hey guys i have a 2000 nissan frontier and i am looking to spray it with nitrous (be gentle ha ha) well from what i understand the pistons are the weakest part on the vg33e. Does anyone make an aftermarket pistion and rod that would hold up against the extra heat and power created by nitrous?
As much as i would love to supercharge my truck with one of thoes sexy aftermarket superchargers im a poor college student and cant afford it. I am only looking to spray a 35 or 50 shot. nothing to extreme just something that i can have some fun with. My truck does have 100,000 miles on it. about 80,000 of thoes miles were very easy highway miles. I take really good care of my truck. its a little dirty but i have changed the oil religiously and at 97,000 had the timingbelt changed and a NEW water pump installed. Im not sure if nitrous might be to much for my engine at this stage in its life. But with a block rebuild with stronger pistions it would pretty much be a built motor. Well your guy's help/opinion would be appriciated

A rebuilt motor/block plus nitrous would be interesting to see. The cost is going to be up there, though, and it's the ring lands on the pistons that are the weak link specifically.

I'd put that $$ into suspension mods myslef. But hey I do want to here what the outcome is on a NOS'ed frontier.

Something I've wondered lately is... how much nitrous do you have to inject just to get the oxygen level up to where it would be at sea level? It seems like until then you're not putting any extra strain on anything beyond what it's designed to handle.
