Nitrous oxide is strictly an oxidizer, so I wonder how it can auto-ignite?
Ah, that sounds more like it.
so when you inject nitrous into the exhaust stream, are you adding additional fuel as well?
Yes. It is a wet fogger type nozzle. Presently a 60 shot at a best power type ratio. Comparable to a 5.0:1 a/f (methanol) ratio. I picked that ratio in an attempt to get the best btu value from the shot.
That's how I view it. Adding additional heat and mass.
Yes, it does skew the reading. The reading during nitrous activation can be anything from flatline rich to flatline lean, and anything in between. The hotter the engine is by the time the car is staged, the more chance that the a/f reading will be flatline lean at 14.64:1 during the entire time that the nitrous system is activated. Don't ask me to explain it. I don't have that figured out yet, myself.
I use the O2 sensor for datalogging only. The sensor does not adjust the fueling to the engine, so the nitrous system skewing the a/f readings has no consequence on the engine fueling.
since its after the combustion process it could be picking up pockets of unburnt oxygen molecules, as well as unburnt fuel from the afterburner effect
James, don;t use NOS you and I have enough trouble with things.........
lol at least my car idles without fouling plugs
Can't argue with that.......Anyway back on track Donnie is doing an amazing job, and I can;t wait to see it running on video? When is that going to happen?

I bet it won't take 8 years.
lol, and this thread isnt even a year old yet!
I've decided to send the block out this coming week to have the bores cleaned up so that I can get the order going for the pistons, pins and rings.
While I'm waiting for the pistons, which will be a custom order, I'll get the block back and set it in the engine bay so that I can finish up fabricating the intake and exhaust systems.
Finished one of the two lifting brackets today. Hopefully I'll have the other one done tomorrow and I can get the block over to the machine shop first thing Monday.
