Be careful with just adding on something volatile like that. Use a professional for sure. You may have to beef up your innards to handle the burst of power. While you're at it, would be cool if flames shot out your exhaust too!

For what reasons do you need to put nitrous on your GS? Unless you're going ballz out racing, I'm all for it. You're better off building a different platform, use your Lexus for luxury...just my opinion..

I don't see any reasons why not..

I'd recommend a wet kit, i haven't really put any research or thought into putting gas on my GS, but have had it on hondas.


a few safety percautions could be maybe a fuel pressure regulator, wet kit instead of dry kit, maybe some different spark plugs better suited for nitrious i think people normally use hotter plugs, also you may need to retard your timing a bit.. i dunno, these are things i did to be safer on previous cars..

you might just be able to throw a 100 wet shot on a stock GS4 and be fine i dunno.

I have 50 and as well tried 75 shot nitrous on my car, but 100 shot that's a risk you'll have to take, never know what can go wrong with 100 shots. my advice don't go for it! but gs4 i seen it done before, but good luck if you do.

Acually you would want to run two steps colder for the plugs and he should be with a 100 shot as long as everything else is running fine. Wet kit is the way to go and also invest in a window switch. I have seen the gs4xx take a 125 shot with no problem with a direct port all day.

I dont understand this post. They are both power adders. How does a 10k swap make it ok and a 1k make it not ok.

Because that engine in the 10K swap is built for boost and won't cause any reliability issues (unless the swap is hacked). If you want power, that's the way to go IMO.

You can't tell me that nitrous isn't going to affect the longevity of his engine.

Nitrous has come a long way...I'd say go for it. I personally would do a 75 shot..
