Nitrous on a Diesel 101!

Taking a break from our choices series to cover a well misunderstood topic. How to properly run nitrous on your diesel truck!

[@Strict6diesel]

You’re channel is underrated in the diesel field. Your knowledge of the racing side of things and openly explaining it to everyone is something most big rollers in the industry has kept as secrets,or either don’t explain near as well as you. Keep it up man! We appreciate the informative content !

[@LoganbuiltRaceShop]

Thank you! Getting as much info out there as possible helps us all grow! The videos keep me thinking so making them are beneficial for me too!

[@bre3ze259]

You're doing great with this KZbin thing, Logan. In no time, your channel will blow up and get the views, recognition and following it very well deserves. The wealth of knowledge and how you explain everything so simply is quite impressive. Hope you and your fam had a great Christmas and New Year. Stoked for more content!

Thank you so much!!

Thanks Logan. Great topic coverage.

[@TheDe3th]

Glad you covered it, I have lots of experience on gas engines, I guess the one thing you didn’t cover that might help guys is lowest rpm to spray nitrous.

[@davidbosch3779]

Awesome Video great info Thanks

[@jackskonieczny2353]

Great video, helped that it was diesel specific as well.

[@LoganbuiltRaceShop]

Thanks!

Video I been looking for 👍

Got a question. What dry setup would ya recommend on a 3406e CAT. This would only be for 18th gear pulls to shut some mouths up once in a while lol.

[@muddogadventures]

can you run a spool jet before a water to air intercooler or will it freeze the water. I normally run anifreeze in my intercooler at 50/50 but I'm getting ready to add a spool jet and maybe a second kit . I mud race and our run is over at 200 feet

[@LoganbuiltRaceShop]

On the fossil I run the spool jet pre intercooler and I have an air to water intercooler as well. No issues there!

[@pavilpezinsky3914]

Isnt propane (maybe along with water injection) used as a diesel version of Nos injection? (I read about it in a 4Wheeler magazine maybe 25 years ago).

[@DarkAttack14]

Ehhh bit different, with propane you are not adding any extra oxygen so unless you are already running lean on straight diesel you wont get as big a boost. Water methanol injection can overcome some of that because methanol is an oxygenated alcohol. Nitrous alone you are just adding a ton of extra oxygen but without extra fuel to burn you won't achieve much

@@DarkAttack14 gotchya. Thank you

[@ew10j4turbo]

💯💯💯💯 let me know if i Can use only methanol in a snow performance kit in my turbo diésel engine

[@LoganbuiltRaceShop]

I personally am not a fan of any methanol injection. If you’re going to use it, I wouldn’t go over a 50/50 mix

[@JohnSmith-rq1tm]

Why don't you run a regulator and keep the bottle pressure down to like 850psi?? And use larger jets to compensate the horsepower loss

[@LoganbuiltRaceShop]

Flow is the issue. A nitrous bottle is not being fed pressure by an outside source such as a pump. You only have the volume & pressure that is in the bottle. The flow & pressure decreases as you begin to use the nitrous. If you put a regulator on it and compensated with a larger get that would work on the initial opening of the solenoid but as the pressure began to decrease your regulator would become a restriction. This is the reason that pro nitrous racing cars don’t even use a quick disconnect fitting on the bottle. There can’t be any restriction or regulation before the jet.

[@raulmolina91]

Can I run a wet kit with a wmi system?

[@LoganbuiltRaceShop]

No you cannot. Water needs to be pressurized to 800+ psi to be effective. The fuel solenoids on a wet kit are not deigned to handle that high pressure
