Squeeze the Bottle vs. N/A power - Hyundai Performance Forums

Ok I'm at a stand still with RubenZ, he says to go with the NOS as like a quick fix to the power problem.
I want to go just Header and bigger exhaust.

Now I know the Pro's and Con's for each item, I'm just wondering what some of you would choose.

thanks

Well first off, how will the car be driven and what kind of uses will it see?:hmmm:

why not do both? The header and exhaust will give you all around gains and the nitrous.. well, good for emergancies.

ok an NX kit gives you like 50hp real easy... headers + exhaust maybe 10hp if you are lucky... am i going to have to smack you

Yeah, but you don't have to keep refilling a header and exhaust.

Yeah and I wouldnt worry as much about header causing my engine to blow

Unless you are running a turbo, I always believe your first three engine mods should always be I/H/E. You need to get your car breathing right first.

you dont have to fill a bottle up that much unless you are Jaws021 hehe.... and you only use it when you need that extra power. Sadly N/A mods dont do much to our engines

I would like to see what Extrude Hone could do with the head off of a beta.. I bet they could make it flow with that neat silly putty abrasive they use.

i agree on I/H/E first. youll get more than 10whp and a good sound, plus power whenever you need it. im quite pleased with that in my 1.6 so far and my next mod is twin TB setup with fuel management and then comes headwork and finally the supercharger. I/H/E will be all i havethrough this winter though, due to crappy NY winters and funds.

plus an open NO2 is illegal on the streets u know. ive never been a fan of nitrous but i will use it eventually with forced induction to cool the intake charge, maybe a 35-40 shot for some extra wheelspin or something lol.
