Hi guys have any one done a setup using NOS to spool a big turbo.

I was reading on google that this is possible but cant seem to get my head around how the system would work. From what i gather you would need a fuel/NOS injector. But would it be before or after the TB.??

I also read that you would need a pressure switch to turn it on and off like a pressure switch.

From what i gather it basically get rid of lag and can leave with full boost.

Im look for a diagram of the lay out. Does anyone have any links to how it would be done. ?????

Pretty sure it depends what NOS kit you have etc

Everyone I know running it on rb25's has it controlled by the ecu (mainly Vipec) to switch on at 2500 switch off at 4500 ish rpm when Vct kicks in yo for the exact reason you state to take away a bit of lag

No diagrams or anything from me though sorry

I was reading around. Please look at the attached photo. But after reading it and looking a zex kit thats ment to do the same thing. The info i believe said on number 7 to place the fuel/NOS injector after the TB. I thought it would be before. Im drag racing a gtr. Rb26. With a gt42r. Would like to leave with 30psi. At around 9k. Its getting a bit clear in my head and may just buy this zex kit but the pressure switch look weak.

Looking to spool the turbo with trying to cause a fire. But i have heard of many ways that system works. Some guys bypass fresh air and duct it in the runners of the turbo manifold. But lots of guys in the states are doing this NOS METHOD to get boost off the line. From what i hear it works good. Nothing like the old bang bang methods. I just thought i would read up on it before i experience it first hand. I lile to understand how things work in my head before trying them. Check out this link of a supra using it.

Have a look here, it's a RIPS install from NZ...single fogger just before the plenum:

This kind of depends on other aspects of the setup. Forgive me but is the car a GTR like your avatar picture? and will it be a manual trans?

Nos will help you get the turbo going when you're on the transbrake but if you're driving a manual 4WD then just set up launch control on your ecu with a clutch switch and full throttle launch it. Or am I missing something

Sadly i have a manual. But ive heard of guys having manual shift and still using nos to spool the turbo off the line. Using a boost switch to control the injection of nos. No thatd not the car im using in my profile photo. Its a r32 gtr

works killer best mod ever for big laggy turbos. even a 50hp shot can bring a big turbo on so much earlier.

Full throttle switch, arm switch and rpm switch are necessities, a decent ecu should have it there ready to go.

    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers) Replacement of the Valve body (if you removed it) is the "reverse of assembly". Thread the electrical socket back up through the trans case, hold the valve body up and put in the bolts you removed, with the correct lengths in the correct locations Torque for the bolts in 8Nm only so I hope you have that torque wrench handy (it feels really loose). Plug the output speed sensor back in and clip the wiring into the 2 clips, replace the spring clip on the TCM socket and plug it back into the car loom. For the pan, the workshop manual states the following order: Again, the torque is 8Nm only.
