re: ***The Official Nitrous Thread***
hey guys, different kind of question: has anyone used nitrous to cool their intake charge temp, instead of spraying an intercooler or using an intake cooler like this: http://www.summitracing.com/search/B.../?autoview=sku
My other question is how much of a shot would it take to cool an intake charge? Would something small like a 10 shot be enough? My thinking is spraying say a 10 shot would cool the air enough to net a 30hp gain by lowering the intake temps+the extra air from the nitrous. I would plum the nozzle far from the throttle body, after the intercooler. What do you guys think?

it's known that spray tends to create double the power it should in a boosted appbecause of this effect (n2o-cooling+n2o-oxygen).
wich location works best for cooling purposes will have to be tested, you need a fast responding iat sensor for it tough, not the laggy heatsoaked oem-unit.

re: ***The Official Nitrous Thread***
that sounds scary...Would simply making more horsepower put greater strain on a stock engine? or would it be safer to simply just spray down the intercooler or use a intake cooler..hmmm decisions...

i have a question im running a golden eagle sleeve 86mm block with 13.5.1 compression pistons i want to tune it on e85.What is a good shot of nitrous that i would be safe with? Im trying to break into the 11s

my mate ran a 12.4@114mph on streettires with a 50 shot on a mild gsr
who sells a fast responding iat sensor?

Re: Spark plugs
my mates 254whp mild GSR on a 50 shot needed 8's, as sevens where to hot...
if you run near/at MBT on spray, it going to light up 7's on a 150 shot.
8's where even a little to hot on my 320whp stock b18cr, running 10's without a problem eversince

re: ***The Official Nitrous Thread***
okay i'm getting ready to hook up the nitrous setup on my car and wanted to see if you guys thought i was missing anything.
i have the NOS nitrous kit with 10lb bottle, it's a wet setup, i have .036 nitrous jet and .026 fuel jet. 255 walbro fuel pump, inline pro fuel rail, 450cc dsm injectors with resistor box, brke 7 ngk plugs, bottle heater and purge kit and all the wiring and nitrous pressure guage. my question is, is it's a stock gsr motor, will it be okay with a 75 shot or should i just stick with the 50 shot. also do i need a fuel pressure regulator and a fuel pressure guage or will it be okay with stock FPR and no fuel pressure guage. i looked up the jets i got and couldn't find much on them, other than i think that the .026 fuel jet might cause me to run a little rich for a 50 shot. any input and or advice is welcomed. thanks, sonazty

Re: Spark plugs
i don't know what the CR on your ls-vtec is, but 7's are hot plugs for nitrous!!!

re: ***The Official Nitrous Thread***
hmmm i wanna explore water/meth injection and nitrous . seems like a couple domestic guys are seeing good things from the combo. would be nice to run 91oct since that's the highest we get out here and have w/m injection to up the octane. its kinda the same as running a dedicated fuel set-up so i might pass. i wonder if anyone has some constructive criticism.

Re: Spark plugs
where talking about a "50shot"...
it was on a mild 194whp GSR, adding 60whp at peak and wel over 90+whp (slightly overretarded to keep torque down) right after activation. it was running right at MBT across the usable powerband and spot on at 11.9-12.3 afr. plugs looked fine at first glance, further inspection showed that the plugs where slightly to hot. 8's where better for HIS setup. i also ran 8's at 321whp.
i don't get how everyone want's to run a hot plug...i've run hillbilly 10's on a stock B18CR and it ran like stock (had no spare plugs left and got some from a 2000+whp V8 guy)
most people that run nitrous, run rich and very retarded (especially up top). if your not near/at MBT, offcourse it going to run cooler on the same shot. his setup was very efficiently tuned with a nice powerband. it liked 8's tough
my cr is about 12:1 wat do u gap ur plugs to?
don't reduce it until ignition starts having trouble

Re: Spark plugs
what whp was it making(trap speeds)? what was the timing and AFR?

from the top of my head i believe it was 0.035 (at 321whp)

Hey if you run a colder plug, can that compensate for advanced timing?

re: ***The Official Nitrous Thread***
scary, why? the fast responding iat sensor i mentioned is only necessary for accuratly datalogging the efficiency of different nozzle postitions, not for reliable operation.
just spray the damn thing
more horsepower almost always results in a greater strain.
a cooler intake charge enables you to safely make more tough

i had to settle for a zex dry kit that i only got for 150 since i was forced to sell a lot of my stuff to keep above water. anyway i hate zex personally but beggars cant be choosers right. anyway i plan to replace the nozzle for a better one like mentioned on here . now what size main feed line would be better to the point you wouldn't need a purge unit. i hear -4 etc... nylon

re: ***The Official Nitrous Thread***
i ran 321whp on stock everything (inc valves) comfortably.
on more serious setups BIG cams combined with a lot of retard/fuel can create a lot of heat while exhaling.
on a decent tune i would'nt go trough the hassle of SS/inconel exh valve before 350whp

up untill 150hp a 5mm nylon line should suffice, least need for a purge. 4an should suffice for 200+whp. as short as possible pre and post solenoid lines will help also
150 single dry can be a lot of fun AND reliable
