    Time to freshen up top end, have a few questions

    Thanks for the replies everyone! No I havent done a leakdown test, but I definitly will when is goes back together. I found the leak by letting it idle and spraying soapy water around the base, definitly a large leak. But didnt check the head, seems dry around that. Confident I did the...

    Time to freshen up top end, have a few questions

    I noticed oil some oil by the base of the cylinder where it meets the case, did some checking and found its spitting air from there and my compression is only 80psi (never checked it before, may have been this low the whole time). So its time to do the top end. I have no previous history on this...

    Nitrous Oxide

    With that said, why do you keep arguing about how a nitrous system should be installed?

    Nitrous Oxide

    Ok, so your trying to think of a way to make one of the "whippet" deals work. Biggest issue I see is being able to measure and control Nitrous pressure, the tuning window will be all over the place. And (IMO) the power gains with that kit compared to a traditional NOS system doesnt make worth...

    Nitrous Oxide

    @ SI, The system should only be armed when you are about to use the system. Its a safety device, I have seen the damaged caused when a NOS system is activated when the engine RPM is low or not at WOT, trust me its BAD! You would still need a 12V source to power the solenoids, so either a DC...

    Nitrous Oxide

    Been there done that! I had a backfire one year at columbus that blew my hood apart and sent a fireball 3 foot over the roof of the car. I:I Steve Johnson is a good guy, talked to him many times in the old NSCA days, was willing to help even when I wasnt running his stuff.

    Nitrous Oxide

    I am starting to think your right, lol! 1) doesnt know that after 10 or more seconds the bottle pressure is going to drop off and have to warm it back up and 2) doesnt know NOS can only be activated at WOT. But he is damn quick with his math! lol (relax SI, just giving you a hard time)

    Nitrous Oxide

    Exactly!! Venoila's by the dozen, LOL!! People used to look at me weird when I told them I ordered pistons 10 or 12 at a time! Rep for learing the hard way, lol!

    Nitrous Oxide

    You guys are some fast typing mofos, lol 1) still have to have a battery source to activate the solenoids, so its already there for the fuel pump. 2) The pressure would drop off at the hit, causing the system to go lean. (plus it would be much harder to tune) Hobbs switces are not very...

    Nitrous Oxide

    1) Fuel pump would only be on when the NOS was armed. 30 minutes of flowing nitrous would empty mutiple motorcycle or atv bottles. 2) The reply was to the guy who suggested using a separate fuel source pressuized by air for fuel enrichment. Anyone who is going to put NOS correctly on a...

    Nitrous Oxide

    No problem! Just trying to help everyone. I have burned up my fair share of pistons learning stuff the hard way, lol!! Dont want to see anyone tearing their stuff up with one of those BS ebay whippet kits.

    Nitrous Oxide

    The fuel pump would be inline between the second outlet on the pingle before the fuel solenoid. I dont want to speak for 1bad442, but I think he was relating that a second fuel source wasnt needed.

    Nitrous Oxide

    I skipped all the chemical arguing, I will leave that to the chemists. But I do have over 10 years experience with nitrous on my race car and others I have built and tuned for friends and customers. I will say this, that kit AWK had a link to is GARBAGE! Spraying nitrous without adding the...

    Anyone else own their first car still?If so what was it and lets see it!!!

    I still have my first car. Its an 86 Mustang my aunt bought new. Originally a 3.8 V6. When I got my permit in 92, she taught me how to drive in the car and gave it to me when she bought her new 92 Mustang LX 5.0. By time I got my licence in 93, it was rusty and had 100k on it. After I graduated...

    New Blaster... How am I looking?

    Is this the ad: Race Ready Yamaha Blaster His horsepower and torque claims seem pretty far out to me considering its a stock carb. This ad also says "bored to 240" not that it has a big bore kit, alot of people think that a .040 over stock jug makes it a 240. I would be very concerned about...

    Getting into RC cars...

    Just dont forget about the spring between the axle and dogbone, those seem to always fly out when they come apart. Your instruction manual has an exploded view if your not sure about where it goes.
