Guest tejas74260 Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 i was just seeing if anyone had considered using nitrous oxide on their carburated z's. ive seen unversal 6 cylinder kits from NOS and i was just wondering if it would be worth it instead of a turbo/supercharger. any suggestions would help. -Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

280z-racer Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 ive seen it used on a 76 NA and it made a lot of difference, it was a 75 dry shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tejas74260 Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 what i was thinking was using a wet injection kit, but drilling my fogger nozzles into the spacers in between the carburetor and maifold, so there would be two nozzles. i would have about a 100 shot, maybe more. anyone think this would work?

Guest bastaad525 Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 If you bargain shopped you could probably put together a cheap turbo setup for as much as the average nitrous kit (about $1000 yes?). But, that could mean a lot of waiting and watching classifieds, slowly gathering parts. I wouldn't do it just because, I want the power to be there whenever I want it, I dont have to worry about using up the nitrous, or fumbling for some switch when I suddenly decide I want to punch it. But, you can't beat the bang for the buck and availability of nitrous. I've been considering adding a small shot of nitrous to my turbo setup set to kick in only at low RPM, from 2000-3500rpm at WOT, just to help the turbo spool.

Guest tejas74260 Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 yeah, i see what you mean by that, but i really wanna stay with carburetors, and everyone knows that SU carbs dont work well with turbos, even though that would be an idea. but if you set up the nitrous with an RPM window switch (or WOT), and a remote bottle opener. you can smoke any guy who gives you the look at a stoplight, and not have to have the heat of the turbine side, or have the reduced cooling of the intercooler covering the radiator. Also, i thought of another thing that might have a cool effect. my N36 manifoldshave the threaded openings for coolant to flow through. instead of having coolant, why not have my nitrous lines plumbed through it before it gets to the soleniods. so when the bottle is opened, the manifold is immediatly chilled and your air density increases, sound like a good idea?

510six Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 I have used N20 on a couple of L series motors both being 3 liter strokers.If you are really interested in seting up a nitrous system properly(It might not be as cheap as you think) PM me. http://f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/sss510six/album?.dir=/15c7&.src=ph&store=&prodid=&.done=http%3a//f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/sss510six/my_photos BTW , the first motor ran a 12.5@110mph on a 120hp shot and the second ran a 10.96@127 with a turbo motor and a 200 shot.There are more options on how to plumb and tune a nitrous system than were avalable to me when I first started.

RunNE1 Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 I don't think you want to spray at anything below 3000 rpm's. Most kits come with 3000 rpm window switches. You tend to bend rods spraying way down low in the rpm band. Have a friend that blew up his old Viper spraying without a window switch.
