Today during another test and tune session, I accidentally came across a very bitchin development involving the nitrous system. This is sooo cool.
I use a 400 shot of nitrous to spool a 91mm turbo. The turbo spools in 1.8 seconds. The timing is such that the turbo reaches launch readiness before the need to release the transbrake. Even on a pro light.
The nitrous shuts off with a map switch.
Today I started leaving on a 3 amber tree, which means more time between when the nitrous has shut down and the time when I need to release the transbrake.
When the nitrous shuts down, the rpm and map begin to drop to a lower level. Eventually, the map drops to a point that is below the turn off point of the nitrous map switch. When this happens the nitrous system is reactivated until the map level is again at or above the turnoff point of the map switch.
This is the cool part. Today, after final staging, the nitrous reached the turnoff point as expected. I sensed the rpm dropping, again as expected. The ambers began to come down. By the third amber, and the point where I needed to release the transbrake, the map had dropped below the nitrous turnoff point, and just before the transbrake released, for a fraction of a second, the nitrous reactivated and caused the car to YANK HARD off the line. It was extremely cool. The result was a 1.28 60'.
It's amazing what you can discover when you play around with things.
