could small shots of NOS be used in the lower RPM range to bring the turbo on earlier or perform a little better between 2500-5000rpm?

just a general though and not knowing or experiencing nos setups at all

Im thinking using standalone ECU spare outputs to control it but with the rpm range and how its to be used, im not too sure about.

is it simply nos on/off via electro/mechanical switch or can you implement incremental spray increases/decrease to tie it in with rpm/vac pressure/afr..?

im also thinking the tuning side would be a nightmare between the nos off - turbo on boost rpm range.

anyways, its just some food for thought......

yes a small shot of nitrous can bring on boost a lot quicker.

nitrous is used in drag cars to spool the large turbo's off the line (the ones which do not use antilag) much healthier for the turbo and cost effective as well given that these type of cars only spend a few seconds on the bottle - throttle plate is left open for the remainder of the run so the turbo does not come off boost.

it is not a stupid idea like some people have dismissed.

the tuning side of things is not as complicated as you might think.

nitrous has is an expanding compressed gas and simple thermodynamics will show that this drastically decreases the intake charge and cylinder temperatures reducing the likelihood of detonation.

a wet nitrous system injects fuel as well as nitrous into the intake charge (on top of the fuel injectors). since the oxygen content in combusting nitrous oxide is a set ratio, the amount of fuel injected in a wet system will match the amount of nitrous injected, resulting in no change to the fueling maps of the engine ecu. timing here could be an issue, as the timing maps can be load/boost dependant, but again due to the decreased cylinder temperatures, less likelihood of detonation due to advanced off boost timing. boost will come on and timing will be pulled anyway.

in terms of nitrous control, a separate map can be used if your ecu is advanced enough/has the capability. many top of the line ecu's such as the very expensive autronic and motec do have a lot of tuneablility. simple method is to use a simple position sensor on your throttle/accelerator pedal i.e. at 100% throttle (push switch on the foot well floor) or any percentage of throttle opening (wired into your TPS or other position sensor) to activate the nitrous. a rpm based nitrous activator will result in an empty bottle quickly i assume.

you theoretically could wire into a vac/pressure source, and trigger when your intake plenum see's atmospheric pressure (which theoretically is when you have the throttle wide open or full engine load) but there are situations where this will activate when you dont want it.

target afr is just way too complicated - engines under cruise conditions run lean, on boost, a lot richer. not sure how you'd work this one.

here's a real world example for all you haters (albeit an extreme but you get the point)

"To put it into perspective, the Boostlogic drag car ran a 13.9 @149mph without nitrous, and a 7.86@187mph with nitrous, but we only sprayed for two seconds out of the hole. Granted, that's taking everything to an extreme (GT5591+225 shot) but nitrous makes any lazy turbo into a totally streetable one."

My Rb20 on NOS vs some other engines around these parts.

Had 75 shot of gas and made of peak of 250rwhp with stock turbo.

As you can see not much touches it in the 3000 - 3500 rpm range.

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
