Nitrous on a RL???

[LANDSCAPE]

Looking for some input here, would a "dry" Nos system work with the redline?

If not, please explain.

I've seen the system setup and it looks doable as far as havin the spray come into the engine after the IC just ahead of the TB. I'm wondering how the direct injection will be effected, and things of this nature.

Thanks in advance

I'd avoid it...dry systems are not compatible with RL's engine management. The only way I would do it is with a separate N20/fuel nozzle at each cylinder. And then, I'd only do a small shot, with 100 octane or better. But even that's not so good, cause small shots on four-nozzle systems have really small jets that clog easily. So yeah...maybe do something else!

got a ? eco, off topic, i was wondering, is there any chance of yall making a turbo manifold for the redline/gxp. the stock one seems REALLY restrictive and no one makes an aftermarket manifold. i would DEFINITELY be interested in one.

Nice try matey


I agree with Bill. A direct port injection would be best, and most will be 75 HP minimum.

A wet system would be better, but you still need some form of ecm control, currently hptuners is a bit limited so you'll have to wait.

Have you measured the inside diameter of the runners? What makes you say its restrictive?

Hmm good thread topic, I was wondering myself. Obviously a dry shot would be out of the question because I doubt the ECU would like that.

A wet shot is the better option for F/I engines but I'm wondering how that will work with the direct injection. DI runs more fuel psi (anyone have a number?) so you may have to play with the jetting for awhile to get it right.

You would get your fuel supply from the Schrader valve located on top of the intake manifold. It is fed from the in-tank pump (50-60 psi is my guess) and feeds the cam driven fuel pump that cranks out the real pressure. Like most EFI wet kits, your fuel supply would come from the Schrader valve and should be similar pressure to any late model GM.

Ah so theres a cam driven fuel pump after the valve huh? I really haven't done research on this specific engine, I'm just going by knowledge with my previous cars. If thats the case thoug than yeah a wet kit should work with no problems. I do have a spare kit laying in the garage.....

I'd strongly suggest you do not rely on the intake manifold to distribute fuel correctly with a single nozzle. The mere fact that this manifold is 'upside down' (air flows upward) can be a real detriment to fuel distribution with a single N20/fuel nozzle. Port nozzles, if only for the fuel, would be the way to go

This question needs to be followed up with another question.

Other than for the obvious reasons why would you even want to put Nitrous on your RL?

You want more power? Get a tune from one of the many sources.
You want WAY more power? Do a Turbo swap.

Nitrous is an inexpensive solution for an engine that otherwise doesn't readily have the means to produce big power gains. When you have a Turbocharged engine you already usually have much more power available you just need to follow a few simple steps to unleash it.

The IM on my ZX2 flows upward and I never had any problems with it and neither has anyone else that I can think of.

Did you spray a fuel and nitrous mixture through the upflow throttle body?

[R3DLIN3]

I would be more concerned about the fact that you do not have control over when the throttle body opens and closes, you can only make suggestions to the computer...
