another nitrous question
I have a billet MSD dist. with MSD 7AL ignition.
|
the bg 400 pump is plenty..what is the fuel pressure dead headed at the motor?
how do you have the Nos plumbed..i understand you have a fuel log..but what is run off the log ? you got a 4 port regulator ?? you got a pic ?.. i think your gonna find your problem in One or both of these area's 1- timing retard 2- plugs either too hot and GAP wayyy too wide |
Carb sounds like an 8896, I would pull the power valves out and jet up to 93 to start along with the other suggestions. There are a few more things it needs, but I would start with that. Try making the motor run NA correctly before you add NOS or you will be chasing your tail.

I agree with Brian you'll find it most likely in the timing retard is not working properly. I test all mine before I plan to use it.

set up 250 shot increased bottle pressure to 1100 p.s.i. car ran 1.16 / 60 foot, 5.38 @ 127 mph. SB2 406 small block ran this good, what am I missing????? |

You will see more power and way better response if you will go to a 28 fuel/ 32 nos jet spread and use 6 lbs of fuel pressure to start with, you may have to go up or down 1/2 lb to get it perfect but it will be a good start. Alco as Farigno mentioned get your bottle pressure up to 1000 psi and purge it down to 950 psi before the run. Those fuel lines are overkill, a 8an to the carb and 6an to the soleniods is plenty. |
another nitrous question
wow, i never expected so many responses, Thanks for your help. Everything made sense to me with the exception about pulling out the power valves, why and should the holes be plugged or left open?
Also the fuel log is a BG, it has a built in reg. with multiple feed lines, I use one with a tee to feed the carb and the other has a tee and has a reg feeding the fuel solenoids. And of course the nitrous is fed from the bottle to the nitrous solenoids. I can adjust the pressure at the log regulators or at the fuel pump. I can turn the pump on and the pressure is @ 10 psi , it doesnt deadhead because it has a return, I did block the return and the guages pegged out. Now, based on your info, sounds like: pull power valves and increase jet size bottle pressure too low timing retard not working plugs too hot plug gap too large maybe change nitrous jets to 28/32??????? help Did I miss anything? |
if i read your post right your fuel log is regulating the out ports of your fuel log and then you have another regulator to your Nos fuel...
if this is the case..this is BIG,BIG No-No...you do not supopose to regulate a line that is already regulated....this spells disaster. You need your Nos fuel side fed straight from the fuel pump regualted one time..or take off the fuel log and run a regualtor that has a free flowing port...run the fuel lines to your motor and regulate off main regualtor..run the Nos fuel supply from FREE FLOW port to its own regualtor and test flow the Nos fuel from that Independent regulator. Holley silver regualtors are a popular choice of regualtors for dedicated Nos fuel feeds bottom line regulate your Nos fuel 1 time i hope that made sense ... :roll: ..lol |

If you dont have a flow tool, buy one or build one, never trust an inline gauge. Did I miss anything? |

Thanks, everybody, looks like we got enough information to make this thing run. Will let you know how it does.
