how do these cars react to nitrous?

[liv4gnz]

i havent really heard of turbo buicks running nitrous or pretty much and turbo car?

is there a reason they do not need the nitrous or is it very hard to tune it?

whats your inputs on turbo nitrouesed car lol?

just wondering not looking to doing it though...

NOS tends to help a car spool faster when it has a big turbo. These cars are tricky enough to tune without another power adder.

Nitrous worked awesome on our stock car in 86 (11.9's) ... BUT with the new Alky technology out there now I'd go that route..or should I say I did go that route. 9.94 @ 138+ in a street GN

Last time I played with it... it reacted with 102 add'l HP at the rear wheels.

With a bone stock, slipping, mushy trans, this car went 12.20's w/o nitrous... and 11.15 @ 122 with it.

One fogger nozzle in the up-pipe is all it takes.

On the chassis dyno... 396hp without and 498hp with it.

i'm not real smart about NOS, but i do remember changing the shot size "pill" before. what size shot were you running with this? and was this full time wot for the full run, or just a sray here and there?

I used a single fogger nozzle with 42f/46n jetting.(obviously a wet kit) I found this jetting when searching on the NOS website. It's the same jets they used back in the day when they mfg'd specific kits for our cars.

We had a wideband sniffing the exhaust on that run too... but that info was saved in the dyno files and long since lost. I just remember it looked perfect... went a little rich initially, then leveled out nicely.

At the dragstrip, the car was launched off the footbrake from a dead idle. I used a WOT switch, so as soon as my foot hit the floor, the nitrous was on. My foot generally doesn't come off the floor 'till I'm past the finish line either.

Yup!

I have been leaving the line at "idle" too...

It is such a small shot that I use... no impact or "hard hit" doing it that way.

I have yet to try the juice "on boost" as I am leaving the line... I imagine it would have a huge impact on reducing my ET. I set the initial activation to take place via the throttle... after I engage it via a T-handle on the shifter.

Nitrous works extremely well with these cars. I'm presently using my own port injection system with 30/30 jets at each cylinder. My nitrous system is paired with methanol, not gasoline. I use the nitrous to spool a FI91X turbo with a T6 turbine housing on 224 cubic inches.

live4gnz,nitrous works on these cars to good spools the turbo up faster and in hooks the power claws right into you.
