talk to Kelu....he already tried the Nitrous way before.......

I am not sure if he was happy with it or not................but I do know that he is going now with EFR turbo upgrade.



if you go with Nitrous route.....I'll still keep and use the water/meth kit

And to add, if you'll go NITROUS +  Water/meth kit...........I'll run pure METHANOL.

The nitrous will already cool the air coming in.....so that kinda eliminates the need for the "water mix" that cools the air.    

Running pure methanol, will raise your octane level a bit....to prevent detonation.......

No point to use meth with nitrous for cooling down the intake flow. Nitrous cools 10 times better than water/meth.

Nitrous oxide boils at -129°F and it will begin to boil as soon as it is injected. This can cause a 80° or so drop in manifold air temperature. Now if we are dealing with say a 400 hp engine, we can see well over 30 hp gained from the cooling effect alone.

I would use methanol as fuel for nitrous jet (paralel tank as Antonio's Nitrous Express one) which will increase the octane, in this way no need of retard timing is required when spraying nitrous.

In combination with a progressive controller, a nitrous spray would be  :drool:

P.S. My heart still belongs to nitrous  :D
