kubus1 Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 Hi, I ve heard some negative comments on going with the direct port and shooting 150bhp into my engine. Some people were saying that the standard manifold would not cope with such a huge inrease. But... I ve done it and everything seems fine. The kick is really crazy. Estimated powet at about 600bhp. Need to dyno it yet, but feels amazing. Cuba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syed Shah Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 Enjoy it while it lasts! People have passed 600rwhp on stockers in the US, so your power estimate is pretty accurate. What does the boost go to while spraying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian C Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 Hmm, flowing 600bhp of zorst gas out the stock manifold through the stock turbo housings would make me watch the boost gauge and the EGTs verrrry closely - what are these two values reaching under sustained acceleration...? -Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kubus1 Posted August 9, 2004 Author Share Posted August 9, 2004 Boost at 1.3 Bar max, and EGT at about 760C. Is that bad.>? the think about nitrous is that you only use it for a few seconds so even if it gets a bit high, its just for those few seconds. Oh, and I have had this on for more than 2 months now, and.... all is well. Cuba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 Do you have any pics of the install? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kubus1 Posted August 9, 2004 Author Share Posted August 9, 2004 I ll take some pics soon. I will need to use my mobile phone camera and I dont have the transfer cable, but I ll buy one!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpie Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 760C is fine Cuba but, I guess this depends on where your EGT probe is mounted. If it's pre turbo then you are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 N2O actually cools the intake charge a lot so would this lower the EGT's , all i can say is that i cant even notice a 75 shot on my car unless its off the line Dude:flame Dev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKEYmark Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 what about the yellow cortina he runs a 300shot. 2 great big bottles in his car. i been told you have to know the pressure of the nos and fuel pressure too. lots of things you can get for nos install bottle warmers, purge kits is the direct port the best setup with a progressive controller?

eyefi Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 kubus, is the 12.6sec 1/4 with the current setup? that EGT temp is quite cold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Cordiner Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 Most nitrous kits seem to be based around spraying the gas at around 900-1000 psi. There can be a big difference in power dependent on bottle pressure. For instance I know one fella who sprayed a 50 shot on his MR2 in the US with a bottle pressureof 1300psi ... lol ... he gained about 100hp and 160lbs of torque As an indicator, the highest pressure I recorded at TOTB this year in my MR2 was about 800psi (thats without using a bottle heater). Worth investing in the rest of the toys though to ensure you get optimum performance from what your spraying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
