Performace Unlimited in Welshpool - 9458 1288

They supply and install Edelbrock nitrous

It's not hard to install though, and nitrous comes with the guide to install - I mate did his nitrous, and then you chuck it onto a dyno and correct it :P Saves heaps

The trev shops like Chris Mills and and A1 etc. will run rings around most, they do nitrous installs in their sleep.

If it's not a direct port system, the kits are designed for semi-morons to install. Tuning can be done on the dyno but, most basic setups are jetted 'spot on' with apropriate fuel pressure and supply.

Shop around. For $2k or less a properly set up kit can be had.

Jon...

ok as far as I know, you can have installed in the car but can not be connected up, if cops knows the fact that car carries NO2 BOttle, then they will check it for it. but they dont know what they are looking for? then they dont know nothong. simple as that.

you can get yellow but I dotn think cops cant charge you for it but if they do anything they'll give report to EPA... which then EPA will issue you fine upto $50,000 for the environmental Law as No2 gas would be way above the legal limit in case of accidental release.

over pits? I dont know depends on engineer.

you probably ask danny from here who owns No2 system in his R33

This is a very good thread to be reading as i think NOS has a lot of 'unknowns' can any of you guys answer these questions.. preferrably people who are DEFINATELY sure of the answers and dealt with it themselves... rumours will be the death of me:D

1. Is there any damage that can be caused from nos?

2. DOes my ignition timing have to be changed?

3. Do compression ratios have to be changed?

4 if i am running about 280 rwhp and 12psi boost will i need forged pistons or bigger anything to install nos?

5 Will nos create wear and tear on my engine

6.can i still have it as my daily driver or will it stuff up the longevity of my engine?

7. Any side effects of NOS?

Hehe... good questions 25GTT - I was actually pondering those too! :)

As far as I know, NOS can damage your engine and can also decrease engine life because you are putting it under a lot more stress (just like increasing boost to very high levels I guess). Having said that, getting a system installed that only gets used occasionally and with low shots of NOS you should be fine and it'd be a whole lotta fun!!! (plus if your engine goes, it should be fairly spectacular! :( )

Cheers,

Thanks for that dude!

I guess it doesn't sound too bad, mentions don't use nitrous below 2000rpm (but you can get a sensor that will make it only work above 2000 rpm) make sure your car is never running fuel mixtures lean, too bad if my SAFC died on me whilt using nitrous.. take some happy snaps of my engine on fire!

Hmmmmm doesn't mention anything about compression ratios... i thought this would have to be changed or something with turbo cars..?

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Appreciate the feedback. It is street car, but not a daily. Last week I got a quote from a good exhaust shop for a decat, one which is bolt-on, bolt-off to be easily replaceable. I got quoted for around €150. I usually do push the motor, but I wasn't in this case to make sure that no damage is done until I get the cat sorted. I think it's best to also ask the exhaust shop for the other option and see what they can do. If (big if) I were to decat though, would it be best to tune the car or would the stock ECU handle it? As far as I know, the stock ECU is not tunable and that would require additional purchases.

      As above, definitely bash it or get it replaced with a high flow unit.

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

      By Duncan · Posted

      Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
