Makes the cast smother than a babys butt. #powerdrivendiesel did a blanket dyno test . No extra power(same peak)but power came on faster(less rpm spools quicker) power. VHT 2000° works if it never gets hit with water when hot( stuff starts flying off like popcorn in a hot skillet). I painted to prevent corrosion then I rapped.

I used this same method on a supercharged ecotec. The LSJ uses an air to water intercooler and a 1L supercharger. Mine was using a 2.7inch pulley and cruising intake temps were in the 140-160 degree range. I added nitrous to the mix and the car increased boost pressure by 3lbs and a substantial gain in power. Intake temps also dropped from 140-160 down to 60 degrees with only the nitrous being the change. I added an ice tank to the intercooler and dropped temps even further and past freezing with the nitrous added on top.

There's a fundamental problem with this kind of test, and that's injected fluids hitting the thermocouple and shifting the readings (always in a more favorable direction). Spraying pre-compressor will at least ensure the fluids are thoroughly mixed before they reach the TC. Some people that have done this test have concluded that pre-compressor injection doesn't cool as well, but it's likely just the result of getting a more accurate temp reading. Getting reliable data is always the hard part in these tests, don't trust everything your sensors tell you. :o)
@alltheboost53632 жыл бұрын
I think the reason why boost went up when you activated the nitrous this because turbos work off of heat... and the heat dramatically increased in the exhaust I think the other half of it is if back pressure goes up boost goes up if the turbo is in its efficiency range.

Hey Richard, this is probably a old video, im enjoying it non the less. Here in South africa its not uncommon to see turbo cars running quite a bit of nitrous, mostly for the power gains instead of cooling. I would love to see some of those huge stroker engines like the 632 offered by blue print engines, and even smaller ones. i know there is stroker kits for almost any v8 engine on the market, but one that has always pulled me is the ford 390 fe, in stock form and i stand to be corrected, they came in 390ci, 410ci, and 427ci, stroker kits takes them way over 500ci. i would also like to see some extremely high hp engines, 1000hp is childs play these days, many a drag car is over 1000hp now.

Instead of just cooling the charged air, I wonder if cooling the ambient air coming into the turbo by placing a jet at the turbo Inlet keeps the temperature of the turbo itself down under a load and lowers charged air temps better than just having a jet in your charge pipe. Or if a small jet outside the turbo spraying into the compressor AND a jet in the charge pipe is better than just one or the other. Say you’re spraying 150 shot into the charge pipe or the turbo compressor, do 75 into turbo compressor and 75 into charge pipe.
