R31Nismoid, Same tyres as last time. 99% shagged (now well and truly) Pirelli 235/45/17's but i let them down to 11psi and fried them hard. The 2.001 60' time tells the story. Mark, PM me details when you get em please. Adrian

lol. I am running again next Wednesday @ WSID with the right plugs, better fuel (still PULP) and WITHOUT the two enourmous boxes of Krispy Kreme donuts, 4 litres of water and my video camera on the back seat. Adrian

wreckedhead, your time will NOT go in as you were running C16. Sorry dude Adrian

GAH!!! What? Who? When? No bottle heater, manual purge by holding half throttle with the door open and tapping the switch....erm..... you're confusing Adrian

I don't reckon anyone reading this thinks you could do that. Adrian

Fuel pump is a Bosch unit but not running any more pressure than std (std reg still in place etc). Extra fuel for the extra oxygen to burn is injected through the same nozzle in the inlet. Nothing extra req'd from the injectors. Adding Nitrous Oxide (N20) increases dramatically the amount of oxygen in the combustion chamber that is available to burn extra fuel. Remember, you dont make more power with JUST more oxygen. What?>?!?!?! No. Clutch? Where'd that come from? Almost, yes. Using N2O also dramatically increases combustion chamber temps, prob by more that upping the boost on a turbo (generally) so technically the motor is more prone to detonation. Adrian

RB20LagWagon - Couldn't agree more. My highest ever mph is 116.10. Combined with a 2.294 60', this gave me an ET of 12.970 With a lower mph of 115.45 and a much better 60' time of 2.001, I ran a 12.585. Adrian

rigga, check out how to warm up the tyres below http://members.optushome.com.au/per4mance/...ISMO_sample.mpg Adrian

wreckedhead, saying that mph means nothing in quarter mile drag racing is about the least correct thing i have ever heard said on the subject. thousands of drag racers for about 100 years would beg to differ. dyno sheets mean ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! To answer the previous question, i will speculate that the car is making about 250-260kW @ the wheels. Will check this in the coming weeks. Adrian

The important car was hogging the limelight huh? Adrian

Here is some footage of the 12.8 run earlier that day. http://members.optushome.com.au/per4mance/...ISMO_sample.mpg Adrian

Everybody: If you read the first paragraph of the first post it will ALL BECOME CLEAR!!! It is in English, isn't it? Look. I have been researching the whole nitrous oxide use thing for years now. Along the way, I have come across NUMEROUS suggestions that it is 'better' or 'more worthwhile' or 'not cheating, you cheating bastard' to upgrade the turbo on my/any car. What I'm trying to show is that this is that nitrous oxide use IS a valid, effective AND relatively cheap method of making more power and going quicker. I am not big-noting myself by comparing my 12.5 run or any other runs for that matter with anyone elses. I mean, some people have gone high 12's with no gas!!! The point is this, I have spent significantly less than what I would have in upgrading the turbo to get similar results. End of story. I hope it is a bit clearer now. Adrian

Thanks dude Adrian

erm....

double the juice? are you back on the roids again, huge george?!?! Adrian

I'll post here Adrian

Dude, the one time the photographers take all day to post their pics is after i run my best time.... grrrr.... pics asap... Adrian

Not last night mate. I'm waiting for the time when i run out half track and spew fuel out the back Best run without gas was 13.471 @ 104.56 (2.2 60'). It's a butchered kit that i threw together. Mostly NOS. Wet. If you read the first post it will all become clear.... Jeez, some people.... You just miss the point completely...!!!!! Wrong. Adrian

whatsisname: That's at 100hp. when you use 50 hp you get 200 sec out of a 10lb bottle. oh and wreckedhead, Where was the twin-plate you told me you had fitted for $2300???? you shouldn't be... it's a good time man.... but it's not a good time for 400kW @ all four wheels. is that including or excluding the $2300 clutch and the $2000 in tuning and C16 you mentioned??? And just remember wreckedhead, a standard turbo gtst is less than a second behind you. :/ Adrian

10lb (D Size) bottle = $100.00 = 100hp for 100sec No. 13.471 @ 104.56mph - (2.2 60') Adrian

Maybe you should get a 50hp shot too... It certainly is fun :-) Adrian

Yes. Why do you say, "But thats with NOS isnt it?" Adrian

o. 13.1 12.8 12.9 12.5 all within .41 of a mph of eachother. Adrian

Nope. Let the sh1tty crappy 99% dead tyres down to 11psi and fried 'em till they melted onto the tar... SLipped the clutch till it bit and it bit hard so i mashed the throttle and got all the way off the clutch... pics to come Adrian
