Thank you Richard for everything you do for power junkies everywhere. I cant believe you covered all that in under 16 mins. You and Matt Happel are the best for engine info and pushing things to their limits like the LS platform lol
A test seeing if ceramic coating exhaust parts like manifold and turbo housing would have an effect on spool time, back pressure and power. Or a turbo blanket and wrapping exhaust with dei heat wrap.
Yes test 2 setups 1 outside only ,and 1 coated inside and out. I did inside and out on my cast pulse tuned after a few hrs with the pineapple . Makes the cast smother than a babys butt. #powerdrivendiesel did a blanket dyno test . No extra power(same peak)but power came on faster(less rpm spools quicker) power. VHT 2000° works if it never gets hit with water when hot( stuff starts flying off like popcorn in a hot skillet). I painted to prevent corrosion then I rapped. A to protect the ceramic paint and B 2 improve spooling characteristics C reduce under hood temps.
I was wondering why I haven't been seeing your uploads in a while and I just realized I had been unsubscribed for some reason. Damn UA-cam. I love the content and thorough research you do Richard.
This is big time on my mind. Richard has gotta get these tested. Meth and/or nitrous’s effect pre-turbo vs post turbo. And maybe even its effect on distribution. Little meth pre-turbo vs a lot of meth pre-turbo boost (atomizing all the meth vs flooding the turbo).
@@bryanleverett2830 I would just love to see if it changes the efficiency range of the turbo. I think in my mind it will just flood the blade area of the compressor wheel and not make as much power.
Great video Richard. If you ever get your hands on some fresh builds, I’d love to see the two schools of thought on engine break-in go head to head. Gentle break-in vs stomp on it right away. Maybe do some compression testing?
JamesK10turbo Hey that’s a great idea.. I have built a fair few engines and I have always had questions over the best run in procedure. Not that I have had any problems but I would like to know how to optimise the run in phase and what to avoid. Looking forward to this one!!
Hey Richard, I think you should start a patreon, I would gladly pay a few bucks a month to help keep these videos coming. A lot of the conclusions are not that surprising to me, but the raw data on how much of a difference each thing ACTUALLY makes is what is so interesting to me. As with everything, it's the combination that makes the difference and this type of series is immensely helpful in determining pros and cons
This man needs more subs / views. There's some quality info here. I thought this video would be you using nitrous to cool an air-to-air intercooler but guess I'll have to wait on that vid. Also very interested to see the distribution vid as well. I predict if you're shooting a dry shot the distribution will be fine. But if it's a wet shot just like your meth test I believe we'll see it mismatched. Thanks for the info!

thanks richard .this is the best channel on the tube that was a great test.i watched a vid you did with frieburger and dulcich on meth injection on a turbo ls.what about testing it again on single plain manifold with pump gas to see what sort of timing advance figure you can get away with on one of you turbo ls builds.i wanted to see if you can get close to your 20 degree timing figure you use with e85 fuel.
I love your knowledge man. It's nice of you to share this knowledge, information and experience. You are testing many ideas that I think very hard, research and wonder about. I would love to be able learn these tests in person and experience it.
I used this same method on a supercharged ecotec. The LSJ uses an air to water intercooler and a 1L supercharger. Mine was using a 2.7inch pulley and cruising intake temps were in the 140-160 degree range. I added nitrous to the mix and the car increased boost pressure by 3lbs and a substantial gain in power. Intake temps also dropped from 140-160 down to 60 degrees with only the nitrous being the change. I added an ice tank to the intercooler and dropped temps even further and past freezing with the nitrous added on top.
@@richardholdener1727 had 2.5 gallons of ice and circulating water through the A2W intercooler which by itself dropped IATs down into the 35 degree range. The nitrous took it below freezing after that. I was spraying the nitrous at the throttle body and was reading the IAT temp at the intake manifold outlet into the head
Great Video, Looking forward to checking out the next one as well, was thinking about using C02 in cold cans to cool things, and or some sort of AC unit to cool the air or inlet charge...
You should do a test on spool and power of a divided hot side vs merging to one before the turbo! Or maybe an off the shelf n/a cam with a turbo and see the benefits of a turbo specific cam. Keep up the great videos,
I have a probe in a runner and after a pass at the track the W2A keeps intake as low as 18C. Nitrous didn't change temp much at the end of the pass. It changed a little at the start. Love your channel Richard. Can you please test E98 vs E85 and with stronger ignitions, like adding ign1 coils instead of the truck coils and bumping up the AFR and the coil duty. Cheers.
When I was running my old sbe 4.8 I had the a2a and a NOS fogger nozzle in the charge pipe and it straight up worked it was 75hp hit ramped in with the Holley, Now I am running a nice little .05 over 04 ls1 with a nice rotating assembly and the same CNC'ed 799's and summit 102mm intake I had on the 4.8 with a a2w setup with the same nitrous kit except with only the fuel solenoid spraying m1 in the charge tube I also run ignite e90 but not for long when my income tax money comes I'm getting some billet atomizer 325s and swapping over to methanol
@@dj4monie it was making some steam for sure, I'm running a Huron speed v3 single T6 kit with a billet s480 1.32 exhaust housing the 4.8 needed the extra help lol but loved it. I ended up bending some rods but I went pretty fast with it I went a best of 5.57 @ 123mph in my 3300 pound 4th gen z28 So it had to be makin 900+ at the wheels But if you dont need help spooling the turbo a2w and methanol is where it's at, iv been a 5.42 so far with the ls1/6 combo i think it's got .20's in it. when I swap over to alchohol I'm gonna add another fuel solenoid and another fogger nozzle so I can spray more fuel in the charge pipe
Cool demo mate...Even tho I knew the answer I'm not sure you placed the nozzle in an appropriate place for comparison as an intercooler chills the air going in and not the air that has just arrived.(before or after Turbo)...Just my thought....Never the less it's great to get a quick spool up.
Would there be a benefit to running an air to water intercooler and some kind of 2 loop heat exchanger, water in one, nitrous flowing through the other loop, then to intake, to super chill that heat transfer medium, I imagine best performance on a progressive system
Where nitrous will give the biggest advantage is on a really large turbo, not so much temperature wise but being able to spool it sooner. If you use methanol, use the nitrous to get the "candles lit" and then pull it back and let the turbos and methanol do the work.
I would love to see a comparison of power output with turbo, turbo with water injection, and turbo water/methanol injection. Would be interesting I think?
@Richard Holdener hey was wondering if you ever looked into the setup Steve Morris uses, think its a big Mack Truck Intercooler. He uses that for everything he sets up in the dyno room. Could simplify your testing and eliminate any variables you have if thats a need you have....
So it improved the exhaust ratio , why not work it out since you did for the other pull , what was the gain with out nitrous but with the intercoooler , then add the 3 psi of boost , all 9xx minus the 125bhp from nitrous and there’s the correct summary comparison
Wonder how Injecting nitrous pre innercooler would work. Then its cooling the intercooler too, and the time it gets to the engine, it should be well mixed.
I’d like to see the differences with nitrous injected at the inlet of the turbo and add liquid propane to say an af ratio of 20:1 or so I think that may work better due to a more homogeneous mixture?
I'm deciphering it as "Here's my advice. If you're gonna insult your wife's cooking on Christmas Morning, make sure she doesn't smack you in the face and made you fall!". 😂🤣
Question Richard, any tips on running a dry shot before the turbo, e.g at the inlet, does it help spool up better? Plan to run a 50 shot to spool up a 83-86mm turbo. I see some people run at turbo inlet after air filter, unsure if any different compared to running it after turbo in intercooler pipe
Could it possibly help stabilize the charge temps with the nitrous if it was sprayed before the turbo? It would drop initially charge temps and the turbo would allow the oxygen to get mixed with the air better. Thus allowing better distribution to all cylinders. Just a thought, thanks for the educational content.
At 7:05 you mentioned water/meth on long runner manifolds. But how does the poor man's intercooler stack up with air-air or air-water at the same 14psi test?
@@richardholdener1727 I'm glad to see you putting this info out for everyone to learn about. Could you tell us how to size water/alcohol nozzles, the number of nozzles and how the placement pre or post turbo affect inlet temp and turbo sealing by injecting pre turbo.
Curious on how running a small No2 shot in the front of a A2A intercooler makes improvements. I've heard even a tiny 50 shot in that manner can make 75-100hp increases
Okay, so first off...your reflection in the white board reminded me of the alien that probed me after I built my first SBC. Dang aliens.... With the nitrous; does the exhaust temp going to the turbo increase greatly as the nitrous gets going? And so the temp climbing back up later in the run? Also, let's see the faceplant video.

Hey Richard, this is probably a old video, im enjoying it non the less. Here in South africa its not uncommon to see turbo cars running quite a bit of nitrous, mostly for the power gains instead of cooling. I would love to see some of those huge stroker engines like the 632 offered by blue print engines, and even smaller ones. i know there is stroker kits for almost any v8 engine on the market, but one that has always pulled me is the ford 390 fe, in stock form and i stand to be corrected, they came in 390ci, 410ci, and 427ci, stroker kits takes them way over 500ci. i would also like to see some extremely high hp engines, 1000hp is childs play these days, many a drag car is over 1000hp now.
Great video Richard, as usual, but I'm curious to where You placed the nozzle and how much or little influence that may have on the temperature results? My logic says that if the nozzle were closer to the compressor outlet that perhaps a greater heat transfer could be seen between the nitrous and the compressed air. Just My theory and I don't know if You've ever published results of nozzle placement before on it's effect ( or lack thereof..) on IATs.
Would water methanol be a better option in the place of the nos or could run both basically using the nos to help spool the turbo a little bit faster to help with some of the turbo lag sorry if this question sounds dumb I new to the turbo game
This insight to turbo engines is invaluable. Thank you for running these tests Richard.

fuel works to cool the charge-just look at blow-through carb combos
Would there be a benefit to running an air to water intercooler and some kind of 2 loop heat exchanger, water in one, nitrous flowing through the other loop, then to intake, to super chill that heat transfer medium, I imagine best performance on a progressive system
Can dry ice. Or nos shot to the front of the intercooler help? Ex... Set a pieces of dry ice on top of the intercooler fins. (Air to air intercooler)

Wouldnt the cooling effect of the nitrous be more noticeable if you injected it infront of the turbo not in the not in the boost tube
Ik you don't want fuel condensing in an intercooler
Looks like someone added boost to Richards head haha! Hope ya handled that situation properly Rich.
Curious on how running a small No2 shot in the front of a A2A intercooler makes improvements. I've heard even a tiny 50 shot in that manner can make 75-100hp increases
I tested the intercooler ring (nitrous injected across the ATA intercooler)-it does not add 75-100 hp
I need an explanation of "backpressure" as you're using it.
What fuel were you running through the nos kit. Do you think results may have been different with e85 or m1 in the nos kit side of thinks.
The extra cooling from the revised fuel (E85 or M1) would help-but neither is as cold as the -129-degree NX
Good Job Richard! How about various fuels and their injected temps on same test engine with turbo.....leaded race fuel and E85?
Thank you, learned a ton.

Indeed, I'd love to see if there was any measurable difference in temps / or power with the nozzle pre compressor.
Would water methanol be a better option in the place of the nos or could run both basically using the nos to help spool the turbo a little bit faster to help with some of the turbo lag sorry if this question sounds dumb I new to the turbo game
