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.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
