Distractions when Driving Rc's

[RaCinJason399]

Nitrous is air it gives the motor more air to make more power it dont make it run cooler...:flamer:

I don't think it makes yer car run at higher rpms...that's what valve springs do

lets just clear this all up with this:

Nitrous oxide does not burn, it is an oxidizer. It provides more oxygen, so more fuel can be burned, and the result is more power. The atoms in a nitrous oxide molecule are bonded together. The oxygen is not free, but fortunately the bond breaks down as temperature rises. At 565° F, the bond is broken and the oxygen is then free. Combustion temperatures are much more than 565°, so it's not a problem. By adding nitrous oxide to an engine, the total amount of oxygen is increased and other gasses that do not support combustion (mostly nitrogen) are decreased. This speeds the burn rate and requires less timing advance for peak output. It is hard from many people to grasp gaining power with less timing, but it's a fact. Peak cylinder pressure must occur at approximately 20°ATDC to make peak power. If you speed the burn rate, peak cylinder pressure will occur too soon. It is easy to run too much ignition advance with nitrous, but too much will not only hurt power, it can quickly bring a nitrous engine into detonation and destroy it.

Cooling effects:

Cooler intake air is denser and contain more oxygen atoms per cubic foot. So cooler air will allow more fuel to be burned and intern make more power. A 10 degree drop in temperature can add 1 to 1.5% power to an engine. Nitrous oxide boils at -129°F and it will begin to boil as soon as it is injected. This can cause a 80° or so drop in manifold air temperature. Now if we are dealing with say a 400 hp engine, we can see well over 30 hp gained from the cooling effect alone. This cooling effect also helps the engine deal with detonation.

Any questions:stickup:

Now THAT sir is some good reading!

Bravo!

:clap:

 

[kwong2001]

I think somebody has tweaked a few engines

I bow to you sir, you have done your homework:worship:

Ha-Told you! NOS Makes engines run cooler so HP can be gained. Done. But, When i said NitrogenOxide, I meant NitrousOxide. I took biology so i know this poop. BTW: Nos sucks! NX and Venom are way better!

he's either tweaked a few engines or seen that movie "The Fast and the Furious".

:jk: I learned a lots in that post ..

Me 2. I learned not to stare at hot girls while driving a expansive investment known as an RC car.

The cooling benifit is a side effect if you will and the main HP gain is not from cooling but it does help.

and NOS is way more Chemistry, physics, and math more than Biology but keep in school because its good for you.:fro:

Hey, This is the order of my Science classes throughout high school. BIOLOGY, CHEMISTRY, BIOLOGY2, Ecology(something like that) and I get a free period as a senior. But we learned periodic table during bio. But Alot of the HP gain comes from Cooling.

nitrosoxide NO2

Nitromethane CH1NO2

as u can see nitrosoxide is not flammable. It is just to gases oxygen (O2) and nitrogen (N) nitromethane however is very combustable, as it is nitrated propane gas. Thank you. And by the way - 90% of the power generated by NO2 comes from the increase in O2 molocules, as humbolt has mentioned. Very little increase in performance can be felt by using its cooling effects.

 

[kwong2001]

:OT: Damn kellen, Everytime i goto the board, I see that you respond to every damn thread hehe...I thought I posted a lot

 

[SilentHunterKellen]

Yes I do, I just like to get my Name around...well not really, but I like to talk to people. Before school is boring, So is between School and Baseball.

You still really dont get it if you think the cooling effect is a good portion of the power gain it is not its probably %10 or less, but every bit counts when your in the HP game.

Sorry to get technical but it is Humboldt with a "D" it is a famous county in California.

sorry bro - i type fast on posts, since i am at work, and make typos alot.

 

[HumboldtBlazer]

its all good just everybody makes that mistake so I thought I'd throw it out there.

 

[Supernitro17]

newbie is right.... actually a lot of the time with nitrous you have to worry about running to HOT , because of all the added oxygen in the cylinders you run a little leaner and therefor the nitrous wont cool anything... ALSO for a nitrous tank to have adequate pressure it must be heated, and usually you can't effectively or safely run nitrous unless the pressure is very high this is usually indicated by a temp of 1200 degrees in the tank... i know this because i have and use it (but it is for sale) and have been around it for years
