I’ve been running nitrous on turbo and centrifugal supercharger combos for years and years. and you should too. They love each other and it would be rude and completely unromantic not to let them live happily ever after together. I might argue that a nitrous squirt is safer than a scramble button in a lot of instances, so unless the rules say you can’t, I’m always going to have nitrous on my boosted combos. In this video Richard takes us through the testing of nitrous on a turbo 5.3LS so you can see just how the power changes, what the effects are on air-fuel, boost curves, etc, and how to tune this thing to keep it happy and not hurt things. It’s completely doable and simple with today’s technology, so don’t fear! Do it, and you’ll be happy you did.
Video Description:
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU RUN NITROUS ON A TURBO MOTOR? DOES NITROUS INCREASE BOOST? HOW TO DO TUNE A TURBO MOTOR WITH NITROUS? WILL I BLOW MY MOTOR UP COMBINING NITROUS AND BOOST? HOW MUCH BOOST CAN I RUN WITH NITROUS? WHAT HAPPENS TO THE BOOST CURVE? WHAT HAPPENS TO THE A/F MIXTURE? SHOULD IT RETARD THE TIMING? ALL THESE QUESTION AND MORE ARE ANSWERED IN THIS VIDEO WHERE I RAN A TURBO 5.3L FROM STRICTLY PERFORMANCE, THEN ADDED A ZEX WET EFI NITROUS KIT. I HAVE DATA LOGGING ON THE CHANGE IN POWER, THE CHANGE IN BOOST AND CHANGE IN AIR/FUEL MIXTURE. PLUS (AS ALWAYS) I CRANKED UP THE BOOST!
