Nos in an n52?
Should this be taken seriously or something to do as a gag on our n52s? Haven't seen much about in our forums. Any thoughts?

You'd have to be very careful with the tuning, but it could certainly work. N52 pistons aren't the biggest fans of boost...

So, assuming I go forth with this revel move, would you recommend swapping pistons out? It's honestly something I would consider in the future to joke around with people and friends in the street.

Neither are the head gaskets, rods, crank, transmission, rear and block for that matter. I would think you'd be ok with a 50-75hp shot but if you're thinking of a 100-200 shot you'd be playing Russian roulette with your ride.

I'm crazy but not crazy enough for the big hundo. I'm sure 50 would be more then enough to spook a brz or frs

Also BPC's N52 motor AND trans were OK until they reached 500whp I believe.. motor blew at 600 IIRC. Do with this information as you please.

Yep. Not at all sure how it scales with hitting the bottle, but the strength exists.
Also they hit 8200rpm plenty of times, but currently the N54 intake manifold is only able to make power until 7200 (the 3 stage peaks at 6800)

That's what they had on that N/A 8200rpm dyno run that made 280whp. Stock manifolds are hilariously cheap to cut up...

I've never rode in a brz or frs. But I had one try to jump me once when out in my Corvette. IIRC....it didn't impress me that much. I didn't even have to downshift from 4th gear to shut that attempt down.

Also why 8200? Max piston velocity?

It's been ages since I used NOS as a Power Adder.
Came to terms that it was too addictive as I was filling bottles way too often. Finally got that out of my system and stuck to N/A upgrades aside from the time when I had my Terminator.
