Dirk,

I myself consider you one of the best contributors to my favorite corner of the board. Don't let the Diaper section chase you away.

George, we need your knowledge in here more often bud!

and as for Snake, well, play nice or not at all.

I knew what he meant, I was being sarcastic. It really looks like he needs to learn more before he starts doing stuff like this to his car, judging from his post. Also, TMD, ya gonna need more then 1 header...

 

Hey Kurtis,

Thanks for the invite

Now as to the diaper section, one of the reasons I haven't been on here too often is that I tend to get a bit huffy and sarcastic with people who are unwilling to even do basic research. I have been known to do some flaming

I mean really, NOZ??? NO2??? NOS???

I guess my NX system has no NOS, and definitely no NOZ or NO2

What I would really like to see is an advanced N2O section. I've learned quite a bit in the last 3 years, things which I never would have suspected. Even simple things, like how the nozzle angles greatly impact HP, or how much NA power you lose every time you hit the button, or how little many of the Nitrous company techs really know.........

 

Good idea about the "advanced nitrous" forum George.

 

sadly i still dont know why NO2 will hurt my ignition or my rev limiter, can someone please explain this to me...please guys...thanks.....btw i'm really a beginner, maybe after taking some mechanic classes than i'll be able to understand...sorry to bother

 

Kurtis,thanx for the kind words. Glad to know someone likes what i have to say

TMD,it WONT hurt the ignition OR rev limiter. and it's N2O.
Anyway,if you want to add it to YOUR car,make SURE you have a good ignition system and use a window switch. A bad ignition can lead to detonation which will KILL the engine. Also you dont want to hit the rev limiter while spraying....that could also cause big problems.

 

It may seem like a few of us have a hard a$$ attitude, but using the correct terms always indicates you have taken the time to learn a little more about the use of nitrous than the time it took to watch the "Fast and the Furious"........

To be specific on your questions..... adding nitrous to your engine increases the load on the ignition system. It will not "hurt" your ignition system, but if the system is not set up correctly, and "strong" it isn't going to allow the nitrous to produce the power it is supposed to produce. It is very easy to see problems from an excessive plug gap or the wrong plugs. The larger the gap, the better the chance the spark will be "blown out".... no fire = no power. So, you typically reduce the stock 0.50 gap to 0.35". Using plugs like the stock AC/Delco platinum can result in the platinum pucks falling off, and increasing the gap to as much as 0.100". And, the extended ground strap on the plug can lead to detonation problems... so you don't want those plugs. And, you will benefit from a "stonger" ignition.... easilly provided by something like an MSD multiple spark box in the ignition system.

As far as the rev limiter..... N2O won't hurt your rev limiter, but your rev limiter can hurt your engine when you are spraying. The stock rev limiter cuts fuel..... you don't want to do that when using nitrous. So you need an adjustable rev limiter that will cut spark a couple hundred RPM below the stock rev limiter setting, or you need to use a window switch to cut off the nitrous a couple hundred rpm before you hit the limiter. I cut my nitrous at 7,000rpm, and have the computer rev limiter set to interupt spark to random cylinders at 7,200rpm, but my sytem isn't anywhere near "stock".

A good source for basic info on using nitrous can be found here:

NEW TO NITROUS

Hope this helps.

 

thanks a lot guys, i'm very new at this, i'm just a young asian guy who want to get a fast car with a minimum cost, thanks a lot one more time, just one more question, after installing the no2, how much would it cost me to adjust the rev limiter, etc...thanks a lot for the help....i feel very welcome here.......

 

sid,

U need to be able to afford a new motor to go on the juice IMHO.

With that said u r not ready for NOZ.

I HAVE programed or jucie at the track with major sucsess on a nearly stock Z28. 12.6's @ slow *** Fontana! but it is all in the setup and parts. A nice setup is not cheap.

Keep your eyes and ears on George Debski he is the LT-1 No2 Jedi Master!

TAD

 

Yep! do it right and have a plan B ready........and its NAAAZ not NOZ

 

Do you think a nitrous-caused engine F-up would be obvious to the dealer ?
