Hey all,

A mate of mine and i were discussing the other day, Nitrous oxide.

He was telling me that you can run a 50 shot of nitrous and it can be beneficial to ure engine (as it cools down the pistons a bit aswell as the rest), rather than destroy it.

Im pondering possibly doing this to my own car... but would like some opinions first. Has anyone here got a nitrous setup in their car? running stock internals etc? Does anyone know roughly how much it would cost to get installed?

All info/opinions appreciated :(

Hey, coulda told you this before but I think I forgot to. Seen a stock Ti R31 running 50 shots down the drags with complete stock internals. He claims to have done 54 passes at that point with it and it didn't miss a beat. Got some nice low 14s which is good considering there normally people trying to pull a high 15 in stock form!

NOS is the "SHIT"! :)

I run an 80hp wet shot & the HIT is better than Viagra!

When set up propperly is is a safe & effective hp gain , tho getting it right can be an absolute BIATCH..... as those who were present at my first effort will testify.

As a result of this.....only a WET shot is worth doing (wet shot is where the correct ammount of fuel is injected with the nos).

I use Geogre at ADRENALINE for all Nos related stuff.... he's seen it all.

Go the Gas :burnout:

good to hear rep003,

so how much for somthing like this? do you still find it to be safe? I have always wanted to put it on but everyone always seems to say oh but this can go wrong and that can go wrong.

Plus not too mention the pic i saw recently were the whole engine blew up of the drag car when the lines caught fire! the whole bonnet flew off!!

MirKz, i was once into nos as i through it was cheap hp, if you look at the nos website they have different setup for different power lvls, i belived anything over 300hp they requirment you run forged internals.

i belived rev210, uses it in his car, and i think it was something like 100shot and he had good results also

croyden GTR did the same thing, only with his, when he reved and started a burnout, nos thought he was racing, so it put a shot in and had no where to go but up, and lets just saw, the bonnet only just stayed on.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
