When I first went to a drag meet and saw NOS equipped cars purging out under the windscreen I used to think it was just water to clean there windscreen before a run thinking they couldnt have wipers coz they would break off at high speeds. LOL

The low grade nitrous used in NOS systems or commercial applications has sulphur in it to prevent misuse. The medical grade found at the dentists, hospitals etc. doesn't have that element - but I think you need a license to purchase the good stuff.

purging is all i want. and i know it will be rice. very very rice but that what im after. for now anyway.

a non flmable gas on a home made system? what type of parts would you need..?

electronic valve and a heap of pipe work maybe

since the install of nitorus is not going to be done properly anyway why not use a cheap alternative like carbon dioxide.

Money is no object to ricers chasing the dream of making their cars look fast hs.gif

Nitrous Oxide is not flammable on its own, however once it is mixed with a hydrocarbon like fuel and an ignition source then you have an explosion on your hands. It works in a similar fashion to that of oxygen in a fire, in that it is the oxidizing agent needed to perpetuate the reaction. It produces a more intense heat and hence more energy is liberated per unit fuel.

hahah, it would be a bad to spray c02 into your intercooler, not only will your car run lean but it woudlnt be as flamable, you would best off putting oxygen into you airflow meter, that would feed into your turbo, effictivly cooling your inlet turbine, and allowing the AFM to read the oxygen that is passed into your engine.

as far as wanting your car to purge, jsut buy nos for gods sake and get a propper purging system.

also purple is ment to be a poofter colour. :)

    • Keeping in mind that for most people this is a week to month long job!
    • Its also worth mentioning that 30 years after it left the factory and god knows how many missed oil changes since, there is every possibility that one or more lifters are ticking because they are sticky/gummed up. To resolve that you need to pull the cams then pull each lifter, disassemble, clean, reassemble, soak in oil and re-install, and they should come up good as new.
    • What air filter are you running? Is it a panel filter in the stock air box, or a pod filter? Is the air filter the type that is oiled?   If you unplug the IACV, what rpm does the engine idle at?
    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
