    Nitrous setup on e30

    This is a relatively easy way to pickup power it seems. Seeing as the m20 doesnt exactly have cheap upgrades for power...has anyone on here put a nitrous setup on their e30?

    Just curious to see if some of you have deviated from the usual 24v swap or turbo.

    I've seen a 100 dry shot on a turbo M20 before, guy claimed to be making 500whp. Not so sure I believe him though.

      Yeah, I think I remember reading about people using nitrous to help out with turbo lag, but that number is a little crazy...

      Im talking about a 75 or 100 shot on a stock motor. I searched, but didnt find anybody that actually had one. All the convos led to F&F:(

        I think tonytony had a ZEX system on his car. But he may of been 24v though.

            Yeah, I looked him up and he has a 65 shot ZEX system and he is 24v. Doesnt really say anything about it though besides listing it as a mod:(

              Do it! Do you know how to install a kit/what you'd need to put one on an m20?

                  with a nitrous kit sure, but i don't know what is safe for the m20's, timing, compression etc.

                          If you drive your e30 on stairs, you're gonna have a bad time.
