I was looking through Fiid's "Crazy Engine Idea" post and I thought about the engine I planned to build before I went the 6 route.

I was looking at a 6 nozzle nitrous system. Why 6?

I got the idea from seeing intercoolers that were kept ultra cool by spraying nitrous on them. Cooling being the biggest problem with any nitrous application I though about what would it take to cool a T4 w/nitrous... the nitrous itself.

4 nozzles get plumbed into the stock injection stacks.
2 nozzles get plumbed into the stock fan housing after the flaps to direct nitrous into the head chamber.

Stupid?

Is liquid nitrogen as unstable as NO2?

I really like the idea. You try it first and tell us how it works out.

From what I was told, it's very stable. It's simply a carrier of an extra oxygen molecule.



Send me your T4 and $700... I don't have any more 4-bangers laying around.

My brother works at Lawrence Livermore Labs and he and I have an idea for a 914 engine, but we could not tell you about it or we would have to

Codeword: New Clear

N2 = nitrogen - regular old nitrogen gas. make it quite cold and you have liquid nitrogen as stable as brick dust

NO2 = nitrogen dioxide

N2O = nitrous oxide, a nice oxidiant to mix with gasoline - check this out - give it a tug and it pops into half a dioxygen (the ordinary oxidant we mix with gasoline) and N2 (vide supra)

Why waste good nitrous to cool the motor. Run two bottles one with your nitrous, and the other with CO2. My biggest complaint with nitrous is:

1: The bottle runs dry when the speed shop isn't open

2: A four cylinder can't injest enough nitrous to make things really interesting.
