mate just try this...... no ine ever said that the open throttle switch had to go on the throttle body...... they tried to tell us that too but we put it on the accelerator pedal under the dash way easy......and remember has to switch on at like 80-90% throttle not 100% like most ppl believe..... and a kind word of advice for ya..... dont ever jump on the gas while going slow or at low revs cause depending on how much gas etc u are running it will have a severe fit and a big backfire....... just my advice dude... your decision weather u use it or not as alot of ppl have varying ideas when it comes to nos.....cheers Jon

Rev - I'm dying to see how you go - should be great.

Depending on how technical you want to go you could put a mirco switch on the gearstick so the nos is only activated when out of first gear. And if you really want to go all out, you could use a comparitor and 555 curcuit so the nos only activates over ~3500rpm, or just modify a shift light :P

Of course you'd have a normal on/off switch to stop the nos from going on at all.

That would make it a little 'easier' to drive.

Oh, and we want pics pics pics :(:)

Yep, the 12 will be without nitrous and stock turbo. As it stands my re-tune should have me on track for a 280rwhp instead of the 230rwhp odd at 4700rpm (9's afr). The extra power I have is plenty to push me over the line for a 12.9 ,even with the razor blade 205's.

The 50 shot , and I'm afraid wider tyres, should put me into low 12's, the 100 shot into 11's.

sorry,

That is relative to the particular dyno I went on. I'd say the stock turbo is still only 300 odd at the motor. The relative increase on that particular dyno to 280HP based on fixing afr and ping issue.

To put it another way: I'll have over 350HP at the engine.

INASNT,

know my way around nitrous. The 100HP of nitrous is fine, just as fine as a 100HP increase with a hiflow turbo. As long as the engine internals can handle the extra power --- regardless of what provides it. The nitrous has the added benifit of correct mixture out of the box Vs new turbo that requires re-map and larger injectors etc.

As I said earlier the 50 shot is for starters, to get things sorted nicely.

The purge kit would be a good idea if I was racing and had a 250HP or so direct port. Keeps the lines 'liquified'. little power shots like mine don't need it.

Bottle warmers are good in cold weather, for the most part Perth is hot enough (except some parts of winter) to go without one.

Driving on the street with it?

No, I can't do that! Thats illegal in W.A.

INASNT,

the system will be in the car (lines solenoids etc...) except the bottle.

The EFI kit has a preset mixture, just change the jet. The engine tuning is basic... Retard the ignition, add a little extra fuel and shift gears 500rpm odd lower than normal (the torque increase is massive).

That's not exactly "tuning" it, is it? :D

Yes, the neatest way is to use an auxillary output as a secondary arming switch, instead of a microswitch on the throttle body/accelerator pedal... Makes it much more stealthy :)

But as rev210 said, with a wet system, the fogger gives perfect fuel for the nitrous shot, so no extra "tuning" is required with a small 50-100 shot.

mallory I think make a nitrous rev controller. you just put in two 'pills' one lower rev range and one upper rev range and it arms the throttle pos switch based on the rpms being within the specified range.

Things like that are kind of like turbo timers, you don't need them but if your a member of AA they are helpfull.

    • I don't like "actual computers" for in car use. They take time to boot up, have OS annoyances, and so on. Arduinos etc are ready to go a few seconds after power on, don't mind being agressively powere cycled, because everything is non-volatile, don't mind being shaken and stirred.
    • As Fred would tell us, it's all about interpreting the rules. It's not a water sprayer, it's a water mister... But everything else you've said, 100%! Even a raspberry Pi would be great, use HDMI out for a display, and add a raspberry Pi CANBus hat to read values out from the ECU.
    • Being a race car, and being in the era of the Arduino, one would think it would take little effort to build a controller to do the spraying based on a real physical measurment. Waaaaay back in the dim dark AS days, JE "designed" (as in, he had help) a microcontroller based intercooler spray system. It watched the difference between a temp sensor stuck on the core and one in the free air in front of the cooler, and if the temperature difference exceeded a (settable) threshold, it would activate the sprays. Thus, it only ran water when there was an actual need for water. If you stop to think about the actual physical things that are going on in that stack of coolers, there's probably at least a couple of triggering conditions one could come up with, and one could probably even run one pump with more than one solenoid valve, to allow water to be placed where it is needed, or at all points at once (if it is needed at all points). We're in the age of science baby. But.... I suspect that intercooler water sprays are on the forbidden list in most circuit classes, no? So only good for Targa type stuff?
    • I'll just leave this with, holy shit, those cars at work are awesome, and this will look wicked!
    • Could you modify this duct so instead it pushes the extra air through the radiator too and not down and out? For temps, I know it's not the greatest idea, but as a bit of a last resort, you could use a very intermittent misting spray onto the front of the coolers/rad. You don't want to be soaking them such that water is dripping off, but a small most on/off so that the water evaporates. That point of it constantly evaporating, rather than being soaked in water, will pull a LOT of heat out of the cooler. I'm literally thinking just the little mist sprayers for a garden from Bunnings. Being in a low humidity climate it will help even more! The other trick if you want to be ghetto is some shade cloth hung in the opening, and keep it wet. Pretty much now it's acting like an evap cooler on a house, but cooling the air you need to use to cool the radiator...   On a topic to think about too though, when air enters through the bumper, is it all nicely ducted from the edges of that opening back at a nice angle, or is it like most cars, and the edge of the opening just stops, and suddenly it's wayyy wider behind that? If it does the later, get it shrouded out at nice angles. When that opening changes too rapidly, it can actually cause a high pressure zone between the front bar and radiator, and limit air flow into that area, which means less air for cooling, as it effectively stalls the air, AND adds to drag...
