really dumb question...but inquiring minds want to know, Nitrous - WTH Options

[Type 47]

never saw a post about the juice. Just doesn't make sense for a type 4??

If you're serious this book will show you how big time.

That author is stupid "old school" and an absolute wizard.

All his stuff is worth reading...

He's biggest in airflow modifications (head/manifold porting).

He likes to use 30 degree intake seats and his reasoning is sound and based in physics.

Biggest need with nitrous is a really good (oversized) exhaust path which the type 4 is lacking...

Properly done 50-75 hp gain should be possible on a type 4 and it should not badly reduce lifespan.

Main problem with nitrous is that most kits add the full amount of nitrous when the system is engaged hence the need to be 1/2 way through the rpm range at activation.

They now make progressive controllers that throttle the nitrous boost exactly like a carburator. These work great but by the time you get all you need for a progressive system you're at 1500-2000 dollars and you still have to buy the nitrous.

Make damn sure you have a source for nitrous bottle re-fills close by or you will not be happy with your nitrous set up.

When done exactly right (injecting liquid instead of gas) the cooling of the intake charge (100 degree drop) actually pulls more air through the intake than in non-nitrous mode.

The reason nitrous has a bad reputation is because folks don't understand all of the ramifications of using it and if a 100 hp shot feels great then a 150 hp shot should be that much better...

It breaks shit with too much nitrous too soon.

The guy with a single shot 300 hp system will ALWAYS be a full second slower over the quarter that that same system set up progressive.
