Competition Timing w/NOS?

[jwilliams3]

So are you coming to IRP to race?

It'd be nice to finally see that truck run. Keep spinning those wrenches!





Greg, thats a whole lotta juice. Got any pics of the other side? I'd love to see how you got the lines bent around that fabricated intake. Did you do something sneaky like baffle and cut out for the lines?





Is there some way to tell how much Nitrous you can use for the fuel available? Rules of thumb? I've never been into drugs, but it sounds like a trip.

Here is a picture of the line in progress. The gentleman doing this is a little eccentric, but a perfectionist, and a great craftsman. These are solid steel jig lines, and they are now at Industrial Injection getting three sets bent for mine and the other two motors Ray is doing for a few unnamed people on this site

You should have built a Common rail, thats where the HP war is heading! :-laf

What the projected number without all that spray? I predict somewhere in the low to mid 700's..... 400 to 500+ h. p. with nitrous oxide is ALOT of spray, for a diesel. And your running a water/meth system also. It piques my interest to wonder what this motor would do straight up, no additives. And then again with all the additives.

I'd say your first task should be to identify exactly how much power you are going for, and what you are going to use that power for. Twins will require the head studs and o-ringing mentioned above. For instance, a 2001 Dodge we used to have made 58xhp on #2, 740 with nitrous... single turbo, stock head gasket (in fact, the stock head had never been off) an stock head bolts. It can be done.

This is sorta what I had in mind. I'd like twins but not to the point of rings and studs. Not yet at least. If I keep the boost down they will work great with the lower drive pressure and EGT's. I will be using my truck as a daily driver. I'm looking for 500 on the motor maybe 6-650 with NOS (with a progressive controller) so I can hang with the 6. 0's and occasional 5. 0. My last dyno was 496 hp with bd2's, "non comp" pm3 box and no water meth. Is NOS still a bad idea at this point in my trucks life?

Because you can't add additional fuel with the nitrous, like you do in a gas car, you are limited to how much nitrous you can add based on how much fuel you have already. I don't think you can expect to make an additional 100-150hp on nitrous with only 500rwhp on #2.

 

[dougs455]

The 496 was before upgraded box, injectors and water.

True I can't "add" more fuel but wont it burn some of the black coal that pours outta my stacks?

 

[KLockliear]

You are really only going to run the nitrous once some boost has been achieved (and therefore fueling), so the only amount of smoke you should be looking at as to how much nitrous you can add, is the amount of smoke at full boost. With 500hp, I wouldn't imagine it should be too bad at full boost.

 

[dougs455]

I'm gonna hold off on the NOS till I can get a 2nd huffer. You guys got me scared ****less I'm gonna blow a turbo or gasket and I cant deal with that right now. So back to step 1.

Funny how great the common rail is for everyone else but him huh? :-laf
