If a supercharger or turbocharger Just basically pumps Air into the engine, then Could you just run a big bottle of compressed air to the air intake for the same effect. or would this just be way to expensive to constantly have to keep refiling ?

 

We figured this out before in the 1st-gen section.

I figured that you'd need to basically have the entire back area of the car filled with a tank pressurized to 400+psi.

Too heavy, too dangerous.

 

Ohh yes, that would explian it, lol, **** well so much for that idea, now i got to think of another.

 

Or, just use NOS.



Oops.. sorry.. with a Nitrous Oxide System

 

NOS = New Old Stock

 

Screw NOS, thats the ***** way for gettin, power and ***** up ur engine over

 

I though of that also (tank of oxygen) but about 10 mins after I thought it up I realised it can't really be done.

 

yeah and the thought of running out of air in the middle of racing or driving. That would Suck! unless you had an Air compresser running in the back of the car making you heaver , louder, and stupid.

 

Get educated, then post your newfound knowledge on nitrous. I will give you a cookie if you can actually make sense and sound like you know somethin.

 

God damn!! some ppl can be such a *****.

I have learned that i am wrong about this subject, N20 when set up right, can be relaible.

But damn next time, don't be such an ***, be mature, tell me why i am wrong, and if ur too lazy direct me to where i can learn more about the subject.

 

Not to pick on you or anything, but how 'bout just don't post as factual something which you do not know?

 

"A big tank of oxygen" is basically NOx. (yes NOx, not NOS, its NOx, get it right people). So, I guess the answer is yes, you can, you just need some nitrogen atoms hanging on there so you don't blow yourself sky high.

 

Thats what the smiley was for man, settle down. There are plenty of nitrous topics on this board.

If you set up your nitrous system in the form of a "wet" system, which mixes fuel with the incoming nitrous, you can get away with it quite easily. The thing you need to look out for is running lean on nitrous. That results usually in a nice kaboom sound, or somethin similar. The wet kit prevents this. You generally dont want to hit it below 3000 rpm's. I know some people do, but I wouldnt recommend it until you know how to launch perfectly, and can stay above 3000 and not bog on your launch.

As an example of what a nice little 60 shot can do for you.......my friend had a 2000 Automatic Hyundai Tiburon. With open air filter, it ran 17.2. After the nitrous install, he ran 14.8's all night long spinning through first gear on drag radials. It was NUTS! If you get it, you will love it.

 

What about a smaller tank, like a scuba tank, pressurized to say.. 3000 psi and then regulated to whatever output psi you need?
I cant think of any practical application except drag racing though... it wouldnt last very long lol

 

Back in the 70s, I remember reading about a top-fuel (I think) dragster that used compressed air in tanks instead of a blower. For some reason a Donovan 417 motor comes to mind, but I can't remember the details for sure. Ask some grizzled drag racer about it.

Was it streetable? Sure-- 1/4 mile at a time

 

Ohh **** sorry man, didn't see the smiley, its aight tho, its all good.

How hard is a say 60 shot to set up, What kinda controllers do i need to buy, or does it all come together, and i tell it When to engage the Nitrous, and when to stop ? Can i set it up myself ? ( i know a good bit about cars, most my friends come to me with car related questions)

Would it be safe to run on a Turbo II, or would the extra exhaust heat **** with the stock turbo's ? if so what mods would i need to get before running N20 ?

Thanx for the info.

 

I mean what else would i need besides, Larger injectors, and fuel pump, I assume i would need primary injectors, cuz the N20 kix in at 3k ? Would i need to get some kinda of engine managment system, like haltech ?

 

Well, you would need a window switch, I think its called. That is what tells the nitrous when to turn on and off. I would not recommend nitrous on a turbo driven car. Some people do use nitrous for an intercooler type action, but, I have no clue about how to set that kind of thing up.

What kind of car do you have, then I can tell you what you would need.
