Turby Winter '08/'09 rebuild **"almost done" pics, post 424

JT76> Turbols1ss 09’? :roflpicard:

i said i didn’t want to break any records… and i really don’t, but i think my goal surprisingly would beat the turbo T56 driven LS1 record, at least that i know of. so far i think it is only like 9.6ish, which is pretty weak. most people give up and go auto. these cars do not respond well with a turbo and a t56. it will take some work, but i really haven’t spent a lot of time (if any) at the track these last couple years. with a well working setup and some seat time, and new toys i think it is doable, as long as the car holds up, mainly my tranny :frowning: really hate to beat the shit out of the tranny, but i want to enjoy the car at the track.

:tup: Nice progress.

you don’t visit anymore…

Is the secret for 09 nawz?

:lol:

Everyone knows that turbo motors love the juice! :wink:

:lol:

NAWWWWZZZ

im sure that will make things better if it catches fire again :roflpicard:

lol nitrous isnt flammable

once it leaves the tank, and is in the lines which lead to a COMBUSTABLE engine it is :slight_smile:

no, no it isnt.

but really… once it leaves the tank and exists liquid form it is

I know :meh:. I’ve been owned living in NJ for work, and finishing my kitchen. Soon I can get out again.

Nitrous Oxide, N20, is NOT flammable by itself. At high temperatures(in excess of 500 degrees F), it breaks down into it’s two components. 2 N2O become 2 N2 and 1 O2. N2O is 38% oxygen by weight. Normal atmosphere(the stuff you’re breathing right now, and the stuff that goes into your car engine too) is about 78% Nitrogen(N2) and about 21% Oxygen(O2). So when the Nitrous breaks down, it adds a greater concentration of oxygen than is present in normal air. Extra fuel must simultaneously be added, and the extra oxygen is used to provide the bigger bang. Same thing a turbo or supercharger does, getting more oxygen in the cylinder so you can burn more gas. Nitrous is also more dense than normal air, adding even more oxygen to the equation. In addition, when nitrous converts into a gas from a liquid when it is injected, it cools down VERY rapidly, which also lowers the air temperature in the intake by as much as 75F, increasing the air density and allowing more oxygen into the cylinder yet again, the same way an intercooler does for a turbo system. if the temperature was high enough to split the N2O, it would add more oxygen and accelerate the fire. if the lines are burned through it could be spraying out the lines. If it overpressures, it would possibly could blow the safety valve and started venting right into the middle of the fire. A tank rupturing can create enough force just from the concussion to cause heavy damage and an explosion.

The oxygen in the Nitrous is what is flammable, not the Nitrous itself. It you take an open flame and spray it with nitrous, it will not be like a flame thrower.

i know the nitrous will actually put out the flame lol. im saying when its already been sprayed in the car, it becomes flammable

and if the bottle is punctured somehow in a fire it will explode

This should lead to a nice “heated” debate…

:roflpicard:

1.Look at the picture of Bill holding the N2O bottle.
2. See the tiny little green square? That’s the DOT hazardous material identification label for a NON-FLAMMABLE GAS
