RE: Good bye higher compression
Well when a turbo is to large to be spooled in a timely maner then n2o becomes helpfull, you would need to be running a gt42 or larger though at above 20psi which will require a full detailed build anyways.

what motor is it on?

As it sits right now it's closer to 185hp and 185tq @ 6,000rpm and redlines at 7,150rpm
The turbo I am looking at is for the Focus, but some Escort guys are using it too.

Why is it all the Ford guys *have* to have nitrous.

RE: Good bye higher compression
I am posting on a Honda Forum because I want to.
I did not come in here and start bashing Hondas.
I just like to see what the Honda Boys are doing.
I do not have to have nitrous, I want nitrous. I've done everything else except a bottom end build, so next step is turbo and nitous.
