Hey everybody, I'm looking for advice and opinions here. I have a 99 GS and am looking at different mods for it. I am wanting peoples opinions and their experiences with turbo charging vs. nitrous on a N/T car. If I go turbo I am wanting to use the Hahn Racecraft Stage 2 setup (anyone use this?). Or should I go nitrous? Like I said, I'm just looking for advice is all. Thanks for your help.

well please search for some of your answers. You come here asking if anyone uses a HRC stage 2? Well there is about 50 of them and counting.

Nitrous - cheap horsepower, weekend warrior

Turbo - more expensive horsepower but always there, everyday racer

can i just swap in the motor from a GST/GSX instead?

Yeah, welcome to the board.

If you want powah then you've found the right spot. This board has a history of ALOT of people who are turbo and nitrous and tons of good and bad stories about using either on our cars. If you're really serious about it, I highly suggest reading through the various forums. I'm sure it'll help you decide whats best for you as far as turbo or nitrous or both or niether.

Good luck and have fun.

In my experience I would go turbo kit all the way! I used to have NOS on my Eclipse. It's really cool, HP at the push of a button. I ran a 15.2 @ 92 with an AEM CAI and GReddy header and other wise stock car.

Resently I installed a NER stage 1 turbo kit with a T3/T04 s-trim ball bearing turbo. The only other mods the car had was an AFX UDP. The night I installed the kit I raced my friends JR Supercharged Integra LS with fully built/ported/cammed head and a HonData. He dyno'd at 210 hp to the wheels. We raced from a 45 mph roll. Let me tell you by 80mph I was looking in my rearview at him.

The turbo is totally different in its means of power delivery and how you can drive the car around town. You will tend to eat much more gas if you like driving around in boost. Out of boost, drives like the stock car same as NOS off the bottle.
