Torque Gains

[CamaroRS9738]

Can anyone approximate the torque gains (at the crank not the wheels) from an NX 75 wet shot? Im asking regarding a basically stock 3.8.

im gonna guess somewhere around 100

[oil pan 4]

It's going to add about 100 to 75 ft/lb of tq.
About 100 tq near your activation RPM (say 3600rpm)because you have more nitrous going into the cylinders because the nirtous is sparyed in at a fixed amount no mater what the RPM and it has more fuel:nitrous(about 6:1)/less normal air:fuel (12.5:1)mixture compaired to higher rpms, plus the V.E. is higher down there.
That's why nitrous breaks stuff. A 150 shot could add over 200ft/lb at activation.
How it happens^^^
vvvWhy it happens
Look at it mathamaticly add "75hp" @ 3600rpms and you get 109ft/lb of torque so I guessed close up there.
5252/"@ what ever rpm" x hp you want to add = new tq "@ what ever rpm"
Kind of an inverted tq. @ rpm = hp, with a twist.
Is that what you wanted to know?
I'll have to add that equation to my list, I just created it for this :cool: .
Let me try it for my z28.
If torque peaks at 4200rpm @ 480ft/lb
Add the 150 shot and I get, 670 ft/lb @ 4200rpm [img]graemlins/omg.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/burnout.gif[/img] , me at that point> [img]graemlins/rock.gif[/img]

Well......
120 dry shot I picked up 111 RWHP and 160 RWTQ

100 wet shot I picked up 136 RWHP and 180 RWTQ

Does that give you a ball park range?

I would say over 100 RWTQ gain

[CamaroRS9738]

Excellent guys, thanks for the help. Much appreciated. Lots of torque from nitrous :-D.

[12secondv6]

Yes, nitrous = TONS of TQ gain

disregard this

I think you ment to put that in the thread about the mustang and the huge nitrous shot they wanted to put on it.

Oh, missed the "wet"/"dry" part... My bad! :cool:

Plenty of fuel due to lack of control with a wet shot, maybe.

actually fire dept are not allowed to accept funds like that, if they did, and someone died they would be liable and they could get sued....being a government funded so to say equity the government could be sued as well for "allowing" such a thing to happen. nuff said

Um.... 12 years on the fire dept here.

Accept funds can be.... cash donation....paying for schooling...donation to fire house as in household items.... etc.
