I've always jumped straight to turbo. Nitrous is so rough on engines from my experience. I'm sure if I fooled with it more I may have a different opinion. This really makes me want to give it a try again. I can tell software has really progressed in 25 years.
Agreed But Ironing Nitrous out is a Blast and a skill not many have , even in Nhra Classes Nitrous RULES over Turbos and Blowers But Defiantly needs the 1000% dedication to getting it perfect and consistent, ive done 100 , 200 and 300 hp shots and the torque seems to be BRUTAL vrs Blowers and Turbos and way less affected by atmospheric conditions changes.

Nitrous is only rough on engines if your ring gap isn't set properly and if you're just using a simple button or RPM trigger to have the hit all at once. With progressive nitrous controllers, you can have an extremely wide power band. They have an older nitrous video where they prove its far more gentle on the engine when a progressive controller controls flow than just using a button. They also prove that setting ring gap for the maximum shot you're going to use is important, because they broke ring lands on a few cylinders. Even better with those progressive controllers, is that not only can you tune the nitrous flow, but also fuel flow so that you maximize the performance gain and not wash your cylinders out. Generally speaking on OEM engines, you can get away with running as much as a 100-125shot before needing to start opening up the ring gap by a few thou.
Test mules are supposed to last, not shatter every test... Why wouldn't you use a billet engine to last a long time... It's made for the abuse..... Literally. This is a year old post but still ridiculous

need to have a way to maintain bottle pressure throughout the entire run, companies like Nano use nitrogen to do that. So you get a consistent gain throughout the power band, and not just on the hit like you saw on your dyno.
@@Just1Spark lol no. You always want to run a gap with nitrous because it runs hot enough to expand the rings to the point where they will butt again each other and destroy the motor.
so i keep my nos set up and ditch plan for centrifugal supercharger which would have required me to change fuel pump carb pulley set up hood clearance and spend 5k or more
Nitrous is fun and simple to add but for the long-haul I'd rather shop for a used Pro charger or blower. You always have the power at the pedal and no refilling bottles or heating them.
What i like about nitrous is that you kinda have 2 cars in one. I can drive my car to work day to day with pretty good mpg and without having lots of engine wear. But with the push of a button it turns from a sporty naturally aspirated car into a race car. Only when I want to. A turbo, blower etc. on the other hand is always engaged and you always have a little more wear. I do get your point though, that’s just my opinion on this. It depends on the car really.
@@proximitybeejay3673 Thats extremely affordable. A 10lb bottle, flowing 125-150shot, is enough for up to 20-30 passes - which is enough for an entire weekend of hot-lapping. You're not going to be using it all the time on the street.
Nice going guys! I plan on adding Nitrous to a Chevy Crate Engine for my Street, weekend Cruiser obs Truck. Do I need to make sure there's goodies in the bottom end?
I'm not trying to be sarcastic but how is the vehicle going to run (street car) with the timing advanced when I'm not activating the juice. Do I have to change the timing back and fourth between "runs"? This kind of sound like deflating the tires for a street light run and then inflating when going to the store. I'll guess and say that Nitrous is just for the drag strip and not for light to light sprints.
Msd box can help by having a retarded function wires to the wide open throttle switch. That means timing can be pulled only when in use. Msd digital 6 is an example of a box that can do this.
Depends on the engine. Modern engines with modern ECUs can change the timing by the push of a button. Now make that the same button that you engage the nitrous with and you solved the problem.

I'm kinda just learning about nitrous and I've been lead to believe that the ring gaps need to be opened up for nitrous, so wouldn't that throw the naturally aspirated numbers off a little from blowby caused by the widened gaps?
I never had nitrous but watched other people use it and some damaged there engines , you should make a show about the true problems with NOS like engine going lean , over cylinder presure , ect .
Yea but that motor was built, how much nitrous can you run in a stock motor, like an LS or 5.0? I know you can get about 1000HP out of an LS with stock internals by boosting it but how much nitrous can those take? The 5.0 coyote question was more of a personal question as I’m thinking about putting nitrous on my 2015 mustang GT but I want to make sure I get the biggest shot possible without risking it blowing up which from what I’ve read online is about 100 or 150 shot.
It clears the lines of anything "non-nitrous" which ensures that when you hit the fun button it's nothing but clean nitrous oxide and instant power. Sort of same philosophy as doing a burnout and "wasting" tire to ensure a quicker launch.
Another reason is that if Ur bottle pressure is too high for what ur tune up is u can purge it to lower the pressure, but mostly it's so u only have nitrous in the line
Basic kit uses a wide open throttle switch or button. Whenever you floor it or press the button it could be on. I have raced a few time using n2o and typically launch around 2k off the foot brake. Stomp the gas and start the spray in my case.
that air fuel ratio is RIDICULOUSY rich. I run 400HP systems at 12.9-13.1 and sometimes leaner. Bottle pressure is what you should be looking at, not bottle temperature
They recognized its running rich so they went back to using a different fuel jet because the plate they used maxed the nitrous flow and obviously gained more power. Bottle temperature coincides with pressure, as they stated at the beginning of the video. Hence why they mentioned bottle warmers which operate based on pressure - pressure too low, bottle warmer turns on until desired pressure is achieved. Even showed the dedicated bottle warmer they used for the video
Freiburger, You are confused about the fuel air ratio with nitrous. The extra fuel is added as a coolant. The manufacturers typically measure the exhaust temps and add extra fuel to bring the exhaust temps to normal when nitrous is applied. You don't need to tune the a/f ratio of the system.
@@tomcelica man that is not good. he also has the vertebrae damage from jumping that wagon and the shoulder/arm surgery from his younger days. Bringing us his hi-jinks and solid hot rod experience over the years is eating him up.
Heating it raises the pressure, so lets say you have half a bottle heated and compare it to a bottle that is full without having been heated and the results would be similar. So to answer your question, yes and no.

Why are you hitting the NOS so late in the RPM sweep?
Less likely to blow it up from extreme cylinder. Generally want to hit it after the torque to keep the rods and bearings happy

What became of the engine you guys were building with the massive unnecessary side clearance on the rods we saw so much hype about?
Ring end gap?

I’m with Steve except with boost , preferably turbo(s) N/A is boring .
What happened to the other two guys that were usually on the show?
I wish they'd bring back roadkill extra
Holdner knows an Ebay turbo will make more power and it might be cheaper than a nitrous kit.
Freiburger getting excited:
The availability is the issue, can’t find nitrous where I’m at
its not low buck when you have to keep refilling bottles. i have a pile of #15'ers , it aint cheap.
By far cheaper than a turbo install. I could refill a lot of bottles for what it would cost to install an equal amount of forced induction power.
@Matt Rodgers yes but there is a point at X amount of bottles where you break even between the two. I suppose it comes down to application and how much usage it will have.
@@evanc6110 i tend to agree. you have to compare the cost of the nitrous refills plus the cost of the nitrous system vs the cost of the turbo and the cost of the turbo install amortized over the life of the turbo. i don't think nitrous is all that much cheaper. not to mention you never run out of turbo. or blower.
If only I could have these 3 guys build me a motor for my C1500 I could die a happy man LoL 😂
these 3 are children, seek an expert like Eddie Carlisle, Scooter Brothers, Forrest Pitcock, they were building engines and winning races before these clowns were a twinkle in their daddies eyes.
@@MasterWitchDoctor
None of them ever claimed to be professional engine builders or experts on anything, you’re obviously taking the show way too seriously. 😄
i'd be more apt to pull a $300 460 out of a junkyard and build it, before paying $6k for a short block
Why won't you show that engine with the massive side clearances on the rods?
Bring back MotorTrend outside the U.S🤬
Spray is the way
“It’s Beef” 😂
EVERY CAM IS A TURBO CAM!!
Can we turn front wheel drive car into rear wheel drive
