ORIGINAL: Billyman I am a performance auto technician by trade. Nitrous systems, superchargers, turbos, aftermarket everything, engine builder, power add on specialist. I get paid weekly to make your car go faster and your fast car go faster still. From the simplicities of mechanical this and that to the computerized world of today. Although I have no, none, zip, zilch….hands on experience with 2 stroke NOS systems, I do have a buddy, who IS a member here on RCU, that has a kick a$$ system (which he developed) that he has proven already. I cannot disclose any information without his consent and I’m leaving his findings for him to announce. He does plan on marketing it in the future is all I can say. As for 4 stroke applications………….I’ve been dealing with NOS for nearly a decade. Hi, I have also been in the fullsize performance industry for 20+ years and into nitro r/c for 10+. I am interested to know what NOS system you have? and I would very much like to see a pic of you freinds nitrous system for a 2 stroke nitro engine, could you please put me in contact with him?. Since you have also been using NOS brand kits like me I am sure you have questions and concerns as I do about this "jag" kit. I have thought about using nitrous on these R/C (glow) engines before, I do know it works on other 2 stroke engines, there are kits from NOS for them. Every kit NOS sells for two stroke engines has/comes with (2-two) solenoids (nitrous and gas). My questions, They say the engine will get extra fuel from the pipe pressure. I have tryed to run more pressure in my 8scale fuel tanks before and when I do I have problems with sealing at the refill cap (I have fuel and pressure coming out through the cap). Also with a pre set high speed needle how are you going to get more? fuel flow, thats what needles are for (regulating fuel flow). The other thing is you can only put so much pressure through the stock brass fittings. There is a saying, (drink all you want... just do it though a small/thin straw), you can only get so much flow and thats it. Glow plugs, I have a concren about eating glow plugs, if there crude system leans out the engine to (ANY) degree, this is not good for the glow plugs let alone the engine. We all know when you put nitrous though any combustion engine it causes alot more stress on the componets and can dramaticly shorten the engines life if not properly set up/regulated. I will not risk it on my $200.00 to $400.00 engines. My point is I feel what these guys have is crude and NOT! safe to use on these small engines (I could see alot of guys killing/breaking/hurting there small nitro engines with with this kit. Is it worth the risk to grenade or hurt your engine so you can say and use a so called R/C nitrous kit once?. What these guys have done I could have tryed 10 years ago, I just think there is more too it then what they have there. I have had ideas for a simular thing for a while that I could make here localy, but not like theres. These are the systems I have on my stuff. I currently have the "PRO" system on a blown 671 351c, a dual plate cheater on tunnel ram 351c, 2 single plate cheater systems on two other 351c engines and a "fogger" port injected system on my HD http://www.holley.com/HiOctn/ProdLine/Products/NOS/NOSNS/Cheater.html http://www.holley.com/HiOctn/ProdLine/Products/NOS/NOSNS/DblCross.ht |
