Nitrous Kit fitted, Engine tuned for 12's without it?

[rev210]

Finally finished the nitrous install today. Had left it since I was over east for work but, wired it up today.

Next is the bottle fill for the strip based fun.

I have tuned the car nicely since solving the ping issue and hopefully next outing to the strip will see a sub 13 without gas and a low 12 with it, then again if I'm using the 205's maybe not

My realistic aim is to improve the mph with the 205's on as launching off them is tricky.

Might not be too far behind you dave once my ecu and turbo is fitted

[rev210]

geez mate with that turbo you'd want to be in front even if I'm using the nitrous.

[rob77]

bleh... it aint that a big turbo

[rev210]

only got a 50 shot so I reckon you'd be safe

[Roy]

Why the reluctance to fit 225 or anything wider grippier then 205s?

[benm]

Yeah I agree grab -atleast- some 225's on the cheap just for the drags. Your shooting yourself in the foot here.

[EnricoPalazzo]

Revs cheap

[benm]

Nah Rev just likes to do things the -extremely- hard way (which is good coz it costs less).

[WazR32GTSt]

i think he is trying to see how far the car can go on as little mods as possible... not everyone wants to go and get 2 sets to wheels just for certain uses...

[Roy]

Wouldnt 225s go nicley even on stock rims. It seems he has optimised everything excpet the size of the rubber on the original rims that can still be used everyday. Unless of course he is waiting until the current rubber is cactus.

Its good to see someone with the patience to extract the best out of what Nissan gave the car.

[Jay95R33]

Yes - 225's go well on the stock rims.

Actually, 225/50/16's are listed on the factory tyre plackard as an option.

[rev210]

The 225's would be good but, as mentioned I'm a bit cheap. It's my work vehicle so I've even bought the cheapest 205 tyre brand I could find .

If the 205's defeat me I'm not going to be too cut about it, I still have a mph to look over and pass to the new owner of the car. I'll change the rears if I have to do 12's to sell the car and the 205's stop me.

[rob77]

Worse case dave, you can come down the plex with me and borrow my rear 225/55 dunlops

[rev210]

Nitrous is on, tested and tuned.

The 50HP shot is most enjoyable. The car pulls like a bastard.

I have a set of 100HP jets on order and a 'soft plume' nozzle to replace the fogger 2 nozzle system I'm presently running to allow better atomisation and distribution.

The 100HP kit will be scary stuff, from the info I have from another RB25det user of this size kit, it translates to around 120HP extra at the tyres from his testing of the same kit.

[benm]

I can't believe you are still only using 205's.

C'monnnnn do some 1/4's I wanna see you do some low 12's.

[rev210]

benm,

you know I like the 1/4

The 205's make for an entertaining ride with NOS activated. The wheel spin from crusing @ 60kmh to 100kmh 2nd is hillarious.

[MotoX]

rev210.

ive to 17x10's with 255's on them, and my diff is playing up. (one wheeling form drifting)

anyhow, i run a 60' time of 2sec flat.

if you got some fats you will prob be in the 12's

[rev210]

MotoX,

yep a 2.0 as opposed to a 2.3 would have put me in a 12.9 or better.

I might get another R33 and repeat the experiment, this time with some good rear tyres.

[benm]

Or you could just get good tyres for your current R33
