is NOS ok for the engine though after sustained periods?

like short shots here and there are probably fine, but i've heard it kills the engine after a while unless the engine has been specifically built for it..

true or false?

its like winding up the boost gordo, the harder an engine works quicker it wares out obviously, same with nos, nos seems to have a really bad stigma asociated with it, but yeah its not that bad when used in correct proportions.

ok, i think i read (could have just been an uninformed post) that its the chemical composition that eats away the piston rings or vavles or something.. but that could be just myth. just curious..

depends how its tuned too i suppoose

yeah james, thats it really, yeah its the ones that were on the counter. No N2O is its inert (sp) doesnt eat nething, Nitrogen not sure ill find out (looks for last years chemistry books), oxygen, well that one definately doesnt eat nething.

there was a thread on boostcruising (of all places) and some people were discussing why not use pure oxygen instead of nitrous

but i think it was concluded that the oxygen plus the nitrogen's cooling properties and the fact that nitrogen carrys oxygen as well meant that nitrous was better than pure oxygen

and theres a bogan in a v8 strappin it up my road

yer..probably a myth.. its probably just detonation caused by poor tune that causes probs, then they blame the nos for destroying their engine.

ben: good luck with the loans, but remember, every loan you apply for goes on your credit record. Basically other banks in a way use this to assess the loan application. So the more loan applications you are refused, the less likely you will get one.

A loan of $12k is also a lot for a young-ish guy with no previous credit history, and you would definitely need a fulltime job and around 3 months of being there. Just wait, you will get it..

There was a lot of waiting before i got my r33..

    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
