Just make sure when fitting kit, if you get any leaks to breath them in.

automotive Nitrous has a sulfur compound in it to discourage you from having a sniff.

Butters,

I reckon it was the cookies you ate an hour before that had you laughing, cause a): you have to breath in a whole lot of nitrous to start laughing and B): the sulfur compound would have you throwing up well before the laughing began.

Hi Rev210, very interested to see what sort of results you get and how difficult the install is.. doing a little more reading (as there seems to be a lot of myths about NOS and what it does etc), and found this bit of info on a UK NOS specialist site:

Will nitrous work on turbo I supercharged, tuned or 2 stroke engines?

YES! it will, as nitrous does not know what kind of engine it is entering, and on these types of engines the power output on nitrous almost always exceeds the theoretical power input calculated on the amount of nitrous used.

Methinks you are going to see some serious horses out of this if it bumps you MORE than 100hp :P

Hmm.. pity its illegal for street cars.. but I assume its not illegal to have it hooked up as long as theres no bottle..

Good luck!

Conrad

Rev210.

It's only "rumored" to have a poisonous gas. Only reason is to stop people inhaling it. Speak to the guys that fill them at BOC gas and they'll tell ya its 100% pure NOS, Medical grade.

Well thats what we got "told" anyhows.

I can tell you to(from personal experience), with your head in a boot and a leaky NOS bottle. You dont have to inhale much to start laughin. Its very effective stuff.

OH. I dont really recomend in-haling it either. Was having a joke :uh-huh:

yes paul thats what i was thinking, any sign of anything to do with nos, whether it be a little tee piece or braided hoses with the nos logo on it is illegal i was pretty sure of that it dun matter if you don't have the bottle or not, no matter what you still got evidence of using nos :D oooh yeah make sure you don't crash whilst using nos, any finidings by ur insurance company that there is nos in ur system and they'll tell you to phuck off :) just a lilttle reminder

adrian :D

You the first SAU perth person with nauz???  Well done.

DO a instructional install page on the net with step by step pictures, that would kick ass.

Well done.

Greg.

Well done REV,

Now we can run NOS together hehehe (we will need new pants each time though)

4OrCed,

I have been running NOS for awhile now :burnout:

:D

Rev210 - so its all fitted in an working? Whats sort of additional thrust is it giving you, 'seat of the pants' style?

I have read that NOS provides very large torque increases... I am not a full bottle on the relationship between Hp and torque, but it must feel awesome when it kicks in, or is it more progressive than the movies will have you believe? :)

Hmm very interesting... I think I need to sort the rest of the system (FMIC, ECU, EBC) before I go down this path :(

slayer,

The bottle is not filled and I have still a few electrical points to finish (the throttle mounted microswitch). The finishing will take place in a week or two.

Nitrous comes on when it's 'armed' and then the throttle is wide open, regardless of the revs it then adds 50HP all the way through the rev range. So if you are at 3000rpm for instance it will add 50HP. 50hp at such a low rpm is a massive increase in torque. 100HP even more so. With these kits you quite often find that on something like the RB25 the HP setting will result in 20% more power than the jet size (not always the case but quite often).

Slayer,

The other way is to use a MSD window that is set via 'PILLS' at certain rev limits. Once the 'armed' switch is made the NOS comes on at a per determined value eg 3500rpm and then shut down and 6300rpm. Mine also has a timer so that if it reaches a set time eg 2-3sec it will shut or whichever is first. This is also used with a set fuel map and retarded ignition map which is selected to retard the timing (stop detenation) when using NOS. The big killer when using NOS is that it creates and HUGE amount of HEAT.

The wet system helps in cooling by using fuel to cool the cylinders down.

That should make it as clear as mud heheh but I hope it helps.

Danny, Have you used your NOS on the street?

No, never on the street, just tests on track and certain back roads, it is very scary stuff and Im always worried about the engine going bang. But it is very hard to do testing as there is not many places over east that will let you on the rollers to do set ups (it is an insurance thing). I get really worried about heat as once the NOS is 'hit' there is a raise of about 20c just in exhaust temps along. So unless Im know that 'something' is on I run around disconnected. Are you thinking about a set up paul??

:uh-huh:

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
