Default Dyno #'s on my Lawnmower inside!

So 2000 Tran Zam and i got bored over the weekend and decided to fab up a direct port nitrous system for my Yard Machine Lawn Mower (mode:13AC762FA729). Stock its 13 1/2 hp.

we dipped the cam sprockets in brass for added strength and forged the bottom end so we wouldn't toss a spark plug bearing.

We decided to spray a 75 shot on it and made 106.3rwhp/112.7rwtq.

Let me say this thing is incredible. The mixture of the N20 and premix of 2 cycle oil and 91 octane made optimal HP to enrich the blades to cut the grass at a perfect rate. Its actually almost scary.



i rev this bad boy well past 7k where it peak hp is made and it send blades of grass flying with such a force. I even had a few stick into my fence.

i have to wear a body suit when i mow the grass now because i fear that one day one of the blades of grass well end up severing one of my limbs. my neighbors were looking at me as if i was some sort of alien reject, when i was wearing this body armored space suit. But i just simple smiled and waved back.

HAHA, this guy is awesome... I've thought about doing the same thing on my rider.Unfortunately time=money and this is just crazy. I think some rednecks in the midwest actually race their lawnmowers... you may have a record holder there...

Damn I gotta do that to our 16hp B&S riding tractor. Towed a jetboat out of the garage (uphill) and to the front yard over the weekend with it, with ALOT of N20 I might be able to pull it to the ramp and out

Pictures and video as soon as possible. You will post pictures of this, it's one of those things you just have to see.

How the hell do you do all this? Forged mower bottom end? Does the trans seem to like it and do you have the bottle just sitting on the back of the mower. Just to freak out your neighbors more you should strap it to your back like a back pack. Nitrous bottle back pack, silver suit, and get a helmet, now that would be funny.

With 100+hp I say it could do a lot more than that, it could probably beat a civic DX.

EDIT: Damn same time post and idea with the civic thing, Odd

I think this is fake. Why does the dyno cross at ~4800? You guys have been fooled.

Man, that thing is a rocket!!!

We've only been on it a couple times and the tires are starting to wear down a lot.

Im thinking whether or not if we should put a fogger plate on it...

Only thing I can think of why it shows to cross at 4800 rpm is due to the wierd style of the graph, given the HP increments...
