Default NOS/SC question about RJ's ride

In the movie the fast and the furious, the S2000 (RJ's) uses NOS but his car is equipped with a comptech SC. To use the NOS kit, did he take off the SC or did he use both(possible?)??

not sure about the specifics of F&F car, but yes, it is very possible. turbo and NOS or SC and NOS.

A couple of red buttons on the steering wheel does not a NOS system make. At the time of filming I don't think he even had the SC yet.

Creative camerawork can make anything look fast - remember Herbie the Love Bug? Of course the fact the S2000 was racing a Jetta does make it a bit easier...

True, the car wasn't SC'ed yet, in fact, I don't think the SC kit was even out when the movie was filmed.

I think he wanted to show off his car! There's better S2000 on this board
but still RJ's car is kick ass.

if you think about it, it could actually be very possible to run nitrous and an SC. A sced s2k puts down around 280 to the wheels, a turbo s2k puts down around 330 to the wheels. So the turbo s2k is running fine. I think an sced one could handle a 35 shot without a problem maybe 50 but I'd say go with higher octane fuel and more fuel. the nitrous should make a good amount of power with the sc. I think a 35 shot is very possible on someone like wes's trim. The only thing I was wondering was would there be any way you could moniter it and make sure your not running to lean? Possibly a very accurate A/F gauges or EGT gauge?

also if anyone is actually interested in doing this you could always talk to jon stuart (no one know more about nitrous than this guy) by calling http://www.nitrouswarehouse.com i'm sure he could give you a good answer on if it would work or not.

I figured someone else would mention this, but they didn't. An ex-member of this board "Larry@bodywerks" had/has a SC/NOS S2000. He was not interested in discussing his setup, he wanted to be the fastest S2000 in America.
