Hi,
Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions, very helpful - Can finally narrow down my wish list a bit!!
So I'll go with 4 fuel and 4 nos venoms. The problem is that the engine is an inline flat 4, but because it is in the back of the car, the rear bulkhead is close to the top of the engine. This is why im getting a billet the inlet manifold made for it a in a reasonably tight short L shape to make the TB's fit. Location wise and for best results, where should the fuel and nos injectors be placed? I know the fuel should be close but not too close to the inlets on the head to stop valve bounce but how close to the tb can it go? and then spray the nos from the other side of the tb or can they be mounted opposite the fuel venoms?? My concern if that no matter where the fuel is sprayed, it will be to close to the head because of the manifold size and shape and if im honest drilling holes in this manifold is really something id like to avoid if possible. Perhaps I could put the fuel venoms in the boot between the tb and manifold?
It is possible to fit them, yes. However, a crossfire setup would be better because you only need to drill one hole instead of two with the venoms. This will keep the location at the boot or slightly further ahead in the manifold, whichever fits easier. This avoids the fuel bounce ( a problem on high power applications) while also avoiding nitrous reversion. Quote:
I can already tell that you won't be needing to worry about window switches on a 100 bhp engine, especially with only 50 bhp additional and a progressive ramp up (that is, unless you're racing as mentioned before).
Why is that? When I say 50bhp shot im happy to go higher than that, i'm just not sure how much it too much?
With the progressive control, you'll be able to engage the nitrous at a lower start percentage and have a build up time, which gives you a very controllable car. The revs will come faster, yes, but you will know when to change the gear. For one, you won't be starting out with 50 jets but some lower amount of power like 25 bhp. This will get you used to the way the car responds and as you will then know what kind of response you'll get when more power is applied.
You say you'd like to go higher than 50 hp and that is all fine. Just know that the more power you apply to the engine, the more you'll appreciate the Max Extreme's features. Too much nitrous power is a question that has no real answer to because it all depends on how well designed and built each engine is. I can tell you that a 50% power increase will be significant for an engine of this size and to push the limits will require the advance features of the Max Extreme. Many fragile engines have successfully doubled their power and more with progressive control since the power application is not harsh like that of a fixed hit.
It's funny, most people generally overestimate how much power I'm running in my car when they feel the power come on, and when I tell them, they are instantly shocked by how far off they guessed. It's also the same with the internet, some will claim that they want XXX power and end up with only a fraction of what they wanted because it was too much power LOL! The point is that you should start small and increase the power until you feel the car is where it should be.Quote:
If you are an avid racer where you shift very quickly and every so often misshift, then it be worth your while to obtain window control.
The car will never see a track as such, but will be driven spiritedly. It will also be used at some demonstrations every now and then for auto testing, so will likely hit the limiter when doing doughnuts etc but the throttle input wont always be planted.
You mean you want to do doughnuts while on nitrous? Not a problem, it's looking like a Max Extreme would be a better fit for you.
If I were doing that kind of thing would a mini max not cut the nitrous if i wasn't full throttle then bring it back on progressively after that? Kind of concerned that it could give me snap traction while sliding...
The minimax has the option of continuing a ramp up if the throttle falls from and reengages the trigger point or start the ramp up process all over again. It's easily done by the adjustments in mere seconds. Again, the Max Extreme is a much better choice for you.Ive added a photo of the 3d printed manifold so you can see what im talking about and a really bad sketch
Here are the possible locations for the crossfires. Choose whichever location suits you, but know that you'll need the retainers and spacers for the rubber boots location. The crossfires will lower the cost and reduce installation complexity while still giving you the potential for massive gains. Attachment:
