I was at High tech dyno today fiddling with the fueling on the dyno as my tune was alittle too rich, just on idle chatter about various cars with one of the tuners, your atmo Nitrous+PFC subject came up and coincidentally I see the topic here today.

Very interesting to say the least, good luck with everything :nyaanyaa:

cheers dude, the car is booked in for tuesday for the power fc and everything else to be done

cant wait to see the final result

and Eug - the 1/4 mile time will come to due time........will be done when the new clutch goes in tho wouldnt trust my current clutch with the nos lol

I dont think so.. The pistons cause vacume and hence suction at different times.. the valves will be open to allow the piston to create suction and taking in the bulk of the NOS. Because not all 6 cyl's are creating suction at the same time ther isnt much "comptetiton" from others. Residue may be left near cylinders 3 and 4. But they wont be getting significantly more NOS than the others..

Not sure if this makes sence.. cos I have a feeling it dosnt..

i see what your saying and you do make a point, but the intake chamber is always filled with air/nitrous. i would think that as cylinders 3 and 4 are on their intake stroke - it provides the most direct path from the two intake pipes.

who knows, it's all just speculation on our parts without some flow bench testing.

oh understandable - but your clutch is coming out anyway, may as well fark it good and proper! :)

any sort of trigger will do.

light switch, missle switch, the horn on your steering wheel, etc.

:D:(:D

Cara.. Please PLEASE **PLEASE** dont get one of those wankey missile switches with the red flappy thing!

and you should of mounted the NOS under the front passengers seat!.. :)

It doesnt matter how much the cylinders are sucking, the speed at which it does it makes it almost a constant although resonant flow, if there is more fuel and nitrous near 1 or two cylinders they will get more and therefore you start breaking things.

Regards to engine damage, nitrous done properly is safe, like any power adder your making your engine work harder and hence will wear quicker. Nitrous, N2O breaks down in the combustion chamber into oxygen and nitrogen, while the oxygen provides the extra power the Nitrogen is non flamable and acts as a compresible buffer (like a gas shock absorber if you like) making it no where near as bad as some may think. I did almost 50,000k's on my 25DE with a 75hp wet kit trying to kill it and couldnt.

The stigma about nitrous originated before wet kits were available and people not adding enough fuel for the amount of nitrous used resulting in lean burns and hence dead engines.

Looks great Cara cant wait to see results from the drags. I got almost 14 flats out of mine with a home tuned SAFC and it used to upset a few turbo cars.

ok everyones!

the power fc, and injectors wont be going in until thurs-fri now.

well i have a silver flick on/off switch for the nos, sorry no missile switch GTS4WD, cause i know u really really want me to have one :D

so there is the on/off switch and there is a push button for the purge.

so how foes my nos kit work? well the bottle must be connected (duh) and turned on, the switch must be on, and then when the car hits full throttle, the nos kicks in......and away we go baby!!!!!!!!

:D

and the power fc is a gtt one with the hand controller

yup no extra button to be pushed.

both buttons are next to each next to the steering, basically in an area where it would be hard to see if u were standing next to the car looking in, but they are easy to reach

and with extreme horsepower coming up this weekend ..... i will be shooting my dyno runs i will make sure :P

Cara this is one tough lil N/A she is going to tuff as! i really hope to hear more about this down the track.

i remember how excited u was about the graphics...but nos, power fc, audio, it all coming together really nice now!

can you run nos on the street though or is this only intended for strip and show

it's very illegal to run it on the street. anything to do with nitrous isn't allowed.

no nozzles, no lines, no bottle, no cabin switches, nothing - they will defect you for any of those.

the popo won't give you any exceptions and no amount of mod plating will give you a get out of jail free card.

one of the reasons why many people don't run it.

very cool cara and i can't wait like everyone else for some drag times, but i'll advise you to either remove your number plate or be a little more discrete :whistling:

THATS SOOOOO AWESOME!!!.. I didnt know you could run it in that form of configuration!..

So you have an extra 75hp on tap when ever you need it.. just mash the loud pedal!.. :thumbsup:

How long would a bottle last?.. If you flat chat for a while.. (say at the drags).. do you have a rough idea how long a bottle will last?

hey in melb i though the leagalities with NOS were that you could have it all set up and plummed in but you arn't allowd to have the bottle connected

Same with NSW..

Bear in mind Cara is in SA.. where everything is legal :thumbsup: with cheap imports

forgot about her being in SA. although i did hear that you're not even supposed to have a bottle in an enclosed spot in the car (even a bbq cylinder).

i think the nozzle and lines is a technicality (state depending). even if it is legal, it's up to the booking officer to do whatever he/she wants.

    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
