pls dougster leave it here were scots nothing to do with the other sections




kev needed advice is it true if u have nos and u hit the rev limiter u can blow your engine

just need to confirm it a friend told me yesterday

cheers

kevin sharp

cant see it happening if the limiter cuts the ignition.. nitrous is a way of getting a larger volume of oxygen into the cylinders (just like using a bigger turbo/injecors would)..hence the need to fire in extra fuel along with it so it doesnt run lean.
i change up at around 7200rpm..the rev limit is 8200 and it cuts the ignition
if you have a limiter that cuts the pulse to the injectors(like some traction control kits use) then i,d say yes it could melt it as you will still be firing nitous in which will still ignite causing it to be dangerously lean. but i,d say that should be addressed when fitting it.
if nitrous is fitted proerly and in the right quantity it wont harm the engine

why you asking anyway?

kevin sharp

BTW its sharp without an E

moses

oh no probs

thanks for the information dude

a mate told me i had to be careful if i was fitting one and mark said their is no problem he maps so many and maps a safe map so it wont blow

see i wont get my yrs warranty if i fit nos , so i will have to wait a yr , warranty covers the engine and mods but no nos thats why i wanted to know more about it, do i really want to fit it if its gonna be dangerous in the long run

cheers dude

kevin sharp

are you getting a years warranty on a race tuned engine?
your pulling my leg!

moses

no bull mate, simons engines come with a yrs warranty , i thought that was normal

kevin sharp

no its not normal on an engine in that state of tune.....but by the time you get your car back the warranty will be expired...so no problem

moses

moses

cheers i saw it, what im saying is with a bigger crank wont it help u get their quicker, even low 9's or something

moses

check out the new modified moses

kevin sharp

i,m not really interested in getting a larger capacity..at the moment the cars doing everything i want on the strip and track (power wise anyway new suspension set up on the way) and its reliable so i dont want to change much other than give a little bit more gas to get some better 1/4 mile times

moses

nice one

but tell me do u ever hit the limiter in 1st gear with all that power, u must i used to with only 340 bhp

kevin sharp

no.. i listen to the car and watch the counter and change up accordingly..besides it would be pointless..my cars peak power is 5-7k rpm..hitting the limiter would just slow it down

moses

lol so where am i going wrong is it coz not much launch experience then im doing it most times if i have a race with my mates, it pi55es me off , to avoid that im fitting a longer pinion but i didnt really want to waste money coz i aint into top speed, i luv short boxes, coz of the problem i have thats why im gonna get it fitted

kevin sharp

you need to practice driving it more..not sending it away for long holidays like its on just now

launching just needs practice

moses

cheers mate, will try but its hard either it bogs down or it hits the rev limiter

im aff for a kip now i have a very bad headache and sore eyes so see ya the morra and God bless


nite u lot

ANDYUK300

geez us go mista!!!

moses

lol a go sure mate but last time i gave my mates a shot

first time he smashed it in a pole

and my other mate hit the limiter a few times and blew my engine so i decided no more shots to people but u can have a run in it anytime with me driving

ANDYUK300

quality!!!!! that's what i meant, would'nt expect anyone to hand keys over. know how **** i am about my car.

kevin sharp

no offence moses..but with some of the posts i have seen you making there would be no way i would get in a car with you driving with the kind of power you are going to have

moses

lol andy cheers , my heart was too soft i used to give any tom dick and harry my keys but no more , im the one who had to cough up for the damage

and i agree kev i aint much experience with that much power and simon didnt recommend more than 450 bhp he told me over that is a different story, i had a cbr600 motorbike cant be that bad can it

is it really scary as they say kev u should know u are the one who does it in 10.4

moses

i cant see page 2 here it says kev posted something but i cant get into page 2
