So what exactly is needed for the fuel side of a wet propane/nitrous shot? Bottle, plumbing, ragaulator? What about jet sizing? Any one have any informative links?

 

Anyone??? TTT

 

The jetting is the part that makes it valuable.

We have used it upto a 125 shot. The torque numbers are unreal. It can be a real advantage, especially since propane burns at 104 octane and is its own fuel system.

No one will really tell you what the jetting should be. It takes a lot of R&D to get it right.

 

i got this info from aguy on here who tried it, so you know where you can start around or have an idea

"We were running 36's on the dry side and 63/32 on the propane side and the AFR was 12.8-13.0 the bottle pressure was 950psi. And that was good for about an extra 200RWHP. I would probably run a 34-36 on the fuel just to give it a little more of a cushion. Or better yet 32's on the dry side. Basically we were trying to make up for the fact that the dry side was a little lean. We have tried some diffrent settings with the propane. Not as much as I would like to but we only have so much time on the dyno. The set up that I've been running is 30 on the dry side and 63/30 on the propane which is good for 165RWHP and 285ft/lbs."

 

I dont mind doing some R&D for the jetting (even if it costs me a motor). How the propane plumbed is what I would really like to know. Is it bottle, regulator, selonoid, fogger. If a regulator is in fact used what is the PSI set to?

 

Lets keep this one going..... very interested......

 

What about that set up that tv show "trucks" did with a n2o/propane with a duramax? I think it was a bullydog system, if that helps

 

That is a different setup/idea. Propane on a diesel has a power adding effect kindda like nitrous. However a diesel can not lean burn so the nitrous can be used with out any additional fuel added!! The propane/nitrous setup by bullydog are two separete stand alone setup that can be used alone or together.

I want to use propane for the fuel side of a wet shot. However I have some facts I want to know befor I get to deep in it. And searching the internet has not yet yelded any real info on propane/N2O

 

here's some links from this board if you haven't already searched...

If you ever plan on drag racing the car I wouldn't do this,tech inspectors take a very dim veiw on pressurized fuel tanks.Don't ask me how I know.
