Sean Kirk from Canada has (or had) nitrous on his modified Mikuni U20 with good
results. He could challenge most anything he wanted. Drawbacks involved always
having to fill bottles, space (bottles usually go in the trunk), provisions
necessary for increased fuel needs (electric fuel pump, improved ignition, lots
of other stuff that Sean would tell you about). Sean did it right, in that he
o-ringed the block, modified the head, did head studs, etc. Most people who do
nitrous end up blowing up their motors, as they don't spend the time and money
necessary to prep the motor. Then, when they like a little squeeze, they start
liking a little more squeeze, and pretty soon the engine says "No more squeezen
me!" and things break. Power costs, no matter where or how you make it. Last I
heard, Sean was selling his motor and doing either an SR20DET or a KA24DE with a
turbo. I look forward to blowing his doors off with the VG30 Turbo next year...
heh heh heh.
