thanks for the dyno post. What octane were you running?

 

93 octane. I put the 100 shot in the other day and am going to the dyno again saturday. Im gonna put about 3 gallons of 100 octane and 3 gallons of 93 for the heck of it to see if it makes a diference of not. I will put my new dyno numbers up for you guys. Im hoping for 334 whp and 362 tq but I won't cross my fingers, lol! Ya gotta love nitrous!

 

right on. that will be cool, i'm looking forward to see your numbers. And your not running an EMS right now are you?

 

Nitrous Doesnt "ruin" The Engine Over The Long Run...?

 

If run properly no, it wont damage anything.

 

WELL ISNT ZEX A SURE BET NOTHING WILL HAPPEN TO YOUR ENGINE BEING THAT IT MONITORS WHEN TO SPRAY ON ITS OWN...!?? I WAS THINKING ABOUT BUYING ZEX BECAUSE OF THAT FACT.....IS IT TRUE? SO AFTER SAY, 5 YRS OF NITROUS, NO ENGINE PROBLEMS WILL OCCUR (DUE TO N20)? THANKS FOR YOUR RESPONSE BTW!

 

Any chance on a video?

 

Nothing is a "sure bet" but like Alberto said, if installed properly then no engine damage should take place, and of course how big of a shot your running. The main thing is making sure your always tuned well. I would always run 93+ gas (imo) and make sure you never run too lean (fuel cuts, fuel pump failure, etc etc).

The big thing i read over and over is, "dont rely on your nitrous to make your car fast"... if you do this and keep uping your jets etc etc... something is going happen sooner or later.

 

Nope, no ems as of yet.I am going to get Utec as soon as possible though. I will try to get a video of the dyno when I get it.

 

Why, would anyone listen to you. Your the one that blew up your car. I would keep mighty fine post like this one to yourself untill you learn how not to blow up your own car.

Thanks

Um, ahhh, um..... Wow.... Yeah, I'm just gonna leave that one alone.

 

Please post dyno chart...

 

dude Alberto probably knows more about our car than like 98% of the people here. That must have been the only post of his that you read i'm assuming. Seriously man keep that stuff to yourself

 

+1 ... you should maybe look into who your talking to before you post shiit like that in here. Alberto is an idol to alot of us. lol. but really. read some other posts and you will realize how stupid you sound right now.

 

Yeah, Alberto knows his stuff. How did his engine blow again? Missed it. Short version of the story please!

 

+1 for me not blowing my engine...

Your Pal

hahaha damn smartasses lol

 

Hey guys. I went to the dyno this weekend and it ended up pretty crappy as far as the numbers go. I went with the recomended jet sizes zex told me to get and in my opinion the fuel jet is a size or so too big because it ran pretty rich. I can't post a dyno sheet right now becausemy scaner is not wanting to work at this time but I will get it up as soon as possible.The numbers are as possible. Also, I put straight 100 octain in and it seemed to hurt the numbers a bit. The air temp and humidity were the same so it was the only thing that was changed.

Without Nitrous- 240 whp, 230 tq
100 shot- 318 whp, 339 tq (air fuel ratios at its highest at 4500 rpm at 11.5 and by the time rpm's hit 6000, they are at 10.5 and drop down to 10 at about 6300. It is running a little rich. The air fuel ratio goes completly off the chart as soon as I hit it and does'ent come back onto the cart for another 2500 rpm. Yes I know this is really safe but there is more power to be made with this setup is all im saying)

Dyno before last weekend:
No Nitrous- 243 whp, 234 tq
75 shot- 312 whp, 335 tq (air fuel ratios between 11-12.5)

Im going to order the next step smaller fuel jet and take it back to the dyno and see if it helps any. I will try to get the dyno sheet up soon!

 

As the saying goes, "If you want to make an omlet, you're gonna have to break some eggs."

If you don't know this already, you have alot to learn. Alberto blew the motor using turbo....not nitrous. His experiences (whether good or bad) can teach us alot. Turbo, IMO is nothing but a headache....especially on the Z. Trial n error is usually the way ppl do things when no one has set a standard or rule of thumb. I can see already that you talk first, think later (if at all). Throw a turbo on your Z and lets see how long you last. Alberto.....you gonna chime in here? hahaha.

 

Right on, thanks for the update. You can play with the jet sizes to run a bit more lean, that is really rich. But ultimetly i prefer getting your ems.. UTECH imo... and have someone tune your car on the dyno. You will have alot more control on your A/F all the way through your RPM's. It also has a couple nice features with you n2o also
