very surprised that a LOT of good info is filing thru now .
And as far as the guy on the other forum ... well , lets just say that looks are one thing ... performance and setup ( proper ) is another .
And SLICKERTHANYOU nailed it on the head , when it comes to the fellow on the other forum with that N20 setup ...
Of course, unless your rich and can experiment with engines and possibly kill yourself in the process
Lets see .. in the picture below .. can anyone tell me anything about my car , and if its set up right ? ( just by looking now . )
now , if you figured it out ... no .. just because it kinda looks like a sleeper , does not mean it is . Just like that fellow with the N20 on the quad - but in reverse . Just because he has the bucks to do it .. does NOT mean it is done right . lets see if anyone can tell the one BIG thing for starts, that is NOT done properly with his setup ?
( oh , and BTW - my Monte is listed in HOT ROD online and runs mid 10s with a 150 wetshot on a 1970 blueprinted stroker - that car used to be our "family" car
)
So ... who can tell me whats wrong with that guys setup from what you can see in the pics ? ( assuming that that is how he left it )
( I'd also show you my '98 dime , but , she's kinda tore apart right now waiting on the engine to be popped in )
And in answering what motoman9911 asked -
At what pressure does this stuff ignite at?
that all depends on what per cent nitro to lube you are using . If you know anything about diesel engines , then think of a nitro engine as to being a diesel engine , but on intensified steroids ( just running nitro instead of diesel - nitro makes 'em faster , diesel makes 'em run stronger )
And if any of you are confused ... nitro and N20 are NOT the same . N20 ( aka NOS ) requires a very LIMITED amount to use due to it be an oxidizer , whereas Nitro is best used running LEAN ( which is why top fuelers get that "cool" blue flames popping out their exhaust - from running lean)
N20 is an oxidizer , whereas nitro kinda works in reverse and allows a LESS air mix than even gasoline .
but , whichever way you decide to experiment ... just make sure you realize ...
1) you want to make sure you have a GOOD insurance policy on your ass , since thats what will be sitting on that quad - right above the engine WHEN it decides to let loose from not properly set-up.
2) make sure that insurance policy is paid up to date 8-|
3) have LOTS of bucks for when you make even the "slightest" mistake ( minimum it'll cost ya might be an engines top half )
4) make sure you have LOTS of friends around when you test it ,so when you got that sucker toobering along , roasting that fuel , and she decides to blast that head right off that jug and take part of you along with it , that there will be some friends around with their head on straight that hopefully one can run your ass to the hospital ( if theres anything left of it that is )
Good luck and hopefully you change your mind .
and go with hard mods - porting , reeds , exhaust timing , intake timing , carbs .... pipes
