ima stupid

can u have a turbo charger and nos, i seruisly dont know,lol im learnin..,lol :icon16:

yes you can

you can have a turbo and a supercharger and nos and ram air if you wanted too. it would be a pain in the ass.

also, its called nitrous, "nos" is a brand name and nobody calls it that who actually knew about it before that stupid movie.

I swear I've seen you post this before:rolleyes:

i call it nos sometimes and i did before that stupid movie, its just easier. who uses nitrous anyhow, its for sometimes racers. just boost it.

nitrous is both a pain and a saviour, it will help your quarter mile time, but it is a pain to refill and hook up, so most of the nitrous tanks out there are for show.

dont bother with nitrous, sure it helps your quarter mile but if you go to the track it's useless, you'll get a bit of running time with it then you're done. Plues ithas a really hot flame so it's bad for your engine. go for constant power, go turbo.

Turbocharger will raise cylinder temps as well. Anything you do to make power usually results in a raise in temps. This is because higher Hp levels mean more fuel is required. Burn more fuel=make more heat. All nitrous really does is enable a more complete burn of the AF charge. I agree with a turbocharger. Best bang for the buck though.

Actually if you think about it, temp wont change with the more fuel you put into the motor. Lets say you have a cup of gas and you light it on fire... it will burn at a certain temp... and if you do the same thing to a gallon of gas, it will still burn at the same temp. And nitrous... Nitrous Oxide is made up of Nitrous and Oxygen (obviously).... so when this is injected into your A/F mixture, the nitrous dramatically cools the mixture meaning its more dense... then the oxygen can be used to make the explosion more violent.. hence more HP. This is why you also need to make your A/F mixture rich when you use the nitrous... (I typed this quick so if anything is wrong please correct me)

well the richer you run the cooler your engine will run, but if you run lean you will run hotter, this is why you detonate when you turbocharge, supercharge, and use n2o, especially if you dont upgrade the fuel supply.

BUT, if you are able to completely burn more fuel then your engine will run hotter, if you have a fire with one log it is not as hot as a fire with 2 logs.

i think you meant to say nitrous is made of NITROGEN and oxygen, its not so much that the nigtrogen makes it cooler as the fact that the n20 is a gas that is rapidly decompressing and all gasses get cold when that happens. and also nitrous works cause it is made of about 33% oxygen as aposed to something like 20% oxygen in normal atmosphere, but its temperature does help to make the intake charge slightly more dense.

im too stupid to figure out how the quotes work

thanks for correcting me, and to reply using quotes... press the "Reply w/ Quote" link in the lower right side of the post you want to quote.

The richer you run may make the pistons run cooler, but your exhaust valves and turbine(if you have one) will not thank you. EGTs will raise very quickly. Running leaner makes the combustion chamber run much hotter creating hot spots and potentially melting pistons. Anytime you burn more fuel, you make more heat. Thats why cooling system upgrades come into play when you start making serious power. Yes you do make the AF ratio lower. I think it is like 11s but I'm not sure on that. One of my friends ran a 100shot on his Vortech 4.3l Blazer and laid down like 300ft/lb and 285whp IIRC. He was below the 10s for his AF. Talk about rich.... Nitrous=torque monster.

no offense, but if you cant figure out that you can still supercharge and use nitrous, i dont think you should be running n20, it can be extremely dangerous.....

Have read that on diesel engines, you can actually put your hands on the headers for a few secs without getting burnt, bcoz diesel engines are more efficient at converting the energy in the fuel to motion instead of heat, compared to gasoline. Therefore, I assume that if you hv a way of letting gasoline burn more efficiently, you'll have less heat.

Diesel engines run alot hoter compared to gasoline because it takes more heat for diesel to ignite. yes diesel is more efficent but its not where near 100% efficency. and all the extra energy is lost in heat and light.

nitrous doesn't change efficiency. Simply allows the engine to burn more fuel. More fuel= More horsepower

actually naturally aspirated engines always run a little richer than stoic so n2o could (if properly measured) bring the a/f ratio a little closer to stoic and therefore make it more efficient

Ok, it might increase efficient a bit, but that's not why it makes power. That's all I was trying to say.
What about fuel injected engines, I doubt they are far from stoic.
