head right up off the block on stock bolts.

 

nitrous increases cylinder pressure a ton. you would want studs and either o rings or fire rings. without your asking for trouble. also nitrous would explode that stock turbo in a heartbeat

 

theres a vidio on utube of a cummins turbo exploding with a shot of nitrous

 

What's the purpose of installing it? On a mildly built truck it's not worth the hassles involved running it

 

because you would then have a truck... with nitrous!!!! duh silly..everything is better with nitrous no matter the consequence right??? its a diesel truck.. stay with diesel 4 a while bud..

 

i saw a turbo explode last night from a big shot of nitrous on a truck that wasnt ready for it. fire works
