Nitrous with 3bbl's

[Inline6Merc]

How would you go about putting nitrous in, with 3 one barrel carbs? How much could you pump in the engine?

Make an Aluminum spacer plate and drill a hole for the injector. RUn a normal amount of nitrous, just use smaller nozzles (check with a shop that does it, I don't know enough about nitrous to say what size).

What do you mean should i run a fogger nozzle to all 3 carbs? Would that be too much gas, since nitrouse nad gas would be mixed with the exciting carb gas?

 

[CobraSix]

Yes and no. Run it to all 3 carbs, but run nozzles (which dictate how much comes out) 1/3 of the size needed if you were running 1 carb in the center. That way you split the nitrous between all 6 cylinders more evenly.

What do you meen by "nozzles"? SHould i run them directly into the manifold?

 

[trashline]

you need to drill holes into your carb spacers and mount the jets in the holes. mandarana racing has a nice set up. he has a two barrel carb with an edelbrock nos kit check out his website. he runs a 50 hp shot which i think our stock engines can only handle you need to divide that up by three which is 16 i dont know if they make a jet this small . but on ejet goes into each carb spacer that you make up.

 

[CobraSix]

yeah...jets...not nozzles. Sorry, was thinking EFI

Do they sell something like a fogger nozzle but it dosen't inject gas? IF i were to use fogger nozles would that be too much gas because that is what im thinkin.

Thanks guys

i hope i dont steer you wrong but if you would want to use fogger nozzle first off that is alot of nitrous and gas i think and second you would have to drill a spot for the nozzle in the carb spacer, or i would say direct port it for every two cylinders in the head just under the offy intake not sure if that would work but i think it would give u the best mixture if it works


But then again i dont know too much about nitrous either and im sure that Cobrasix knows alot more about engines then i do

What if i just ran nitrous to the center carb? Someone must make a nozzle that just shoots nitrous insted of nirtous and gas.

Thanks guys

You really need to have the nitrous and the gas, the nitrous carries it's own oxygen, so you need to have extra fuel (besides what your carbs provide). Otherwise your mixture will go WAY lean, that's when you start getting into melting piston territory.

Most cars that have a lot of nitrous have a dedicated (it's own electric pump and lines, etc.) fuel system just for the nitrous...

I think that where nitrous gets it's bad rep, how most people think if you use nitrous it will automatically blow or damage your engine... it's from when people don't provide the extra fuel enrichment needed for the nitrous.

Although I am not a nitrous 'expert' and I don't have first hand knowledge of it...
