Author Topic: some dyno #'s and a nitrous problem Hungry Hippo ¯ Member # 537 posted                              i went to atp and dyno'd 274hp and 308tq. for my last run i used my 75 shot and it only gave me 20hp across the whole rpm range. my torque shot up by 100 when it first hit then went to 50 and lowered as the rpm's rose. its an NX kit with no bottle heater, but i had 900psi and a full bottle. the a/f ratio was a little over 13:1 then dropped to 11 after 3.5k rpms. jet sizes are what NX specifies. any ideas from the nitrous guys? -------------------- 05 S4 Avant(wagon) 09 C6 H/C/I Posts: 2959 | From: east bay | Registered: Nov 2001  |  : JoeT ¯ Member # 298 posted                                 you uh.... got the nozzle pointed in the right direction? edit: so it made 254 rwhp on motor alone?

So, a Crane2031 and a home port job were worth 20rwhp more than my set up?!!!........ It seems kinda funny how your A/F changes to 11:1 after 3,500rpm... ...Are you running a wet or a dry kit?...How many miles are on your O2's?....

I run 18 degrees of timing on the motor and 10 on a 200 shot and a bottle pressure of 1100 psi Sounds like you had a good shot when you first hit it, but the bottle pressure dropped or like was mentioned, the nitrous solenoid is plugged. Good numbers on the motor !!! Brian [ July 09, 2003, 06:39 PM: Message edited by: TheBrain ] -------------------- 1989 LX vert 342 11.662 @ 116.65 1.57 60ft.

The A/F is good then it went way fat. Thats why you had less power. Check the jets again, and if they are correct, larger jet in nitrous, then you have a bottle pressure problem. 800psi to 1050psi is huge in a nitrous tuneup. IF you have any technical questions, feel free to give me a call. I can tune that kit good over the phone, and diagnose any problems you may be having.
