nitrous problem

BLU BY U · 01-12-2007, 05:17 PM

Seems the car is getting too much fuel for the nitrous being used. I was always told that you wanted a lot of fuel when using nitrous, so, where is there a lot of fuel? I have a wet system and fuel is wet and there's a lot of it in the gas tank. I just never thought that 900 psi from the nitrous bottle plumbed into the gas tank would cause the injectors to just dump fuel and nitrous into the motor. I wonder if the ratio of fuel to nitrous in the gas tank was the culprit. Well, anyway, I've removed the nitrous nozzle and plugged the hole with a cork. I suppose I'll give it a little more thought and try to come up with a better place.

Now I guess I know why I had so much air in the tank when I opened the gas cap after a nitrous run

I hope you used real cork and not the prefabricated kind.

BLU BY U · 01-12-2007, 05:59 PM

how do i tell the difference?

Real cork is very porous and has compression lines similar to Styrofoam. Prefabricated cork is much harder and has a plastic ring surrounding the icing in the middle. If your petrol dissolves the icing center, the sugar will clog your fuel injector intakes, causing the drive-by-wire to permanently idle at 4000 RPMs.

Biiiiiig no-no.

well ****.

Your problem could be that you have gaseous nitrogen mixing with fuel instead of liquid nitrogen. In order for that setup to work properly, you need an agitator (like what you would find in a washing machine) in the fuel tank to properly mix the liquid nitrogen with the fuel. This will produce the desired 50/50 ratio that you are seeking.

Nitrogenated petrol. Yummy. Like sparkling water that can run the car.

You're such a l337 noob.

In before the lock!

Hmmm...I just noticed you are also a disciple of Discord. How have I missed that?

I left my robe at home. Amen.

The problem is that you need to get the nozzle closer to the fuel pump... That happend to me, and I could never have the tank passed 3 bars untill I figured it out.

Why did you plumb into the gas tank and not the fuel line up front with a tee fitting by AN or Earls?

what kit are you running?

Tom1222 · 01-20-2007, 01:59 PM

I think the new Civics prefer the dry System.

Omes · 01-20-2007, 03:17 PM

Yeah, definitely invest in a dry system and plumb it into the fuel tank. It's the perfect workaround to the returnless fuel system. BTW, I think BLU BY U has too much pressure going into his gas tank. I would recommend getting a regulator and only allowing 600psi into the gas tank.

psykotik maniak · 01-21-2007, 12:49 AM

cant run dry kits without EM.. it wouldnt give a proper nitrous/fuel ratio
