Nitrous question

[Yamahaulin]

If you were going to spray a 50 shot of dry nitrous would you spray it right before the intercooler or right before the throttle body?

Yes it will. but a well designed intercooler will is already doing its job fairly well. Let the intercooler and nitrous both do their jobs at maximum efficiency and for the nitrous this means putting it about 6in from the throttle body opening. This has been proven to get the coldest and best atomized spray into the cylinders if your not running a direct port or "wet" system.

You already get a pressure drop across an intercooler right? Do you really want to shoot really cold compressed liquid in there on top of that. MY guess would be you would see a substantial drop in boost one you sprayed. that could make tuning more difficult and runs inconsistent. my 2cents

nitrous is like a hot girl with std's....you always want to hit it but your afraid of the consequences

Haha we use that phrase in the off roading world, reffering to deep mud holes.

So I've never dealt with Nitrous before and i'm just starting to learn and i have a simple question. A 50 shot = 50hp and a 100 shot = 100hp? and so on and so on?

i gess i didnt explain myself. the nitrouse will cool the intercooler, so after you spray it, the intercooler will remain cooler afterwards. and still be able to get a dense charge after you were done using nitrouse

An intercooler, by design works on a temperature differential to cool the charge air. The greater the temperature difference between the outside air and the charge air, the better the intercooler works. If you inject Nitrous, or Methanol, or water, or anything else that serves as a charge cooler before the intercooler, it diminishes the intercoolers ability to do it's job. If however you spray after the intercooler, then the intercooler can do it's job well, and the charge cooling spray can further cool the air. If you are worried about the intercooler core's temperature because of heat soak, a viable answer is to use an intercooler spray system. Most spray CO2 or water directly on the OUTSIDE of the intercooler to further increase the temperature differential between the intercooler core (and outside air) and the charge air.

In an N/A application, the HP increase is slightly more than the rated shot. However, in a forced induction application, especially turbocharging, the gains are much more apparent. The turbo/supercharger is increasing the amt. of air that's being crammed into the cylinder, which, by nature, is increasing the temperature. The nitrous cools the temps down allowing all of the air to be used to it's fullest potential.

I've personally seen a 99hp gain AT THE WHEELS using a 50hp DRY shot sprayed BEFORE the fmic. We probably could have picked up even MORE hp if it was set up 6" before the throttle body.
