JUNKYARD LS (LOW $-BIG NOS) FULL RESULTS!

BIG BANG LS NITROUS TEST-FULL RESULTS. Will a stock bottom end take a 500-hp shot? We ran individual stages successfully on the SBE 5.3L, but check out what happened when we combined them to supply 500 hp to our 500-hp 5.3L LS. My fault it all went bad! Here is why.

Next time use propane on the fuel side of the nitrous LP to NO2 is a 1:1 ratio. You won’t have the lean spike and you won’t be stealing fuel from the injection or fuel rails. LP is also 115 octane and will not puddle inside the intake manifold It works awesome

[@southernracing2468]

I’ve never heard of using propane with nitrous, I’ve seen propane converted cars so I definitely could see it working out great

I vote for a dry setup with the fuel being done properly by the primary injection system. This can also be done on any stock intake as well, and I think those would be nice to see (simply because low buck guys aren't gonna buy big intakes if they done have to). ;)

Great video ;) Dry with the ECU controlling all the fuel with a proper VE tune that can compensate in the event of fuel pressure drops.

[@rexwarren3052]

Ya nitrous is safer to run with fuel

[@johnvirgilwilliammccoy2332]

Richard, I believe not ramping in either kit. Caused a siphoning of air, hence the lean ratio for the application. Huge low pressure area was created when second stage was introduced.

[@chevyrider0610]

[@mannieecker8602]

Direct port wet and a 250 on the plate would be interesting to see. Also would absolutely love to see a old school 4 bolt 355 or 383 with forged internals and see how the stock block would react. I honestly believe a lot of people discredit the old sbc when there tuneups are to Blame. 👍🏼.

[@charlesrives9092]

In getting ready to run nitrous on my engine, I was warned about A/F on multiple stages. My guess is that the fuel on the second stage was slower to the jet than the nitrous was and it went lean. Also could have been a dip in fuel pressure. I have also heard not to run plates on a tunnel ram- all that nitrous and fuel in the intake make for a nice bomb (as witnessed in the video). My thoughts would be a single, large hit on a fogger with a progressive controller (as others have said). Do it wet, not dry as you can get tune info from the manufacturer and not have to guess with the pulse width on the EFI.

[@ChoatesCoatsandCustoms]

Thank you! Iv been wondering the results for seems like a year or 2.

[@thehappytexan]

Would definitely run a wet fogger setup for precise cylinder to cylinder afr control and use a controller to ramp in the the hit so you have less stress/more time to monitor afr’s.

[@BadLuckGarage]

Yep, I’m pretty much about to do this same thing with the Chaos Theory Camaro. 😂

I would love to know how far we can go on a stock bottom end with properly controlled dry system. How to use bigger injectors and such.

[@michaelmarshall3729]

Lots of nitrous and FI love, Would love to see some max effort high compression NA tests.

[@mikerichmond6199]

Progressive controller and a designated fuel system just for the nitrous system should help. Losing fuel pressure when the second stage hits probably caused the lean condition. I also like to use a fuel pressure safety switch that will not allow nitrous solenoids to fire if min fuel delivery is not present. Cool videos keep em coming love this channel.

I’ve got a thing for N/A Nitromethane V8 engines , like those ran in Top Alcohol class, but it’s hard to find dyno numbers. I imagine because there are few of these engines and they choke out the dyno cell with poison fumes.

[@txvillageidiot]

Do you think the fuel leaking out of the rail on the left side had anything to do with the lean condition? It's dripping in all the setups.

[@jasonbrown779]

As a proud owner of a nitrous feed SBE 5.3, I can't wait to see the 2nd part. Keep em coming, enjoying every video...

[@jasonbrown779]

Wonder how much more N/A hp would you get if you bump the compression up with some dome piston on that 5.3?

[@erikbondesson2615]

Progressive nitrous controller and a wet direct port system will make it go for the 1000hp. a dedicated fuel system for the fuel solenoids with higher pressure, like 43,5 psi will be much more stabilize with smaller pressure drop when it activates

[@DaOnE51T]

Multiple kits are very tricky. After running each kit separately. I would of started small with both kits on and worked your way up. That way you could of caught the lean issue before it blew the motor. Next test, run it with a single 4150 carb, Super Vic intake, individual fogger/cylinder with a progressive nitrous controller. One kit one carb = KISS theory

[@kbracing96]

Personally, I would run it dry, direct port with holley close loop WB doing the fueling and a built in AFR safety that a lean spike longer than .5 second would kill the nitrous. And bring both stages in progressively with a Holley solid state relay.

[@hpjunkie73]

Definitely spray wet , especially through a fogger. And add a burst panel to that intake !

[@elainestamper3873]

That was cool!

[@Tommy-B.]

I’d like to see how you set up injectors on a dry fogger kit.

[@SP33D3M0N03]

I'd like to see the high ram plate system used!

[@Darkhalfcustoms]

I'm sure you already know this But, I was told by an old drag car engine builder "You should remove all sharp edges in the chamber and piston when you playing with NOS." He also recommended a piston button be installed but, I didn't know what those were.

[@thedude7726]

[@escuelaviejafarms]

Love the dogs!

[@gsxrred1000]

That was awesome. That’s all I have to say! 👍

[@raymondleathers5921]

I’m going to have to agree. You need a nitrous controller so you can ramp it in easier. I would also make sure you have enough pump on those systems. Physically bench test it. Don’t just go based on it’s flow specs. Stick both plates in a bucket and flow them as a complete system at the same time and measure the volume of fuel. Even if you change over to fogger I’d still do this and try and pin point where the problem was.

[@jord9308]

How about using those O2 sensors with a nitrous controller to shut off NO when it goes lean? Enjoyed the explosion!

[@tomwhite9034]

Ha ha ha ha it looked so awesome but wouldn't wish it on any1 lol. Thank you Richard

[@MississippiDan1]

I figured this would happen... I set up a two stage kit on a 454 and had success but one stage was through foggers and the other through a big shot plate. The plates don't seem to flow enough fuel at high hp numbers as you need an exponential amount of fuel for that much nitrous. I have a plate im going to drill out and try e85... That's my remedy... Put the kits on e85 with 40% more fuel and start rich.

[@scottwho7976]

I enjoy your videos and educational content, I just wish I also had your budget! All the aftermarket parts destroyed aren't cheap for those of us without sponsorship etc lol

[@paulskartslifan4206]

Wet system , don’t care on delivery method but definitely need a 1-2 second ramp up controller , closer to the 2 seconds with bigger than 250 shot. The spike was hitting 200 hp above max Hp as a spike .. that shock is the killer ... don’t know Exactly what happened with the lean out you experienced .. could have been a few things...I think the rule is 2° of timing per 100 shot .. I would have started safe at 10° instead of 8° ... love the videos .. keep me coming ... I bet the next engine will survive the 1000 !!!!! Your a pretty smart dude !!

[@paulmitchell8005]

I'd like to see you carry on from the same combo, I like the simplicity of the sandwich plate rather then the direct port injection which wouldn't be something I couldn't see myself doing

[@joepatenaude3957]

Direct port Fogger setup wet system and individual o2 tune every cylinder

[@timothy7754]

I think you needed to up the fuel right before the second kit. Like you did for the first kit. I would go wet system. I know it more costly. I've seen more lean conditions on the dry set up.

[@tomrados7512]

How about a nitrous outlet puck system test. Recently bought a Edelbrock Victor jr. with it installed in it and curiously wondering how it will work compared to the other setups. Thanks

[@philipdavison459]

I'm sure its been mentioned already but could increasing the fuel pressure for the fuel jets in the plate help the fuel keep up with the nitrous as the button is hit? After all nitrous is injected at a much higher pressure then the fuel

[@jeffbmoss2]

Some data logs: Is fuel pressure stable? Progressive controller to ramp it in w/o the giant rod crushing spike. Some controllers have a lean safety circuit. Map Q of NO2 against torque to keep below a target level. I THINK a dry individual runner foggers would be fine with control of port injectors.

[@The68cam1]

The best way would be dry fogger progressive . Can be fueled correctly by Holley and injectors are more accurate ! But if it goes lean pop ! LoL . You can definitely get there with a wet plate just takes alot of jet changing progressively getting bigger keeping up with the afr . Never use nitrous when lean @@ !! LOL !! Thanks for the great video of what happens when nitrous goes lean . It could have done it on either kit they both had a lean spike that needed attention first before progressing ! Great video !!
