got shot - Honda Prelude Forum

preylude22 · 03-20-2003, 05:35 PM

just wonderin what it feels like when u spray 50-100 shot, i mean it must be kinda like a turbo but like 10 times better!!!! plz lemme know...thnx

axion68 · 03-20-2003, 07:29 PM

set the fast and the furious aside, it is nothing like that. you can feel a difference for sure, but it doesn't throw you back in your seat like people perceive it. It is just like driving a faster car when you are on the bottle, perhaps something with more than 4 cylinders.

Its not like turbo at all. They have very different power curves.....nitrous is just kinda crazy, and I think it does throw you back in your seat if you spray enough......but its not like F&F.....its different, you gotta try it to get the real effect

I agree that it's nothing like tfatf. I had the zex 55 shot which is like 40 to the wheels and it would definately put me back in my seat when I stepped on it from a stop, but if you're already moving, it won't break you neck. I don't know about a 100 shot? But be careful that shot of nos doesn't break the welds of your intake....I couldn't resist

SlvLude · 03-20-2003, 08:56 PM

yes a 50 shot is more like just a quicker car you feel it but not like bamn. Now a larger shot like 85 etc well lets just say it hits a lot harder especially around vtec range.

My 85 shot.. throws be back... I can feel it hit hard... and the revs climb. but it doesnt clam you in your seat... 55-65 ange you can feel the pull... 75 and above on hell of a difference..!!

preylude22 · 03-20-2003, 10:25 PM

ok, i get the feelin but does the car like swerve or jerk to the left or right, traction loss?

prelude_sh_vtec · 03-21-2003, 10:41 AM

it would if you were using it in a lighter car but the prelude is so heavy. Its the same concept as a motor swap, take a 120 hp ls integra and its slow, but put it in a hatch and its decent. Just like you can feel a 5 hp gain in 2100lb car easier than you can feel it in a 3100lb car. Power 2 weight = everything

Anywho, yea I put a 75 shot pill in my car. I can't get traction in 1st or second gear if I spray. 3rd gear is HELLA fun. And the difference between a 50 and a 75 shot is nite and day. I LOVE my 75 shot. Kinda let's you know how those Camaro Boys feel STOCK.

prelude_sh_vtec · 03-21-2003, 12:22 PM

He was asking about traction issues and if the car would swerve or jerk to the right and asking basically if the n20 would come on and kick his ass. the truth is that a 75 shot on a prelude is nothing like a 75 shot in a hatch, cause its lighter and the 75 shot picks it up more.

NXLude · 03-21-2003, 04:10 PM

My lude goes left every time i spray. And i cant even get traction with no N20....damn fwd

jnkoh · 03-21-2003, 04:11 PM

When I spray my 75 I get massive torque steer,and it does throw me back in the seat a little. It is a huge difference. I don't even like driving my car unless I am spraying.

vipastyle · 03-21-2003, 05:18 PM

You get an adrenaline rush especially in my friends 100 shot CRX. Its soooo sweet. But seriously, F&F made it seem pretty ghey. Although in his rex I get thrown back.

MJShelgosh · 03-21-2003, 10:27 PM

I personally haven't had traction issues... but I always spray at either 4K or 4600 rpms ( VTEC crossover ) I have chirped second and third... but I havent realyl had any pull to one side or not.. and I have an SH ... but I don't think that makes a difference. I did however.. blow through my stick clutch ( with 80K on it ) when I sprayed my first time on the dyno ( 45 shot )

TFAF gave the whole nitrous thing a great campaign... I bet sales went through the roof when that movie came out.... among other things.... but still nothing comapres to the spoll and feeling ( or headache ) of a turbo, thats for sure.

in my experience, with a 55 shot, only the driver will be able to tell its armed... unless the passenger is familiar with how the car feels.

I would agree.... in fact when I was pushing a 45 shot... It took me awhile to feel it and I had to check my readout and make sure it was saying active... and the dyno plots showed a significant gain.. but when I jumped to a 65 and then a 75 ... look out... myself and my passengers could feel it!!

The V8's in the area and a poor porsche boxster could see it!!

i've been in my own ride (turbo lude) and a n2o 99 civic si. Granted they arent identical, and i never had n2o before to compare, i'd definately have to say boost>n2o. I'm not even talking about technical specs or difference in owning costs.

n2o is cool to embarass people, for the stop-light warrior. But when you hit the gas to the floor, feel all the horsepower you lost for the sake of more boost, and then bliss, its surreal. Boost is like a full body orgasm that starts and stops on your beckon call. I'd have to say boost is the crack of the car world. One hit and your stuck. n2o is more like herion ... its good ... but its definately not crack!

Infact, my first boost experience was crazy. The mechanic who was doing some last minute tuning was showing me the car after it being done. He goes:
him> so uh ... seatbelt please.
me>

him> okay. so you remember how it felt when you would lay on it before 3K?
me> *uh-huh*
him> *twap-gas*
me> uh? thats almost the normal pull.
him> yup, thats suppose to happen. Now watch this
me> huh?
him> *twap-gas*
me> *cheeks flap*

him> you like? Its your turn! However, pay me first and enjoy it on the way home *laugh*

All though i can tell you this. Even at double-digit boost, my eyes still dont blur like they did in F&TF. I'm pretty sure i'd pay someone $5/dose for something that did that to me

but then again, i'm not in a turbo eclipse with a 100shot of nawwwwwwwwwz

ps.
Nice title. I was browsing this thread thinking someone got hurt.

I thought the same thing, until I realized a piece of plastic was clogging my nitrous pill. Took it out again, the car would just lose traction right away.

I haven't rode in a boosted lude, but I'd have to say that boost and n2o are probably comparable as far as how hard they pull. There is a dyno in this forum with just a 35 shot (NX) and it pulled 203 whp/197 tq. This is without any fuel management on a car that had 160whp/130 tq on a dyno run right before the juice. Keep in mind that the stock motor will hold a 75 shot, I wonder what those numbers would be at (maybe 240 or so hp/tq

)

ZMonkey11 · 03-25-2003, 04:25 PM

Imagine...a probably 165-170 whp wit the basic upgrades...i/h/e/p. Add 75 whp to that.

You got urself 235-245 whp.
