I say it's a complete waste of time and money. There are a lot of other things you can do to a 4 cylinder to make it go faster without voiding your warranty. All that you'd accomplish out of putting nitrous on a new vehicle is voiding your warranty and having a ton of problems down the road with durability. Not to mention a Ranger or Mazda isn't a racecar so it's just not worth the hassle unless you have money to **** away and you're out of warranty. Put a set of underdrive pulleys, an exhuast, an electric fan, a tuner and an intake on it and it will start up every single day and give you the pep that you need until the 5/60 is done.

my buddy put a nitrous kit on his friends 4.0 ranger SOHC and all it had was intake,dumped muffler, gears and some good hooking tires and a 175shot and ran 12.30s 1/4

id say a 4cyl would be good for 50-75shot...

CORRECT installation, usage, and jetting of nitrous won't have any more of a detrimental effect on the life of your engine than any other major power adder would, fyi.

So many people think they understand nitrous. They don't.

Barrman is correct. With the proper controls of nitrous (most important), the octane, and the spark you can achieve bigger than average power gains.

Now having said that. I'd look to D for what the mechanical strength of the parts are. But at the same time just because parts failed does'nt mean it was a good nitrous / fuel / spark / rpm balance. Ramping nitrous for starters will go a LOOOONG way in keeping a motor together.

**if** you have it all balanced right your first failure would be a piston swelling and then scuffing / sticking in the bore.
Quite often people break rods and think it was too much power. Well.. you gotta define power. Rather I suggest it's huge leaps in power transitions that break rods. Not simple shot size.

Nitrous can be the cheapest way to get pushed back in your seat. My rule of thumb is nitrous HP at half the advertised HP of the motor. Also, stick with the manufacturers suggested jetting. NX has a good tech dept. The can usually specify the jetting for your specific application. They will keep the jetting a little rich to keep it safe.
