Default how would it be

and what could i do to build my 3.8 to work withnitrous i mean i wanted to build it n/a but it seems our blocks are not ment for big power without the giggle gas so what if ibuilt n/a to where it was streetable and just add a 75 shot for the track is that possible or would i have to go a diffrent route

woaa racking the brain dude.
so you have to rebuild the engines internals so that it wont blow up(my friend blew his eclipse- 2 pistons out the hood)
and yeah you can just run the car without nos cause you cant drive with nos on the streets

good luck hope my ramblings got you somewhere

if you are going to do all that just for nos then why don't you just save up some more money and throw a charger on there instead. At least then you would have that extra power all the time instead of just a quick shot of nos.

Don't talk if you have no idea what the **** you're talking about. I hate noobs.

Anyway...

You can run a 75 shot bone stock on the 3.8. Anything above that is kind of pushing it on a stock motor, though.

Best bet is to get a high compression forged setup. You can get the SSM 4.2 stroker if you want. Then aftermarket or ported heads an intake. Basically rebuild the motor. You'll be making 230-250ish rwhp NA. Give or take a little depending on the compression ratio you go with. Then in that case, you'll be able to up the shot of nitrous to basically whatever you want, as long as the proper safety devices are there. I'm not very experienced or knowledgeable about nitrous and built motors on the 3.8, but I've seen quite a few 4.6 2v's run a high compression forged setups with 250+ shots of nitrous.

You can definately get into the 400+ rwhp range, and 450+ rwtq rang with a good motor build and a nice shot of the juice.

your friends an idiot and probably didnt tune the car

a 75 wet shot is fine for a DD car. could probably get away with a dry shot if it wasnt used as much, 100 wet shot wtih a GOOD tune is the highest i would go, you dont need a rebuild if you tune it right

as for runnign it on the street thats waht you get a remote bottle opener for
