NITROUS OXIDE ( nos / n2o ) advice forum

Did anyone lose two folding chairs.

I seem to have 2 that are not mine ??

Yes me! I'll get them at the next event.

You seem to leave all sorts laid around mike - keys, phone ............


I'll get me coat..........................

Ha Ha!!

Damn those fangled electronics eh Mike

Sorry guys for not being working hard to pay for the repairs. the engine is still in the car,

I'll try and anwser what I can. I've had some long chats with Trev as well. The frot 2 plug there is nothing at all left from the thead to the tip. The strap insulator and electrode, the heads a not to bad just a clean up 4 valves and recut the seat to both front cylinders, obviouly 2 pistons and rings. The pistons and valves have been ordered but 5-6 weeks order. I will be pulling the block over next weekend I will post picks of the plugs later. The Spider Inlet, carb and fuel pumps have gone to an F1 team to try and recreate our launch which is around 1.5 G to see whats happening

Unfortunately as we all run our cars as hobbies work does get in the way a lot of the time eh mate

Shame about the delivery time on the pistons though. How many rounds of SE will you miss ??
You certainly didnt miss anything at the Pod yesterday..

July and August is a bit bare - anything happening at the POD?

http://www.santapod.co.uk/calendar.php

theres a few RWYB days in July and August Mike..

I'll be at the Retro weekend and the following Thur and Fri for 2 days free racing with Fueltopia while they do a DVD film of the event and should be at the BMW gig on sunday 9th to make up the numbers on track as most of the Bimmer guys will be show and shine and not actually putting their money where their mouths are on track. I reckon the MG will be running by 2pm on the Bimmer show when race control ask for folk to sign on any car as the Bimmer guys wont go on track ??

Fight
The Saturday will be pretty good as Del has arranged 50ish TVR's to turn up.
Smoke or no smoke, the bimmer is going to be maxed out, go out in style.

That weekend is my birthday, would be great to spend it on the strip

Well provided I can get a turbo and get the car rebuilt we should be there -

Anyone got a turbo off : - Saab 9000, Xr3 Turbo or a 1.8t VAG ?

Once that is done I am looking of a summer FULL of RWYB!

I did have a turbo off an RS turbo not sure if I still have it but I can have a look if you like. I'll do ou a swap I'm after a pair of 96mm turbo for a project I'm doing anyone got any laying around??????????????????????????????????????????

Did you get my email Ron?

Not sure, which one. I'll have a look when i get in. If I've not replied to any I'll do it tonight

If you are using low pressure / high volume fuel delivery with fuel jets still at the pulsoid outlets to feed the spider you may well have re-created my problems from last year on my smaller engine.
I could not figure out why my front plugs leaned out only on track and not on the dyno.

The Rover V8 on a carb setup is well known for this issue even for road use with folk who have done the testing. On a Rover V8 road car with a carb you will often find that the rear plugs always look blacker than the front pair.

This is why I opted to run a higher fuel pressure of 12 psi and fit the fuel jets in the spider legs. This seemed to suit my engine much better. But then I was running a 300hp shot on a 200hp engine. So I had to make sure I had fuel or even excess fuel where I needed it.

I am going to re use my spider on the other car but I'm going to make new fuel legs to my own design to see if my theory works out.. And I will be running a 3 bar fuel system with this new engine on my Escort. My idea is to get the fuel to squirt out in front of the nitrous stream in the runners. It may not be ideal for all engines. But I think this will be the solution for my particular V8 setup. And I ended up having to jet the short runners much richer on the original spider setup as my inlet manifold does not have equal length runners.

Just to clarify one point from my last post. When I said I ran the short middle runners rich, I meant I reduced the amount of nitrous and left the fuel as it was.
