Default Getting The Facts

Getting The Facts

Getting the facts is going to be a series of technical explanations to better educate you with factual and safe information. I have noticed a new trend here on the forum. Many of the more experienced members have moved on and there are a lot of first timers that have never used nitrous before or have just started to use nitrous. I feel that a lot of poor information and advice are been given to these people who do not have enough knowledge to know what is correct or wrong. Due to the very limited amount of free time I have these days I am hoping that these technical explanations will give you the tools and knowledge to better educate yourself and others as they learn. My mission is to better educate you, give you the knowledge to better educate others, and teach you how certain products work and why they should or should not be used.

My plans are to try to make a technical post a week. I know with how busy we stay there may be times my post are a little late. Regardless, look for it.

I have a list of things I plan to cover. I plan on covering some very simple things to some very technical things. I promise you will learn something reading my technical explanations.

If you have something you would like covered in great detail please feel free to post in this area telling me what you want to have covered or shoot me a pm. I will work it into my line up.


Dave

Agreed.



...i have a feeling i know exactly why this is happening now too, LOL. Reguardless, it's a great idea & we all probably should have pulled together & done this a while back.


Let's cover this one correctly this time, here ya go Dave.....

Explain the differences, advantages, disadvantage & dangers of wet & dry kits alike. Thats a great starting point, everything else should fall under that I'd say.

Sounds a great idea.
The stickies are good for a basic understanding, but it would be great to have a part 2, for those who want to expand their understanding of n2o.

More pictures are needed..........

It would be good to explain the differances between plate kits and nozzels.

Well I just read that thread and I gotta say it opened my eyes. I didn't know about a lot of those advantages to a dry kit. Of course, my books were all published circa 1985, LOL. Looking forward to learning more.

There are already a bunch of those out there. Here is one of the ones I consider the best. The key thing to remember for reading plugs is you have to shut the engine down right after the run. Even driving back to the pits at the track will change the reading on the plugs.

Dave, as for article recommendations. I think a good write up on the styles of systems would help folks. Something going into detail about single nozzle, multi nozzle, plates, DP, and stand alone systems would cover most topics for new folks.

I wish someone would make a gif on whats actually going on inside the cylinder before and after nitrous is being sprayed. That way it will show why timing needs to be pulled and things of that nature.
