Nate1647545505 Posted March 30, 2004 Report Share Posted March 30, 2004 Hello All, Just debating something for a long time now.. I have two options to cool the air from my blower, Nitrous or I/C. I'm limited to a dry kit, since spraying a wet shot on the Teflon coated rotors will cause the epoxy to get all gubadaga. The stock fuel system can only support ~50 shot. That's fine, all I need. So lets start the debate. Werd. Up. Nitrous: -not used all the time, this is good for the car's tranny, as it doesn't like lots of torque. -only will be sprayed after peak of torque curve. to help prevent it from plunging, also brings in the power post off-the-line, so no traction issues should arise. -will be properly fueled and safety switched, hardcore. and I do mean, hardcore. -costly to fill up? never dealt with nitrous before? $=~380$ I/C -effective. delta T shows the 1,200$ unit producing ~70-80F drop -safe, only have to worry about if the pump is working and flowing -fuel rails need to be extended. ad another 300-400$ -no fill up fee! other than coolant. -improves the TQ curve immensely, may make off the line launches a pain, and may kill tranny. $=1,200+400=1,600$. So everyone, what’s your thoughts, opinion's etc. RIGHT NOW, I'm leaning towards N2O, I don't have to play with timing to take advantage of the power, and should get me where I want to be. Thanks!

ridenred27 Posted March 31, 2004 Report Share Posted March 31, 2004 water injection after the supercharger.(distilled water and alcholmix) have seen it used many times with great success.use a hobbs switch or a temp switch or a combination of the two for activation . military used it in a few of there turbo prop planes. ie navys p-3, still using it to this day i think.

Nate1647545505 Posted April 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 That what I was orignally planning on doing. Problem is, factor in Hydrolock, and the spacer for the S/C, and new rails... Aquamist kits for around a grand, I could do the I/C for that and not have to worry about anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1647545494 Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 intercool it nitrous is 40bucks a fill over time the intercooler will cost you less money. what all do you have done to the car? there are far less expensive things you could to make more power if the car is close to stock.

Guest mudbutt Posted April 2, 2004 Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 I have a controller and nozzel that I Payed under $50 for shipped. I will need about $20 more in parts, a tank, and a pump. There is a high volume bosch washer punp that is sufficient for minor water cooling of a 6 cyl. If more is desired, there are agracultural pumps that flow way more than that that you can pick up for less than $200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
