I am aware of what forced induction is. I also run nitrous on my Mustang. Forced induction is not at all needed in this application. I have been testing this system for over a year now. What happens is as the N2O begins to enhance combustion exhaust pressure goes up due to the exhaust gas leaving at a more rapid rate of speed. This in turn increases fuel tank pressure which provides the engine with 64% more fuel than a normal WOT run without nitrous. Again forced induction is completely not needed to run this system.
 
on such a small engine there is no way to directly insert it without putting it in the tank. dont argue with a racer whos seen others blown
 
How many rc engines have you put nitrous on? It is a totally different game than 1:1 engines. The nitrous is injected at a very low PSI, these engine require very little nitrous to get massive power gains! With such a low PSI (We are talking REALLY low here) there is no need for forced induction.
 
you dont need forced induction if you do it right but the best and easiest way is forced induction with a liitle amount of nitrous you can change that with jetting and the tube inside diameter
 
The major problem with forced unduction on a 2 stroke is the exhaust port, and intake port are open at the same time, forced induction does work but becuase of the ports it makes it difficult to tune, and it also decreases fuel efficiency considerably.
 
i noticed this thread was lacking some of the pictures that NA put in the other thread in General Nitro Talk:

this shows how the nos gets into the system. the engine basically sucks the nos in with the other filtered air.

i also read someone going on an on about dyno results:

I think the scale on proportions of that graph are misleading. it doesn't look like that much more power on the graph, but when you realize it's a 7,000 RPM difference, that's a big deal.

i donno what videos you guys saw but the ones i saw showed an insane boost in speed and a noticable accleration when the nos was given. the video where the tmaxx jumps off the test bed when the nos is given is just sweet.

i think maxxheadroom has proven that it works.

let's see it on a savage! :banana:
 
Just an FYI about the dyno results, the increase in RPM is a 17.8% increase! That was done with 25% fuel, also the top speed of the dragster (The vehicles used in this test) without nitrous was 77 MPH with nitrous it is 94.5 MPH you will also notice the test was only 2.95 seconds long. Yee Haw! BTW Thanks for posting Rob
 
good idea to go with the direct inject into the carburatoer i thought about doing the same thing but making a custom tank and using exhaust pressure with a plate to do it

trying to convince my friend to let me do it on his savage if not ill do it on mine when i get a new engine for it which a ways away
 
i'd like to see that. i too have thought about doing it myself. have you seen one of the "normal" nos bottles used for the whipped cream makers? they don't have the fitting to attach it to any sort of system. maxx has somehow fashioned a fitting on the end of the bottles. take a look at one of those stock bottles and you get stumped before you can even hook the bottle up to the value. then you think about the value and how it has to be so air tight that it isn't funny. then how much nos do you allow in? in my whipped cream maker, it's like a little tiny "ssshh!" that lasts for a fraction of a second. after that the bottle is empty! if you look at maxx's videos, he's able to apply nos over and over again on the same bottle. he's obviously using a very precise value (custom i think) that limits only a small amount of nos to escape the system when opened.

incredible!

i can't imagine the number of hours he's put into this. i know i won't try this at home. too damn hard.
 
you should try it wimp use a metal tank from atomik rc with a plate to push it out and make a valve on the top. use a schrader valve in their but it will need to be welded on too get the right psi amout you could put part of a space blanket on it as a bottle warmer maybe
 
ss....are you for real. Do have a single clue to call your own? Think first then type. Don't do it the other way around.
 
I've made a custom system for a fullsize so i do have aclue on another way to do it that would take more work but work better if done right
 
LOL Take a look at the date on this thread...it's from 2003

Somebody welcome him to this year please!
 
nice search for Nitrous.. Check out some of the threads, and check out superchargers as well and youll find out there both worthless.
 
dude i have a super bottle of nitrois on my tmaxx 3.3 it is a 7 oz bottle and my maxx speed was 140 i had a radar gun with me the bad thing is it uses alot of fuel i used a whole tank in 3 mins

That is impossible, to say the least. First, the tires would not be able to hold up to the pressures of 140mph, second, the gearing of the t-maxx would never allow the speed to exceed 70+mph, unless you have an engine that can pump over 100k rpms, if so, see comment above.
