Nitrous vs turbo

[Eng90]

Hey guys,

Which setup would be the lighter one ?

Which one is more efficient ?

I am not concerned about filling nitrous bottles, i would like to know the best off all power adder which gives most power with its least amount of boost.

Compound boost with nitrous. Coolest setup when you've got unlimited funds.

What is meant by compound boost ?

How power adder is compared ? Is it compared by the power output it gives at a certain boost ?

Nitrous would be lighter if everything was equal. But for big power nitrous can't keep up. Eventually the engine just can't consume enough nitrous to make big power. That's why nitrous engines over the years have gotten larger and larger. Turbo will keep forcing it in no matter the engine size.

This is all true. Nitrous is a riot up to about +150. Beyond that, you need displacement or artificial displacement to allow you to consume more fuel and make more power.

Obviously, a ten pound bottle, a couple lines and some wiring weighs less than two steel, iron and aluminum turbos, with intercooler and piping.

of course it weighs less but no where near as efficient. nothing beats a Turbo on the street. not N20, not a blower, nothn can compete with the power possibilities of a Turbo. and unlike N20 its always there and u don't have to heat it for it to work properly.

and FAR less abuse on ur motor and tranny. N20 is brutal on ur components and tends to break shit far faster then a Turbo set up will.

Turbo everything.
