So, I have a RB26 powered by GTSS. I bought an AEM water-meth kit but seeing how cheap NOS kit go for, I was wondering if it would be safe to run both? Is there a risk of fire (explosion when mixed both) ? Is the NOS very hard to tune on the dyno?

Anyways, let's talk about it haha!

Id say one or the other... I'm not a fan of nos or power adders that regularly need to be topped up, so maybe I'm the wrong person to be giving advice.

NOS is heavily illegal on the street, but more to the point why do you need both? There's plenty of other ways to make power than using both at once.

First off WMI has its place but I realy don't like it... especially on a 26 as you won't get even distrobution with a single point kit.

Sell it.

Any advantages of cooling from WMI are negated with the use of N20. Nitrous oxide has fantastic cooling properties as it expands into the intake.

A correctly set up and installed nitrous kit isn't cheap... Think 2k all up. And don't even think about buying one of the cheap kits.... they only end in disaster.

By the way, nitrous is an inert gas.... it's not all fast and the furious- naaaaaawzzzz and it's gonna blow. It only serves as an oxidiser.

I'd suggest reading some of the info on http://forum.nitrous-advice.org/index.php

Cheers

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      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.
