Nitrous Oxide. It is a simple, cost-effective way to get more power from your engine. Yet to some, it is known as a dangerous, piston-melting chemical that requires arcane wizardry to get right. Fortunately for us, Tuning Fork is here to de-mystify the spray. So get on the giggle gas with us as we laugh all the way to an extra 100HP of fun!

Great video, to show just how modern electronics make tuning for Nitrous some what trivial and much safer. Set up the conditions Set up the protections Put in the values for the ECU to target. Happy days.

I really enjoyed this video. Lots of learning you provided. Once I have my LS1 installed into my 1978 Camaro, I will definitely install a NOS system!! I learned a lot before going to bed in Opelousas Louisiana!! Lots of people use NOS on the streets here. It is Amazing!!

Scott, any chance of re-directing the purge lines into a cabin-mounted face mask? Waste not want not...

Also a great example of the untapped potential in a VY v8 I'm cracking 200rwkw in a sv6 with cams/tune. But my torque curve is no where near as flat as that. My wife's VY SS makes a ton power more with just an exhaust, intake and tune. Clearly I'll have to add nitrous to my VE :D I guess the biggest disadvantage is needing to disconnect the bottle on the street... But none of you need that power on the street... Right?

Great video as always guys. For future reference, 3rd gear is 1:1 in VT-VZ LS1 4 speed autos. Cheers

What fuel was being used during this test? You mention unleaded but was it higher octane fuel and does the octane rating of the fuel change what timing you pull or how much extra fuel you add? Great video 👍

@JordyValentine

He will most likely be referring to Australian premium 98. Note that some countries measure RON differently so our 98 might be lower octane compared to your local premium fuel

What should the A/F ratio be with nitrous? Also what about spark plug gap ? I can’t change the timing but I’m running I heat range colder plugs.

When installing wet nitrous system to a completely stock naturally aspirated car (including ECU) with a restrictive exhaust system (cat, resonator, silencer) is there any precautions one should take? I am kind of worried that I would blow out the cats or car would lean itself to death even with a fuel jet.

@haltech , What afr should I target for a sr20ve NA on 100hp nitrous dry kit , built block , head has springs and retainer kit do you have a formula to calculate in lbs/hr the fuel flow I would need for 100hp dry kit at 950psi bottle pressure How can I estimate the fuel flow needed ? To obtain a desired afr ,

Slap some in a Ford Boss boat anchor, i've seen one in my life, stock except for exhaust with a sneaky injector under the throttle body and it went nearly as hard as my supercharged 260 lol.

Does spraying before or after iat sensor have different effects?

And the stock injectors could handle supporting an extra 50-100hp? Can most stock fuel injectors handle an extra 50-100hp?

Out of curiosity, how long would that bottle last on a quarter mile or roll racing with 100hp shot? And any idea on refilling costs?

About $130 to refill a 10lb bottle, 10s per pound at 100hp rate, so you will get about 100 seconds of use from a full 10lb bottle.

I wish Marty's Civic build put a nitrous oxide... Let see what happen to that b series... Will it be in the bin?

I don't fully understand the physics behind the nitrous filling the intake manifold during rev limiter as the throttle is wide open and the cylinders would be taking in the same amount of air (roughly) from the manifold at 6000rpm vs 5750rpm when it shuts off no? Would the nitrous not go through the cylinders unburnt just like the air/fuel mixture would if under ignition cut? Because the valves are still opening and the pistons still creating vacuum in the cylinders. Basically why does rev limiter cause the nitrous to sit in the manifold and not go through the engine? I understand it's a waste of the nitrous and has no performance benefit at rev limiter I'm not trying to argue that at all lol purely trying to understand what's said at 13:30 . I've never had a car on a dyno or done any tuning before so have no practical experience of the engine's conditions under rev limiter. Thanks :)

You guys are thinking too simple with the purge valve out the hood. Point it at the intercooler so it gets a little cooler before your run.

Typically you really only need to pull 1 degree for every 100-150hp so there's a little room for more power there. Often with as low as a 50 shot, you can get away with not pulling any timing (still add fueling of course) a turbo and nitrous application for 50-100 I would pull about 2 degrees still.
