hey everyone, dont think i am crazy, but has anyone used nitrous successfully on the aurora 4.0? i am kinda tossing around the idea for S's&G's and was wondering if anyone has done or attempted to instal a kit. i have a mustang race car, so the hookup would not be a problem, neither would the hard parts and such. if possible i was thinking about around a 50-75 shot wet on a micro switch at WOT(or window switch). i dont think the motor should have any problem like that, but what about the trans? let me know what you guys think...am i out of my mind or should i experiment? i am in love with the car at this point, and this is probably not going to happen for the sake of reliability and already having a fast car, but like i said, it is all in fun. peace!

I would do it only if I had some tranny insurance (ie LSD, or even a brand new bulletproof aftermarket 4T80E) the L47 can handle it, the tranny....I dunno. Direct port nitrous is the way to go  |

trak.to/aurora then click on "galleries" then "custom". There's an article there about Alex Borla's progressive nitrous system on a 1996 Aurora.

Jim, over time if you use the spray a lot, it will deteoriate your rings and you would be leaving trails of smoke everywhere. I dont care if its capable, not me anyway.

Not me personally, but ive seen my friends 5.0 mustang need a new ring job because of extended use. He used it on the highways even.

in theory, if nitrous is used correctly, nothing will go wrong motor-wise. ive got a friend who has an 86 toyota celica gt-s (real nasty beater) over 200k on the motor, seems to run good and he just sprayed the snot out of it. the car was real fun with nitrous. id say over the course of a summer he refilled about 50-10lb bottles and the car runs to this day. he blew a head gasket once when he got a bit greedy with the spray, but it was promptly changed(about 1 hour) without being clean, just pull the valve cover off,loosen bolts, prop head about 1/2" up remove old gasket, replace and go! the car has not had one problem since. moral of story: this is what I think about every time soemone says they want to spray something. if used correctly, spray can be the most wonderful thing. just dont get greedy with it or things will start happening. i also have a mustang 5.0, and last summer me and a few buddies hooked up the spray put on some drag radials and went to town. we sprayed the car with a rich 100hp shot wet and the car loved it. i pulled the heads off and the motor looked parfect with excellent compression(prior to pulling the heads  ). so, i see nothing in nitrous that would deteriorate rings or other hard parts, it is only when you dont pull timing, run it dry, or run to much that you start breaking stuff. remember, nitrous is an oxidizer. not an explosive. it just adds to the fire. peace! |

n2o raises cylinder pressure...higher cylinder pressure equals more stress on parts...i.e. rings, rods, pistons, bearings, etc. however you can use it, but i wouldn't put more than a 100 shot on the 4.0
you could also run a dry shot before the throttle body as the computer would compensate with fuel.

Jim the tranny is designed to work with the larger 4.6 motor, so there is a bit of safe headroom to work with. A 50-shot should be ok.

Thats true Kobalt, I didnt realize that fact that the 4T80E is used on the 4.6 so there is no reason why it couldnt handle a 50 shot. What are the general opinions on direct port (thru the intake manifold) vs. dry shot thru the intake. Could/would the MAF be able to handle the shot? *edit* Kobalt..ex 3.5 2001? what did you get? |

The 4T80-E is rated to 315 lb-ft of input torque. And I believe it's rated up to 6700 rpm? Maybe 6900? If you want to be safer, my understanding is direct-port is the safest way to ensure even dispersment and enough fuel. I personally would keep it turned low. It just doesn't seem worth it to put a 75-100+ shot on our cars. If you want that kind of performance, either be prepared to spend a lot of money, or get a sports car.  |

sharp eye buddy...stay tuned... Probably will hang over on the Cadillac boards from now on. Nose will start elevating in altitude.  Did you get the VA car you were looking at? |

no to all of these I got the car 20 miles away (Lyndhurst). It was a NY upstate car and is in great condition. So far so good. |

). so, i see nothing in nitrous that would deteriorate rings or other hard parts, it is only when you dont pull timing, run it dry, or run to much that you start breaking stuff.
