I have see multiple guys blow there motor with nitrous.


Diesel motors? Anybody we may know? I can only think of one time anyone has claimed their motor blew because of nitrous and not the power created by it.

Nitrous is just more air... so unless you're doing something really stupid with it, I'm not sure how more air is going to blow up your motor. I guess it could do some damage if you don't know how to use it.

I just bought a SCT X3 from smokinstroker to replace my chip. And as for the nitrous Ive seen one guy fuse a piston to the wall because it was to lean and another snap a rod because it was to much power. I just want to stay away from the spray. I already have one tank that i have to fill I really dont want another.

It's hard to mess up on a diesel as far as leaning it out. You start with a small jet and work your way up, when it starts losing power, back down a size or two and you're good to go. All you really want to do is clean up the fuel that's already there. We use dry systems too, not wet systems like a lot of gas cars. We've already got the fuel, just need the air to clean it up.

Rods are good to about 700-800hp on these from what it seems, at least reliably. They've been pushed to more, but I wouldn't' count on them lasting.

Regardless, it's not a necessity for your build. You'll like the SCT, it should already be a big improvement.

Do you ever plan to go with a different charger? You might be better suited to a 155/30 or something along those lines if you're only changing wheels around. No point going with an injector that you'll never clean up, otherwise the tuner just pulls fuel and there was no point in getting the injector of that size to begin with. A 175/75 and a MTW stage 2 or something similar would be a good setup.

Well Im going to have to replace my injectors soon anyways. So i thought I would go up in size. Would a 175 be to big for just a turbo wheel? Would i need a bigger turbo?

For me I would go with bigger injectors.. Who cars if the tuner has to pull fuel back. That way you also have room to go add more fuel later down the road if you decide to go bigger...

Just a thought. to many time people limit the injectors size because they think they never will go bigger. then later down the road kick themselves for it when they have to pull them back out for bigger ones..

I can't disagree with that at all, but I see no justification in buying the larger sticks when all he's planning on adding is a wheel to the current turbo. Some people are content with that though. If he does think there's a chance he'll want "more" later down the road, then heck yeah, have at it.

Will going with just a turbo wheel and injectors get me top 500hp or do you guys think Ill need to go with a bigger turbo?

I've never been a fan of simply changing wheels in stock snails....go with a diff turbo and injectors ..

Pmax and 155/30 or 75% will get you where you want to be

I'd still be surprised if you broke 500 consistently with only 155/30's and a p-max... It'd be close, but I doubt it'd be 500.

175's would be closer, 190's would surely do it.

Check the sticky at the top of the page, 400-500hp for 6.0's, basically a how-to on what you need to get that power, pretty good write up.

That's pretty good. Uncorrected or corrected? What kind of dyno? Any track times? Should definitely have the fuel for it, I bet that stock turbo wasn't liking life though haha
