Exclamation NOS/Turbonator

I bought a NOS kit for my 99 2.3 Cl 5spd and everyone I have spoken 2 thinks I have lost my mind. So since Nos is such a terrible thing, i discovered this turbonator thingy. Anyone know if its worth it? I haven't heard anything bad yet....

Search on here for turbonator, you'll hear plenty bad. Do NOT buy one, nos is ok in moderation. You have anything else done to your car?

So instead of NOS you're gonna do the turbonator. It's like I was gonna get eat a filet for dinner but everyone thought I was crazy but I happened to come across some rat shit so I think I might eat that instead.

CAI, headers, short throw shifter, changed to platinum spark plugs, and other minor modz. I didn't want to destroy my engine thats why i'm not really looking to install the NOS. I already have the entire kit, but everybody is advising me against it. My friend said if I was looking for a little performance change just to get the turbonator instead of putting my engine through all that pressure

the turbonator will do absoluetly nothing. I'd say try out the nos, the F series can take a considerable amount of punishment

If your friend suggested the turbonator, don't listen to anything else he has to say. Read up on the nitrous before installing it, you can do it safely and reliably if you do it right.

its just a fuckin car, you want fast car buy a corvette. forums are for problem solving. maybe im just wrong but i dont get why peopel keep asking about their car racing a saturn or a fuckin civic. its just a car, infact a cheap car at that... i mean its a good car, but really man, fuckin a, your transmission is messed up, then yeah ask some questions, your lights are broken ask some questions, but why do so many people ask about fixing up their 4 cyld acuras. sorry i had to vent but im so sick of people putting all this gay ass asain shit all over there car. it isnt a race car... cock balls ass.

no offence to a few of you guys, who really know alot about this vehicle, and can offer great help with problems.

Respect for all the replies that helped. I've read up on it and if I use a small enough shot I should be alright for a while. Then I can really take on that Enzo a**hole

remember that honda has made 50,000,000 (that's million) vtec units and none of them have ever failed. if the civic boys can NOS it then you can too. is say 35-50 shot would be sufficient. and make it a dry shot...not wet.

it may seem pointless to some, but others really enjoy their cars. honestly though, who really gives so much of a fuck as to what other people do with their cars? enthusiasts tune in, while whiners whine. fuck a corvette. smoke ice and rip a bike 180 mph--then bail. hooooo haaaaaaaaahhh

honestly, if he (or anyone) doesnt know alot about something carwise, id prefer him to come here and ask rather than go and put a turbonator in his car. every turbonator (and bw kit for that matter) that we keep off a CL is one less CL making us look stupid lol.

p.s. if your 'friends' told you to put a turbonator on your car then i suggest you find new friends lol. or atleast stop listening to their bright ideas.

Is this a joke? You bought a nitrous kit but think you might like the turbonator instead?


How about you send me the nitrous kit and I'll BUY you a turbonator.. lol

if you're not stupid with it the nitrous kit should be just fine dude... do a search on this forum for other users who abuse the shit out of their engines with nitrous ( ex. honda3x23 / clman02)

If you think a turbonator is a real mod, you probably don't know about nos. I'm not bashin ya man, but I just wanna caution ya. If you're just slappin nos on a stock motor and don't know what you're doin, you're probably gonna blow your motor
