i have a nitrous kit that i took off my truck. its a wet kit with a 10lb bottle with jets for 35, 50, 75, 100, 125, and 150 hp. its a universal kit from cold fusion and i was thinking about putting it on my VT when i get it. i know the basics of how turbos work but I've never tuned or played around with them. would the turbo setup on a VT freak out if i put a small shot, say 75 hp max?

Wouldn't freak out no but i dont think i would go past a 50 without being able to tune for it. Only thing im not 100 % sure of is how direct injection works with nitrous. Would definitely be fun though. Ive always liked spray. You can also use it to cool the intercooler if you want and run a spray bar

Umm well its a rubber tube going to the throttle body which you can tap but not as easily. I dont believe you supposed to put spray through a turbo but i may be wrong regardless id probably put it after the turbo. They make special grommits to put it in a rube hose though.

It uses the exhaust gasses to increase airflow going into the motor. Never worked on one before but I have a bunch of friends who do. Most of the guys i know who put turbos on their trucks have LT headers or shorty's and then mount the turbo after the header for a rear mount application. But u mentioned not spraying directly into a turbo so it kinda confused me.

the turbo is mounted right after the exhaust manifold but it is the first piece of the intake system after the intake piping..

turbine side of turbo is on the exhaust manifold which spools up the turbo, compressing the air, which goes through the charge system, intercooler, throttle body and then onto the intake manifold..

What he is saying is you would probably hook up the nitrous AFTER the compressor of the turbocharger (it has two sides)

bare bones of a typical system..


6) MORE power than expected is usually obtained on turbocharged vehicles, because it also improves charge density, and boost levels at the same time.

7) Because its easy to fit! Your fuel injected car already has the required 3 port regulator for the fuel, and its a simple matter of tapping into this fuel line and fitting a nitrous/fuel injector AFTER the intercooler and preferably as soon after the throttle body as possible. This way the correct psi above intake pressure is already taken care of by the existing fuel system. For option 1 to work as a boost lag elimination device you need to also fit a simple pressure switch, (a cheap one would be an old oil pressure type switch), that switches the Nitrous off as soon as it sees say 2/3 of your normal boost level. Say 8 to 10 PSI.

Nitrous + turbo go hand in hand VERY well, you just don't want to push it with too much nitrous.. Nitrous actually makes the turbo more efficient because of its ultra cooling properties.

I wouldn't start off with more than 35.

All of that said, I have NO idea how Nitrous works with a GDi system so make sure you look into that well before thinking about installing the system.

Also a 75 shot on a 1.6L is not considered small by any means. If you can figure out how to get it working well with the GDi system, I'd go with a maximum of 50 for a while.

What type of nitrous injection is it? dry, wet?

We are talking about the VT - right? How much more power do you think this Accent/Elantra can put down through the front wheels?

But I appreciate your enthusiasm. There are two ways to look at doing something like nitrous on the VT's motor.

On one hand it already makes 125hp per liter and is tightly monitored though countless sensors that control the throttle body, VVT, turbo wastegate servo, and of course the direct fuel injection. It takes an actual CPU to run all that stuff properly and Hyundai is already putting up big numbers for such a small motor. So tampering with all that is going to be difficult - bordering on impossible.

On the other hand all that technology is designed to automatically adapt to varying conditions like temperature and altitude which also greatly affects the amount of oxygen available for combustion. So a mild nitrous system that stays within reasonable parameters might just work without much modification to the motor sensors and ECU.

What I don't see is a scene from the Road Warrior and Humungous opening the nitrous bottle and being pinned in his seat.
