Forgive my ignorance but you mentioned that Nitrous is 50% O2 which is why it releases more energy upon combustion. Well has anyone tried PURE 100% Oxygen before? Is it even safe? Again this might be a stupid question but I just woke up and my mind isn't fresh yet

 

Formularx, pure oxygen will result in a combustion that is too hot for any motor to tolerate. Thus the reason why the nitrogen is needed to keep the temperature down. Anything richer in oxygen will melt the top of the piston and result in complete engine failure.

 

BlueS2k3, what device are you running to retard timing?

Chris,

greddy emanage for the timing control. I have it tied into the ignition and the injectors. I am using the msd window switch too for the rpm engagement. I will also install a NOS maximizer or progressive module becuase I can not control the car when the nitrous hits. That goes in prior to changing to 100 shot.

 

Thanks.

Chris C.

 

yes and no. you can puddle with a dry system. If you intake manifold doesn't distrubute evenly then it doesn't matter if you have dry or wet. A dry system can puddle a big wad of nitrous into one chamber and boom!

 

Italianbucwheat is absolutely correct. I have seen that on another honda model before. It will then accummulate in the chamber ontop of the piston and then once ignited will probably send the rod and piston right through the block. A wet system is actually safer than a dry due to the introduction of fuel which would help create a more controllable mixture. By the way Italianbucwheat, what setup are you utilizing.

 

I have the NX Express wet setup. Not direct but with the shark nozzel. I usually spray 75 shot. I have the bottle heater, rpm Window , fuel pressure cutoff, remote opener, dash mounter pressure guage and a bottle blanket

 

IBW,
are you happy with the setup and any stories to tell (street encounters) or track times. I have yet to run my system to its potential and just wanted to guage how the S reacts. Thanks

 

blueS2k3...thanks for the reply. It makes sense now that I think about it but I was just thinking logically earlier in terms of oxygen content.
