could small shots of NOS be used in the lower RPM range to bring the turbo on earlier or perform a little better between 2500-5000rpm?

just a general though and not knowing or experiencing nos setups at all

Im thinking using standalone ECU spare outputs to control it but with the rpm range and how its to be used, im not too sure about.

is it simply nos on/off via electro/mechanical switch or can you implement incremental spray increases/decrease to tie it in with rpm/vac pressure/afr..?

im also thinking the tuning side would be a nightmare between the nos off - turbo on boost rpm range.

anyways, its just some food for thought......

yes a small shot of nitrous can bring on boost a lot quicker.

nitrous is used in drag cars to spool the large turbo's off the line (the ones which do not use antilag) much healthier for the turbo and cost effective as well given that these type of cars only spend a few seconds on the bottle - throttle plate is left open for the remainder of the run so the turbo does not come off boost.

it is not a stupid idea like some people have dismissed.

the tuning side of things is not as complicated as you might think.

nitrous has is an expanding compressed gas and simple thermodynamics will show that this drastically decreases the intake charge and cylinder temperatures reducing the likelihood of detonation.

a wet nitrous system injects fuel as well as nitrous into the intake charge (on top of the fuel injectors). since the oxygen content in combusting nitrous oxide is a set ratio, the amount of fuel injected in a wet system will match the amount of nitrous injected, resulting in no change to the fueling maps of the engine ecu. timing here could be an issue, as the timing maps can be load/boost dependant, but again due to the decreased cylinder temperatures, less likelihood of detonation due to advanced off boost timing. boost will come on and timing will be pulled anyway.

in terms of nitrous control, a separate map can be used if your ecu is advanced enough/has the capability. many top of the line ecu's such as the very expensive autronic and motec do have a lot of tuneablility. simple method is to use a simple position sensor on your throttle/accelerator pedal i.e. at 100% throttle (push switch on the foot well floor) or any percentage of throttle opening (wired into your TPS or other position sensor) to activate the nitrous. a rpm based nitrous activator will result in an empty bottle quickly i assume.

you theoretically could wire into a vac/pressure source, and trigger when your intake plenum see's atmospheric pressure (which theoretically is when you have the throttle wide open or full engine load) but there are situations where this will activate when you dont want it.

target afr is just way too complicated - engines under cruise conditions run lean, on boost, a lot richer. not sure how you'd work this one.

here's a real world example for all you haters (albeit an extreme but you get the point)

"To put it into perspective, the Boostlogic drag car ran a 13.9 @149mph without nitrous, and a 7.86@187mph with nitrous, but we only sprayed for two seconds out of the hole. Granted, that's taking everything to an extreme (GT5591+225 shot) but nitrous makes any lazy turbo into a totally streetable one."

My Rb20 on NOS vs some other engines around these parts.

Had 75 shot of gas and made of peak of 250rwhp with stock turbo.

As you can see not much touches it in the 3000 - 3500 rpm range.

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.

      Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
