NITROUS OXIDE ( nos / n2o ) advice forum

hi everyone first post on here so please bear with me, ive currently got a MG ZS TD with a few mods

stainless decat
EGR delete
induction kit
rover sdi injectors
boost turned up to 21 psi

i have been searching the forum for some time but cant seem to find answer for my questions so here goes.

1 when i take my car for a remap will the tuner be able to get my car to run rich on a wot?

2 i know that with a petrol car a 50 shot mans you got 50 hp is it the same for a diesel as long as there is enough black smoke (fuel) on wot?

3 i did a google search for how long will a 10lb nitorus bottle last at 100 shot it came up with this on a few other forums (: 0.8 lbs N2O X 10 seconds = 100 horsepower. I.E. If your system is jetted for 100 horsepower it will use 0.8 lbs of nitrous for every 10 seconds of usage.) does that seem about right? not planning on running a 100 shot myself

thanks for the fast reply everything answered in one post.
I didn't know that i could produce up to double to torque and 4 minutes on a 50 shot that is a long time at wot.

Another quick question for you pros. With my diesel when I take it to get remapped will they advance the timing at all?

If they do will this cause any problems when on the spray? I know would on a petrol just not sure about a diesel

Cheers I'm only just getting into the world of nitrous that's why so many questions. Also is there any way of knowing a safe limit to increase to? Without it going boom like in that vid you uploaded. I don't fancy getting a rebuild lol

Don't be discouraged by that video as that was due to some other factor (possibly from operator error or another form of fuel injection like propane). I just post those things from time to time to stir up the forum a bit.

As I've mentioned, I have a limited knowledge of diesels (only that of which I learned on this forum). But one thing that's fact is that diesels are MUCH stronger than those of petrol and a diesel engine CANNOT blow up from using nitrous UNLESS another form of fuel is injected into it that can cause detonation OR the engine is making MORE power than the components can withstand (IE head gaskets).

I've just scrubbed up as much diesel knowledge as I could to assist you and with that I have to say that I AM UNSURE as to whether changing the fuel timing will have the effect as I've stated previously. But what I AM SURE of is that diesel fuel timings are very precise and that I still hold my recommendation to not let the tuner mess with the timing as stock and to only focus on increasing the amount of diesel fuel that the stock system can muster to make power on nitrous. Furthermore, it's impossible to tell at what level of power an engine can withstand, but I haven't heard of anyone breaking a diesel engine on nitrous using extra fuel from the stock system.

FYI, I'm burning to get my hands on a diesel to spray nitrous into to strengthen my knowledge, and if I do get my hands on one
I can assure you that it would be equipped with nitrous and posted on this forum within hours!

Great to hear about you wanting a diesel. thanks for all your advice youve been a real big help. Like I say I'm new to diesel and nitrous myself so I'm just try to get as much info as possible.

Ye can't wait to order my kit just going to get a little more cash together then order everything I one go then it's off to the track
Thanks again for all your help much appreciated

so if i let the tuner know i'm planning on running nitrous is there anything i should ask him to not to adjust?

X 2 AGAIN!!!!

It looks like my forum will be in good hands when I retire.

What a shame that all American nitrous users aren't as smart.
