nos seems to be more friendly to higher compression setups than a turbo setup with a ghetto fmu
please explain why it is. i am curious to ur beliefs behind it.
Im curious as well. More than just a simple explanation, some sort of facts behind that as well would make me believe your statement. As of right now, I totally disregard your belief of
high compression + n2o = reliable
Sorry.
When oxygen gets compressed it get hotter. Like in turbo setups the air tempureture rises, so the reason for intercoolers to help lower air temps to avoid detonation. High compression engines compress the air in the cylinder more which is why higher compression engines run hotter. So the 2 factors kind of stack against each other.
As for Nitrous Oxide(NOS). It holds in oxygen until it gets heated up and releases the oxygen. Meaning when injected in an engine NOS gives more oxygen. But the reason why people actually can setup high compression engines with nos is that when nos vaporizes, nitrous oxide provides a significant cooling effect on the intake air. When you reduce the intake air temperature, you increase the air’s density, and this provides even more oxygen inside the cylinder.
Of course with both setups tuning will determine it’s reliablity.
Hope I made sense.
Quite interesting ray. You supported your argument very well - and i think this could be continued in an even further debate. But you made some good points. Thank you.
yes i already knew how nitrous works and how much it can drop intake temps. i agree that tuning should determine the real life situation. i actually agree with the fact that the n2o can be more reliable but only in the sense that u dont use it unless ur at the track. but id still like to know why it would work better with a FMU over a turbo setup. are u insisting their is less room for error in the n2o setup cause of the cooling effect? just curious not challenging ur word. PS i still dont think the setup is reliable :naughty:
