Wet Nitrous
Turbo Mini Forums

right got bored and one thing turned into another.. it would seem that Nitrous is kinder cheep really or at least i think it is from seeing some so called kits.. has anyone done Nitrous on a mini? i take it the Siamese port problems are much worse tho? wonder how much would be safe to use

the miniwilliams car runs it .

Medusa + injection = too much torque for the dyno ..https://youtu.be/qg5o0_tJxYM

Carl Austin, uses the spray aswell.

I would say that a 50 shot is about as much as you want to use.

"So wat we gonna do tonight Brain?"
"Same thing we do evernight Pinky!"
"Try to take over the world!"

No, 100hp is what I WANT to use, but 50hp is probably safer !!

ok so me thinking i could have a 120hp ish turbo 1150cc and spray another 75 hp down its neck wasn't to bad? lol 195hp for a sneaky pass that's i nice thought.. hehe

ehh it wont happen me thinks..

how long with in reason are ppl holding the n2o on for? like could you have a track day doing laps get a good straight bit nail it in a good gear nd hold the n2o open flying past ppl till ur at the next corner ? forgive me if this is dumb... could a proper tuned n2o be a seamy permanent fuel? forgetting the cost of it..

have a read of the david vizard book there is a section in there for tuning the a series for n2o

Done now needs redoing lol

Cheating gas..

Up your loser,.lol

When are you going to drag the twini out of storage for some fun?

i don't have my yellow book at the moment im interstate have been for two months that's why the build has halted..

cheating gas hmm no i don't think so more like making the most out of a tinny motor?

whats the handy cap multiplier thing is for a turbo efi n2o mini in street sprint ?

cant find a build log or info on the miniwilliams car or Carls Austin

well its not legal in my dumb ass state but the next state over its legal.. cant Evan have it all as normal less the bottle.. not one part can be installed on the car gay!

Wolfie ran a 25bhp shot, Ollie has setup for his at some point and i will be using a cheeky little bit, i have driven a car with it and used it and it was quite fun

-Rover 100 VVC #2 - track project

Searching is all you need on TurboMinis

I am using a 100 shot with 50 fuel shot via a spray into the boost pipe before the plenum.gives about 60 bhp at the wheels.fun on the strip.

'Where does the engine go?'

yep, i am doing the same.
In effect it is prob only 25hp but is a rough solution. ( my car 1972 is attempting to look standard) Further from the ports mean less inequality across the Siamese. less reaction though, I would say ok for road but a pulsed spray timed for the Siamese ports is required for anything other than fun, not that drag aint fun, what with those heels and all!!

I re read, sorry 50shot I have. wouldnt do more without further control and $$$

Edit to say: It costs too much in IRL for it to be road fun. Boost is better!!!

I have run Nitrous on a few of my Minis. It seems to work perfectly fine at 50bhp jets (25bhp actual). I found when you start to increases the jet size beyond 75 jets (37bhp actual) no really gains were found, and timing needed severely retarding.

At 120 jets, I melted my steel shim head gasket, melted 2 inner spark plugs, damaged 2 pistons from plug debris, damaged my full race block and head beyond repair. But most importantly only managed 14.1 quarter mile, compared to 13.9 on the Saturday at Avon. However my CR was 12.5-1, and I should have never risked it, but I was chasing Rich1380 for a sub 13.8 quarter.

On my supercharged engine, it loved nitrous. The cooling affect meant I didn't need the alter timing, even at 75 jets.

I wish I could I install cheating gas on all my cars, it really is great fun. The increase in instant torque is staggering, especially at mid revs. It's a shame is frowned upon and insurance companies hike premiums.

mine runs retarded anyway,plus fuel additive.I checked it for det on the RR,which is where the bhp figure came from.Now done about 12 runs on it,best of 12.3/110 but remember this is RWD.

'Where does the engine go?'

I would just build an engine able to handle higher boost personally, and make the power that way. A little more initial outlay maybe on the engine. Simple low/high boost switch and jobs a goodun!

Make sure your pistons are up to it.

I ran a 50 shot on the 16 valver with a set of old school Cooper S pistons. Car went well, and wasnt untill I spent an hour driving round cheshire back roads with a reduced 25 shot that finally killed one of them. Ring lands were obviously broken, and the nitrous just found it and burned through the piston.

I wouldn't recommend it for a road car if you intend to jump in the car and go for a drive, though the problem with cylinder pressures in Aus might not be so much of a problem than can be over here.

You have to consider some sort of ignition retard when on nitrous, engine purge/ ignition cut after a stall to reduce the likelyhood of an inlet backfire, valves to isolate the nitrous line while the car is sat with the engine off, a gauge and a kit of jets.

Its bloody good fun, but messy. Ok if you like fiddling with valves and jets

FFS just had my reply vanish on me...

I thought that a little shot of laughing gas was a good way to reduce or eliminate any turbo lag ?

Seems to do that David,but I wouldn't use it on the road,this thing is scary enough already!
