NITROUS OXIDE ( nos / n2o ) advice forum

Dave

Just to let you know and I am sure you are aware of this but even if the fuel flows out of the pump at the front my concern is that it will stall in the line under a hard launch.I trully beleive you need to move the pumps to the rear of the car or at least the one for the nitrous. The carbs have a bowl but the nitrous is what concerns me. If it stalls goodbye pistons....

Good luck on your headers look good so far...

Should be able to drive itout of the garage this weekend

Here is taster!

Well I managed to drive it out of the garage

unfortunately the battery is flat so no more playing for me

It needs the timing doing, there is a leak somewhere in the front brake circuit that needs fixing, I need to sort the gear linkage out, and I need some tyres............apart from that it is ready for its first test run at the Pod

Doing well, love the under car shots.

As tempting as it is to rev the nuts out of an engine when it first first up, it's better just to let it idle till the oil gets to everything.

Regards

Good going Dave but like Trev said you need to get the idle fixed before you hurt the bottom end. Good job once again and it seems so strange seeing you get in on the passenger side, as i am sure its strange for you seeing us getting in the other side also..lol

So, after much pain the car is now almost ready for next month!

Had a mishap with the brakes, I pressed them so hard I bent the rod that goes in to the master cylinder.....ooops!

I also have to remove the sump andseal it properly, and change the oil.

Apart from that and a tune up she is ready to rock! (No nitrous and just a shakedown )

Its nearly there!

The job list is so small its not worth mentioning now!

It starts, it drives and it stops No leaks and I am mad enough to give it a try!

you going to be at the pod with her for the classic ford day on june 10th mate?

Bet your neighbours luuuuuurve you.

Nah, cant afford 2 weekends on the trot! Used a gallon of petrol making that video!!!

I haven't heard any complaints yet

That's cos ya deaf from that engine mate

I christen thee..................

I hope you intend to change the exhaust arrangement!!!

Only so its not quite so close to the floor!!

Very nice :-) love the sound good job hope it runs well at pod

Tezz

Yes that was my point.

Will be done tomorrow......today I hae mostly been making the nitrous system live Damn shit Yank system meant I needed 16 new jets just to get down to a 100BHP hit..........

Got a sight dilema in what to do with the fuel. I have 2 pumps, 2 carbs and 2 fuel solenoids. Now do I use one pump for each solenoid, t them together to get even pressure, or something completely else!

Also wired in my tacho so now I know how many RPMs I am thrashing out of it.

I am getting really excited now!

Someone at work suggested that I went retro cool..............he did a few sketches and today I have been out with the spray cans



There is still some more to do, so I will update you when I am done

So it is complete...................well apart from a few pink bits

It is now so close I can almost touch it!

Made some door cards today and did some general titivating the paintwork is almost done now, a few more stickers and some nice pink stripes




And what have we here? Look at the lovely braided line, swoon at the homebrew bottle heater, gasp at the high quality bottle, look with envy at the excellent valave

Well another long tiring day comes to a close. I have started with the striping............what do you think??

I couldn't go to bed without finishing off!

Big Dave
Isnt your dip tube on the bottle going to be the wrong way up??

Dont worry the dip tube is fine........it is not one of Trevs bottles and it is therefore a bit heath robinson! Rest assured the dip tube is in the correct place.

Was working on the car on Saturday and noticed a strange noise.......about an hour later I realised it was the SPRV! it had a thick coating of ice and was happily venting as it was pretty hot! Maybe need to adjust it so I can get a bit more pressure before it vents!
