    anyone here running nitrous with aftermarket internals on a 4g94?
    or what exactly would it take to do this because a turbo build would be alot of work and time on a car that will be my daily till i finish high school and college
    or will the engine withstand a 75 shot stock?

    I don't think the stock internals will withstand any shot of nitrous.

    it might be able to take a 50..
    but it would be best to not run nitrous with stock internals.

    Honestly, a 50 shot would only take you up to about 165-180hp. I have no problem with anyone running spray, but there are downsides to it as well. It wears out piston rings faster, builds carbon on the tops of pistons and on the valves and the added heat produced could kill the header gasket. I'm not saying these will happen quickly, you may never have any problems...but I have seen motors pop on the first run, and others run 100 times with no prob. I would invest in some sort of piggyback or professional tuning. Whichever route you take, you will see gains...its just how you go about getting them.

    I would say dont do it.
    Best would be to just up your internals slowly ...
    or even just work with some bolt ons for now. I am just working on getting bolt on parts and I have a blast driving my car.
    after you get some of that work done.. and still want to run nos... well your car will be able to handle it better.
