kzscott........im convinced that you can make anything work.....
many say.....well if you can make x amount of hp with turbo then you
could do the same with nitrous.........
probably.........BUT.......where are those people proving this out...??
imo...... hp isnt hp..........
ie there have been plenty of folks saying they can make 4-500 hp on 1300 cc
with nitrous...progressive etc.......havent seen them on the salt yet for some reason...
there are some quirky things that happen with large load of nitrous relative to the base
hp of the engine in normally aspirated form..........
imo........namely........taking something that is coming out of the nozzle at around -270 F....
going through phase changes from liquid to gas.....and trying to integrate it into a manageable mixture with air...and fuel....
and trying to form this mixture in the confines of an intake port in close proximity to the intake valve
and combustion chamber.....
what kind of "slurry" do you suppose is making it into the cylinder......the fuel droplets from a typical
nitrous nozzle are huge....abit better of course from fuel injector....but what happens to them at
-270 F in the intake port......especially at those relatively large loads I was speaking of..ie at O2-Fuel
loads that produce 3-4 times the hp of the base engine.....
then add in some...."water".......
all I can say is good luck.......
imo ......at much smaller loads of nitrous........survivability is infinitely more attainable....
its just tough for some folks to live within their means.......like our country......more is better and too
much is just enough.........
PS....and stainless....isnt it interesting how you can find the bending point of a rod with nitrous...
but then nearly double that nitrous hp with turbo and same rod stays true......
guy makes some great points imo......you can get real involved quickly with abunch of nitrous control
garb....lots of electrical dohickys....than try to control yet more liquid flow stuff for water/methanol.....wow....
NOT at all saying this cant and shouldt be done....infact the more naysayers...possibly the more reason to go out
and pursue it.......so what your made of......be a pioneer.....many of us will be watching......
