I have seen one about a year ago on piston-heads saying its running nitrous (running around 550BHP), however on Subaru's I believe its easier, more reliable and cheaper to go for a bigger turbo with supporting mods rather then opt for nitrous. Will be good to hear views from someone who may have tried it out tho

Wouldn't really recommend it on a near standard car unless it was a very small shot, even then theres a whole host of things I'd do first before looking at it.

My friend ran a professionally installed NOS kit on his 350Z, standard engine. Last week the engine blew on a track day. Until then it was pretty quick mind

Running Nitrous is possible on any internal combustion engine.

.....but only if the engine is built to handle it........

otherwise..............! Nos itself cannot damage the engine but improperly tuned or setup vehicles will not appreciate the wonder gas
