yeah it runs, he reved it...its got nuthing the LJ on the trailer behind it goes so hard! 10 sec NA 6cly

kinda stupid being a v8 it would have been betta with twin turbo then it would go betta but hey those ford drivers do silly things like that aye:) im a datsun and holden person so yer but it probally would go fast once it burn every thing from the bottem of the window up off

i dont see why ppl with v8's do this sorta thing,that massive turbo probly wouldnt spool up till the end of the dragstrip, if at all. and im sure that its probly a massive ute pluss the massive engine it wouldnt even go well. i think a supercharger on this engine would go so much better.

yeah but drag cars don't start off from idle, they are usually screaming their tits off boosting right up, it'd take a bit to get to full boost but. But isn't that what Nitrous is used for???

i thought that ppl spray nitrous directly on to the compressor wheel to spool it up??? or am i a dumbshit?

i thought nitrous aka to most young people nos was injected into the cylinder or it ends up there giving a more violent burn giving a boost in revs

thats what i thought tooo, but it could be sprayed on the compressor wheel, spooling it up to suck in more air aswell, then being delived in that air to the cylinder, therefore having 2 benefits, if that works???

i hadnt heard of it b4 but that doesnt mean much

I am sure someone has tried it, but I don't think it would work that well to be worthwhile.
(Nos is commonly called liquid boost)
Nos is stored as a compressed liquid and when it is released through a fine hole it comes out cold and it turns into a gas ( nos is non-flammable) as this gas is compressed and heated in the combustion camber it expands more,(just like the boost effect of a turbo or supercharger) this gas is high in oxygen. And oxygen is what is required to burn the extra fuel that hopefully was supplied to the engine at the same time as the nos.

The reason some turboed engines use nos is:

the engine has a big turbo and to get this turbo to spool up, lots of exhaust gases are required.
until the turbo spools up the engine suffers from turbo lag ( basically its a dog down low)
To overcome this, nos and extra fuel is supplied to the engine so the exhaust gases increase enough to make the turbo spool up.
(From then on the nos isn't required)

lol this would go alright until you melted everything off the top of teh engine, crude design!!!

It looks like a Falcon that was in Street Machine, the turbo was scrounged off a truck and fitted for a laugh as a burnout rig, at it's 1st outing it had some probs but has since become a smoke machine. Whatever turns you on I guess

ok well wile everyone reads this it might be a good time to ask does any one know of a good place in west syd to buy models or have any datsun models they would like to sell like im talking about kits around a skill level of 2-3 as im building a ute now but have encountered some problems like wheels braking off and some parts dont fit

Stirlingmac has beat me to it. This thing is a chuckle chariot. It exists as a joke in the same way as the Roth characters on T shirts that protrude through the roof of various cars with gear levers above their heads. Gross & obvious overkill is humorous.

I would dearly love to see this thing at full throttle on a steep hill with a heavy load on a dark night.
The flame would not resemble any candle that i ever saw.

Another name for NOx is chemical cubic inches.
"NOS" is a trade mark for Nitrous Oxide Systems. This is one of the various companies that deal in NOx systems & to use the trademark as a substitute for NOx means that their publicity machine & brainwashing department have well & truly earned their keep.

Spraying NOx onto the fins of the inlet compressor disc of a turbo is an old trick that does have some benefits. It works best on cars that have a smallish light turbo & use a lot of NOx. The benefit diminishes as the turbines get bigger / heavier &/or if a small NOx charge is used.

would this thing be road legal at all? and its probly obvious but im just curious wat laws would it actually be breaking?

Driver visibility,
Noise pollution (not much exhaust there)
Complience (Mod plate) thats if he didn't have it done.

They are the ones I can think of

People People..

I've never heard so many people talk around the truth regarding N20 or Nitrous Oxide use.

Nitrous is used because of it's increase in oxygen density, when compared to regular atmospheric air. The whole game of turbos is to compress the intake air, and squeeze more oxygen molecules (and allow the equivalent amount of fuel) into the cylinder chamber for combustion. The N20 molecule is much tighter bound than the loose mixture of gases that we call "air".

The cooler temperature of nitrous has very little, if anything to do with power benefit.

Read more about this at your local friendly Nitrous Kit suppliers website.

but wouldnt it? the colder the mixture of the fuel/air/nitrous combation, the more that can get combined in the combustion chamber,? giving greater combustion and power

maybe im off the track.....

i think it's not so much as the cooler the more you get in, it;s the cooler the intake charge the cleaner the burn and therefore the less likliness of detonation

Dattodude,

I 100% agree on the oxygen content of nitrous being the main benefit of producing power. As oxygen is what is required for a good burn.

But I beg to differ on the temperature having little benefit on power.

The coldness of the gas is a by product of it changing state ( from a liquid to a gas )
Although this coldness is a by product it does have it's benifit,

The temperature controls density.
Meaning;
room temp gas has a specific density,
But the same gas when colder has a greater density.
An exaple of this is;
If you blow up a balloon, it will be full.
Now if you take this balloon an place it in the freezer it will shrink and look like it is going down. If now you take this balloon and place it in the sun, when it warms up it will have expanded to its original size.
( this is the reason the nitrous bottles temp is regulated - to keep the correct pressure to supply the correct amount of gas)

Now if you look at Nitrous itself,
Like you said it's molecules are tighter bound
than atmospheric air.
If this gas was colder it's molecules would be even more tightly bound.

So effectivelly the temp of the nitrous when it gets to the combustion chamber controls how much of the gas can be drawn into the chamber. The more gas the higher the oxygen content and the better the burn.

This is why direct nitrous injection is more effecient than a fogger kit, as the gas gets to the combustion chamber with less heat soak and has a higher density.

I have never been to a nitrous website and I have also never experimented with nitrous so I could still possibley be incorrect but I do belive the temperature does have a big effect on power.
