i have a question that many of you will probably hate me for but im curious of what you have to say. im questioning about a nitrous oxide system on a 914. before you all just label me as the street racer that has scene that stupid movie fast and the furious too many times, please hear me out because im not. first of all i dont agree with street racing, second i know alot about nitrous oxide not just the word NOS and a button on the steering wheel, but my knowledge ends with water cooled engines not air-cooled. nitrous can be a very safe and smart power adder if used properly. first of all i bought my 914 for its handling characteristics not as a drag car so dont get me wrong, but i think i could have some fun with it at the drag track on a occasional weekend. my question is can a built motor and nitrous system be run on a 914 with respect to two things. 1. exhaust system. 2. transaxle strength. as for the first question. can nitrous be run on a built motor with the tangerine headers with heat exchangers without cracking the header and leaking deadly carbon dioxide into the heating system and cabin. as known nitrous heats things up very quickly and for a short period of time during its activation and creates alot of extra exhaust gasses. so i was wondering how it worked on air-cooled engines and there headers. i plan on running between a 50-75 hp shot of nitrous but im not willing to risk it if it could crack the header and leak into heat exchanger and the heating system. as for the second question. if im running an engine that puts out around 160 hp without nitrous oxide will the transaxle be able to take the sudden jolt of 50-75 hp or will this just break things. thanks for the help again.
