      Obvious it needs bigger injectors. And one of them huge distributor/Magneto from Killabee, or one like it. Nitro needs more/bigger spark. Then try 75% Nitro/25% Methanol, and 90/10% And if the engine hasnt died then, add nitrous!

    If I understand nitro, it's self oxidizing, so adding as much as possible without hydrolocking the pistons allows you to reach ABSURD compression. I'd love to see what the spark plugs look like after this lol.

    • @SpencerHHO
      @SpencerHHO 10 місяців тому +44

      Nitromethane is CH3NO2 so yeah it carries a lot of its own oxygen. It has the effect of raising volumetric efficiency because there is a lot less air (which is 80% nitrogen) in the cylinder allowing for a lot more reactants in the same space. That and it's also an extremely high octane fuel etc.

    • @andersjjensen
      @andersjjensen 7 місяців тому +9

      From what I can read nitromethane has a lower octane rating than ethanol, but because you comparatively hose the engine with it the evaporative cooling makes up for a lot of that.

    • @chauvinemmons
      @chauvinemmons 6 місяців тому +6

      Yes nitro has oxygen as part of the molecule with alcohol it may burn nitro it's not meant to provide oxygen mostly goes out the exhaust pipe nitro decomposers much like dynamite it's actually closer kin to TNT.
      Where do you get the real power issue fill the cylinder with more fuel than can exist at top dead center under massive heat and pressure it decomposes turning all that liquid into a gas that is your power if you have about 65 degrees of Mag lead 4 degrees 8 degrees 12 degrees of timing is not going to help.
      Run a hundred percent with about a 9 gallon pump you're liable to melt your Pistons if you had a real mechanical pump putting 20 25 gal a minute in and 40-60 degrees timing and 85 percent nitro in the the tank Now try that.

      I'd like to see an experiment w/ mid-temp lacquer thinner.
      40 some years, a one man crew-owner-driver of a local nitro dragster showed me his barrel of fuel. It was mid-temp LT.
      He said it was the only way he could afford to play w/ his toy.
      Back then, a 55 gal drum of mid-temp was about $100; nitro was right at $1000.
      The temp is drying rate when used cprrectly, for thinning lacquer.
      We used it for years, 1 qt to 15 gal gas, to de-carbon '70's smog motors to eliminate carbon build-up dieseling.
      Have used it for 40 years as a bad gas start up additive, or a tired motor revitalizer.
      Never damaged anything w/ it.

    Yeah, nitro is super dangerous, you're supposed to turn the engine over with plugs out to clear the cylinders, start it on regular gas, and then switch over to nitro. Engine's can and will explode in a spectacular fashion from the stuff, just ask any old timer at a dragstrip.

      it's called tuning, anyone who knows how to do it can do the same thing. problem is, there's lots of kids out there who have no concept of timing, AFR and duty cycle. i could hear the spark knock on that thing from the first time they added nitro and it never really went away. that engine is a couple pullsl away from the junker. id bet opening up the exhaust would help alleviate it some, as well as cranking fuel pressure.

I ran it one time on 50/50 Nitromethane and Methanol. Was the most fun I ever had for 10 min. Kart hooked pretty good in turns on alcohol. On Nitro it blew the tires away in every corner and pulled like crazy......
    Until the motor stopped. When I took it apart it bent the crank something like .150" on the rod journals. Like in Top Fuel, nitro is cool as hell but hard on parts.

    For anyone who doesn't already know: nitro contains both the fuel component and the oxygen component. So the more you add to the mixture, the more power it makes because it's largely bringing the oxygen with it.

      In the 1960s, the Ramchargers drag racing team made up of Chrysler engineers started adding hydrazine to their fuel. The tech inspectors wondered why the tops of their pistons were turning green, and they made up some nonsense about dye and combustion analysis or some such. Eventually their supplier got curious and asked what sort of military aerospace project Chrysler were working on with the ultra-toxic hypergolic rocket fuel. When they explained that they were using it as an automotive racing fuel additive, the guy flipped his lid and said they were all lucky to be alive.
