Default Nitrous Oxide good idea or waste of time?

im looking getting nitrous for my s2 RST, has anyone tried it before?

what sort of upgrades would i need to do to the engine before having it installed?

im looking to get an extra 100bhp from the nitrous.

cheers

it'd be cheaper to mod the engine to produce that power on top anyway than to strenghten it to take that kind of hit.

25hp probably yeah, 50 if you dont mind replacing pistons every few weeks.

they're a 30 year old engine mate.

100bhp NOS is no joke mate. Good luck with that. As orionmojo said, remember these are 30yr old engines not Honda Type R!
