This dude I know sais he knows much about rotary's, and told me that Nitrous is very very suitable for a rotary-engine. Is he telling the truth, or just full of BS?

 

Ive read this a few times, and it seems pretty good to me. But I could be wrong. Most people usually screw up an engine (any engine) because they dont have enough fuel to complement the added nitrous.

One day, ... , I'll want to run about an 80 shot on a newly rebuilt NA engine. I'll want to get mine dyno tuned though. Just to make sure that there is a correct AF ratio when the nitrous is activated.

 

He is correct. The rotary is considered safer for use with nitrous since it has an intake stroke on each runner for each rotaion of the output shaft (4 stroke piston engines only have an intake stroke per runner on every second rotation of the output shaft) and the rotary has no exhaust valves: These both highly reduce the chances of fuel puddling, causing nitrous backfire. The intake stroke is also completely separated from the exhaust stroke, further reducing the chance of nitrous backfire. This is the same reason why the rotary is considered one of the few engines safe for true hydrogen combustion.

As long as you keep your tuning in check, rotaries support nitrous very well.... stock short block engines can easily hold 150+hp shots.

 

Hey thats the nitrous guy ^^^^^. I didnt reconize your name till now... good to meet ya. Ill have to pm you with my idea for my80 shot.

 

be careful though, like bigdv519 said many people blow engines from lack of fuel when using nitrous, make sure you understand how nitrous reall works before you try it out, also i'd suggest staying away from thos dry systems, i believe most dry systems just up the fuel presure to ad fuel for nitrous not exactly the most accurate way to add fuel, a wet system will have tuned jets for both nitrous and fuel in amounts that compliment each other perfectly. Also if running a NA nitrous could easily produce more power than the stock drivtrain can handle, i'd recomend a better clutch before spraying more than a 50 shot
