i have access to reasonably priced gas and reckon it could be fun to have a 35 or 50hp shot on my sierra.

has anyone tried gas? how did it go? should i use a wet or dry system?

you're going to need 2 of the big bottles.

[Gwagensteve]

I've looked into this- I was concerned that with 35's I wouldn't have enough punch for long climbs. This hasn't proved to be the case for me.

I looked at a 50hp shot more than that and you'd want engine work in the opinion of NOS. You need a wet setup or the car will lean out. I was looking at using a 3000rpm rpm switch to arm it and a wot switch to engage the spray. You don't want to hose an engine under 3k- the loading at tdc is too much.

Bear in mind that with 60% more power an an equal increase in torque, optimal gearing is very different when on spray. I haven't looked at it since I've gone G16 because low range would be too low to use it- I'd be all over the limiter in low range 4th, but I couldn't pull high range until I was on spray.

Something to bear in mind.

It's a much better idea than a turbo conversion IMHO, because the engine isn't under increased load all the time, only for very short periods where needed.

that can be arranged

i think we need to see how much gas the 1.3 can take before we get engine parts screaming their way out through the sump or block.

[shep]

I don't have a running 1.3 anymore. If the 1.6 stops I will just get anouther one

how much nitrous is it going to take to get the 1.3 going again.

[zooky08]

Don't no if it's relevant but rett runs nos on his 1.3 in his comp truck

Can I have one? Wonder how long it would last on my 285cc bike

[twitchy]

I wouldn't mind 50hp shot on my TL1000s......... would be fun at about 180

[Shansh]

hope you have a decent steering damper

Yep Sierra motor with a turbo and a bottle of happy gas behind the seats

How would nitrous go on g13ba/g16a on LPG/propane?

[sogone]

Just breathe it all in and pretend.

[SierraDan]

Wouldn't need to leave the house!

[shep]

I have a 35 to 75hp tune able kit on the way. Should be fun with the auto. Might have to run it down the 1/4 mile and see how it goes. Under 20sec would be cool

[BlueSuzy]

A turbo mighty boy does 18's.

You should be safe

That is as likely as you knowing something about anything.

[atari4x4]

are you going to try & do a bit of a stealth install or you're not that fussed? would be cool to have it all hidden out of sight.

[shep]

Don't care where it goes. According to the police it is road legal as long as it is fitted corectly. Is nos rice?

[Mitchie.1]

Pretty sure qld you can have the system fitted but you can't have the bottle connected.

[atari4x4]

yes, nos is rice. being an old prick you might haven not seen Fast and the Furious... i really think you need to see it.



hence my comment about needing 2 of the big bottles earlier.
