Re: Nitrous installed. :) Pics :D

You should be at 14.7 at idle or while just crusing( I say plus or minus .3-.5) , then when your at part throttle your A/F should drop in the 13's, then at WOT, NA should be at least 13.0 or a little under, Nitrous 11.5 to 12.0. What wideband setup are you using?

Ohh ok... You had me worried there. Yeah just driving it hangs around 14.7 and then when I let off the throttle, and just coast in gear it will run at 16... I will have to run it at WOT without nitrous to see what it runs at, I think it pegs out like it did with Nitrous. I guess I will know more this weekend, when I run it a few times. So as long as it pegs out on green all is good???

Thanks,

I guess I still need to fix the KR I'm getting through... I'll have to try and figure how to remove the timing and KR before the weekend comes.

Re: Nitrous installed. :) Pics :D

what wideband do you have again?

[Guardiannknight]

Re: Nitrous installed. :) Pics :D

I'm at work right now, it's an autometer, don't know the model number, I should have the email at home with the model number.

so you have an a/f ratio narrowband gauge then and not an actual wideband gauge?

I installed it in the Y-pipe, right in the middle, before the Y connects and in front of the cat.


However, as for my HP Tuners software, now it is running on narrowband. But, my gauge is wideband. Maybe that is where I'm making some confusion???

Re: Nitrous installed. :) Pics :D

As long as you have a wideband, you should be O.K. with your tuning then.

A lame question, but wouldn't a stock engine die almost immediately if you stuck a NOS on it ?

When you say stock, are you meaning, like pure stock with no mods? Like stock air filter, stock exhaust, everything stock? Or just a stock engine?

you can run nitrous on a stock engine.

and it is not NOS, it is nitrous, NOS is a brand

I didn't catch the NOS part... And on a side note... I didn't get to test out the 75 shot this past weekend. Hopefully this weekend I'll get to do some test runs with the 75 shot. :naughty:

I ran countless runs at the track with a 125 dual shot on a stock motor. I had aftermarket bolt-ons and tune.

Re: Nitrous installed. :) Pics :D

Well, it's been a while since I've posted about the nitrous kit. Didn't get to drive my car much during the winter, and never got to use the nitrous. So, yesterday, 3/22/08 drags opened back up, and I finally got to see what my Camaro would do with the 75 shot. :) The best time I got out of 4 runs was 14.6 at 95.90mph. Out of 4 runs I won all but 1.

First run I ran against a Cobalt SS, he ran a 15.6 at 91.56, I ran 14.6 at 95.90mph

2nd run I ran against a new GTO, he ran 13.8 at 100.97, I ran 14.7 at 96.30

3rd run against a 2002 Mustang GT, we both had issues on the run, he ran a 17.4 at 84.25, I ran a 15.4 at 97.26(first time I tried reving high enough to pull out with Nitrous, was a bad idea, it was fun, I spun hard all the way through 1st and finally caught in 2nd. :P

4th run me and the GT again, he ran 15.0 at 93.91, I ran 14.8 at 97.62.

So, I'm about where I figured I would be with the 75 shot, i was figuring around 14.5 or in hopes of 14.4, and I may be able to hit that but, i'm very close o where I expected. I'm figuring with a 100 shot I will be in the low 14's and maybe on a perfect night or day I could maybe hit in the 13.9 section :)

The car ran great with the 75 shot, no misfires or anything. I looked at my wideband O2 gauge a few times while I was running, it was running around 12.9 or 13 with the 75 shot. So how does that sound? I didn't do any tuning. I'm still running the tune that I was running before installing my nitrous. I never got the chance to tune from the 50shot I recorded last year, because I'm still a little iffy on how to tune stuff. I thought I understood it, and found out the area I was tuning wasn't doing anything. Still need some help and info on the tuning, so I say if I could get the tune in, I could probably run in the lower 14's with the 75 shot and with the 100 shot be in the upper 13's.

I know mid 14's doesn't sound the best, but the 75 shot pulled me up about a second in the 1/4. my average times without the nitrous was around 15.5. So the 75 shot has pulled me up about .8 secs. My best I ever hit without nitrous was 15.2 and that has been several years ago on a perfect night.

So, thanks again for everyones help, I will update everyone when I get the 100 shot ran. I still want to install the inline fuel pump before I run the 100 shot, just to be on the safe side. I know people have ran a 100 shot with stock pumps alone, but I say it's got to be hard on that stock pump. At least with an inline, the stock pump will only have to push a few feet compared to all the way to the engine bay, the inline will push the fuel the rest of the way.

Also, if anyone knows how to use the HP Tuner software, and doesn't mind explaining to me how to tune a little, that would be great. I'm very quick on learning software and computer stuff, so it wouldn't take much. Like I said, I was tuning one section of it, but found out that the section I was tuning didn't do anything unless one section failed. I can not remember the names, I would have to look again and read up on it.

One other thing. :P Sadly I didn't get to record any data on any of the runs with the HP Tuner software, my laptop locked up and I just said the heck with it. I have found that my laptop locks up unless I keep it on high performance and not balanced or power saver for the laptops battery, with running the HP tuner software. But, that's no biggy I can get a few quick runs in around here if needed or I'll probably be going back to the drag strip in a few weeks since they have it on Saturday about 8 or 9 times this year.

Thanks again,
Jeff
