dont think he'll get to 11s so easy, he wont wanna use more than a 75 shot and if he dont have a twin plate his clutch will slip for sure unless its fairly new. good luck and if your going to use nos use NOS brand its the best.

isnt Nos like a huge defect and really dangerous to have in the car...........

.....it's not flammable (as some movies would like you to believe.)

and if you're silly enough to have it hooked up while you're driving around the streets, then you deserve to get reamed. It's quite legal to have the system installed in the car, provided the bottle is only hooked up when you're on the strip. :rolleyes:

The wet kit is the go.

When deciding what sort of power shot you want to eventually use you need to set a total limit of horsepower based on what the engine can sustain comfortably. This is irrespective of nitrous or turbo upgrade. 75hp shot is not your limit necessarily, it is a starting point.

If you believe the standard RB20 internals can handle a power upgrade to 350rwhp (I seem to recall this somewhere but, just take it as an example only). At present you have 170rwhp minus this from the 350rwhp and you have room for another 180rwhp. If you decide the extra power will be added via a nitrous kit then you can use a shot of upto 180rwhp extra.

To provide for this power you will need to upgrade the fuel pump system to provide the total fuel fow equivalent to this power level. A simple way to do this is to obtain a big bosch fuel pump (around $300 or so for something that can flow 500+hp worth of fuel). A clutch upgrade will be needed at some stage if you want a great increase over stock power. Other than that a colder range of plug , a few degrees of base timing retarded and off you go.

It's a very cheap way to have that sort of power level. No ecu upgrade, no boost controler, no injectors etc... Info wise there are a couple of us that have 'hands on' experience with settig up our own nitrous kits. 2rismo, has had fun getting his stock turbo'd gtst into 11's with nitorus, check the 'drag/drift' section.

To get the good times after the power is there you need to have traction. So 'pineapples' for the diff cradle and some nice wide sticky rubber for the back. 11's can be yours with a little mucking around.

this might be against rules, but could you have this hooked for a real track (one with turns :rolleyes: ) so when you come down the straight, give it a little shot, and that's it? Would this be against the rules when racing?

cheers.

I guess it depends which category, but I'm pretty sure its illegal in most. Certainly is in production touring cars and improved production.

Anyway, I'd rather run N20 on the street than have no cat converter :D

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
