So I'm looking to get some more power out of my 1.7 FI motor and thought NOS was the best bang for the buck. Of course I would love a 3.2 but that isn't in the budget. So has anyone here ever used nitrous on a stock type 4 motor and had success. The idea was to only use it during autcross events and the like. Any advice would be helpful.

ive heard use 2 tanks

1 to blow throught however you are gonna deliver it (dirrect port, wet or dry, wet would be best on a 914 and remain resonable)

2nd tank to blow through an intercooler you would have to mount in the engine
that would blow super cold air throught there to help cool it

you probably wouldnt wanna mount a button in your stearing wheel or nething tacky like that
you could make a bracket and mount it off the rear bulkhead with a switch that would open the valve only when the throttle body moves to full open or damn close

i was thinking about doingit but decided against it my main worry was giving it full throttle out of the gate in 1st seeing as how 1st spins out so fast it seems like it would be easy to over rev it and pop the engine
