    turbo/supercharger/nitrous descussion

    i recently installed nitrous to my car. in this kit it includes an ecu that bolts on and works with my stock ecu. now my question is, if i were to install a turbo or a supercharger what would i need to do with the ecu if anything? :?

    You'd probably have to beef up your internals while you were at it.

    well like everyone is saying i would build your bottom end. Your already running forced intro.

    But if you were to say just run 6-7psi on the stock motor without nitrous i feel you would be safe. I meen i am compairing the corolla motor to the civic motor. Both run a Valve timing computer. Both run aluminum parts. Other then the stroke difference i say there isn't.

    And I would lose the Nitrous if you want to go with FI, too much to run safely and more importantly, reliability :wink:

    having taken the head off the motor before, i would have to say the connecting rods in our cars are pretty beefy. The pistons need to be forged for anything major, but the rods are alright. Dont run NOS with FI...thats a quick way to blow up ur car...unless ur getting the TRD blower, that thing wont give you enough hp to blow up ur car :)
