Not heard of any Nobles being run with the nitrous, probably because with the turbos you can make them rocket ships without it.
Even if you wanted to, you'd need to spend all the money strengthening the engine/clutch/gearbox etc anyway to take it, and you'd be as well run a low/high boost set up to suit.
You thinking about doing it?

Nitrous is such a disappointment, there's no worse feeling than coming off the nitrous after a 1/4 mile sprint and then driving under "normal power" again, always felt like my engine just broke 
I used it a lot back in the day, I wouldn't recommend it without at least a forged bottom end and a strengthened box.

If going for more than 420lbft it's wise to have the gearbox strengthened with shot peening/ upgraded bearings and cooler (£1800 ish) from competition transmission services then clutch is a helix paddle clutch and your pressure plate upgraded, (£350ish) plus a fresh release bearing, (£150ish)

I'd suggest that will be in short order if you fit the nitrous now. You may want to consider a progressive system as it would help reduce the "shock value" of an instant 150Bhp hit.
I say 150Bhp as there would really little point having any less as 150bhp can be found relatively easy on these cars and you won't need to keep filling up on the laughing gas.
