  2. new NX setup for our engines...

    in Forced Induction and Nitrous

    Posted

    thanks. How many bottles have you gone through? Have you done runs through all gears? I would be interested in some track times if you have ever ran it too.

     

    I have used nitrous many times before so I know how it works. Colder copper plugs are a must like you said the tr6's work ok. I've had some bad luck with the tr6's in the past though.

     

    I just wanted some feedback on the maf setup they have. :)

     

     

    I have a wideband meter and sensor that I used to tune my old car so I dont need to pay for a dyno. I just need to weld an extra O2 bung into my exhaust.

     

    Your air fuel numbers with nitrous should be different than n/a anyways so finding out what it runs stock shouldn't matter actually. N/A it should be hovering around 14.7 afr.

     

     

    but anyways you run 150 shot. Have you had any detonation/misfires or any problems? I doubt I will run 150 but you never know. It is easy to change jetting to go just a little faster haha.

    I've done about 10 bottles. I need to go back and get dynod this week but it was on par for 440rwhp and did hit 585rwtq at 3200rpms, and that's on a conservative tune in the Arizona heat and only 7 cylinders, mind you. With the stock jetting it ran lean, which is why we had to prematurely ended the dyno session. There was some detonation and fouled a spark plug, hence the 7 cylinder dyno. But I’m going to try and get back to the dyno tomorrow and see what she puts down on the same tune and the same hot ass weather.

     

    NX’s website has the install instruction that you can download. It gives you a pretty good idea of the modification that need to be done to the MAFS.

  6. Brake vibration

    Posted

    I have the same problem. I went and bought some Baer 6 pistons on thinking it would solve the problem. Well, it's not the brakes. I accredit the vibration to the piss poor Good Years GM put on this tank. :( Mine are bald now so I'm looking for something better. Too bad they don't make drag radials in a 20". :banghead:

    NX PN: 20110

     

    I have an 06 Vortech Max 4x4 and I was thinking about going with this setup and running 75-100 shot jets. Is that a safe amount for this motor? (I know nitrous is never "safe" but you know what I mean).

     

    Has anyone here used it or have any opinions on it?

     

    Also I was wondering if there is another setup you might suggest.

     

    thanks,

    Brandon

     

    edit: I am looking for a setup that can be somewhat hidden and more importantly easily removed.

     

    I have used nitrous many times before, but only a regular single fogger EFI kit, which doesn't always atomize properly.

     

    I've been running that system for about 3 months on a 150shot. It's not hidden and to remove it you would need an extra MAFS because you have to cut the old one to install that kit. Be sure and install colder plugs (ngk tr6) when you run nitrous. Also get the truck on a dyno to check your air/fuel ratio with out without nitrous, then with. Be prepared with some extra jetting just incase you have to tune your fuel. Do not spray on the motor without it being tuned.

  8. New LS7

    in Engine Tech And Modification

    Posted

    Christ, if you wanna call it a build motor because he changed some bolts, then by all means... The motor blew due to a "nitrous mishap" in the staging lanes, so you got me there.

    My argument is that you can buy the best 408, heads, cam, intake, etc. and have a motor that would kick the shit out of the LS7 for the same price, if not much less.

    The 408 CM motor is as follows.

    LS1 6.0L iron block

    Callies Racemaster 4340 Forged Crankshaft 4.000" Stroke

    Oliver Billet Connecting Rods 6.125"

    Custom JE Forged Pistons

    JE Rings (per application)

    PolyDyn Coated Clevite H series Cam, Rod, Main Bearings

    ARP Main Studs

    Clevite H series racing bearings

    Fully Balanced

    Assembled short block complete with build sheets

     

    That's the same short block that made over 1000rwhp in parish's truck, and is now making more power.

     

    Parish did 640rwhp + a 75shot on a basically stock(IMO) LQ9. I'm sure he broke the 700rwhp mark in doing so. But I'm sure you'll debate that too, because he didn't have stock exhaust, so it was practically a built big block...

    :nopity:

    You would make more power and more torque with a radix on a stock LQ9 for what, 5500.00?  :crazy:

     

    Do you know what kinda power you make with the Whipple?

     

    You have to keep in mind that phrase: there is no replacement for displacement. No one is putting down 700 RWHP in stock trim with just FI in a LQ9. Show the numbers. 700 hp to the crank is more realistically.

     

    The stock ls7 has a really mild cam. With a came swap and headers would pick you up a considerable amount more of power. The heads on it are one of the best flowing around stock, port them and they will flow ridicules numbers. The only problem with the ls7 is its restrictive intake a cast pistons. Once FAST comes out with the intake for the ls7 that engine is going to put out crazy numbers. change the piston and rods and you can spray a 300 shot with no problem.

     

    Yes the engine is 12,000, but for that price it comes with everything, just bolt in it. Call around to any performance company and you wont be able to get a 427 complete for that price.

     

    Yes you can put down good numbers with "$5,500" supercharger. A good way to look at it is, take a lq9, supercharge it and put it in a corvette. it will not run the same times as the ls7.

    On his old setup, Parish did 640rwhp on a stock lq9/stock head with turbo. All he did, and this is first hand information mind you, he upgraded the valvetrain and connecting rod bolts and head bolts.

     

    Combination motorsports sells a 408ci that will take anything you can throw at it for 5500.00. What's the going rate for a set of AFRs, 3300?

     

    I’m not downing the motor, I’m just saying, for that price A LOT more power can be made. If all he’s looking to make is 420rwhp, that’s not the route to take.

     

    Christ, a head and cam ls1 can make 500+rwhp.

  11. FS: DirectHits Ignition

    in For Sale/ Wanted

    Posted

    DirectHits Ignition, used for about 2,500 miles. Like new.

     

    Kit includes:

     

    DirectHits current peaking capacitors - 1 for each cylinder (8 total)

    High energy 7mm wire set (8 total)

    Installation tool (plastic 3/4' 12 point 1/4' drive socket to install the DirectHits properly to 12 inch/lbs of torque)

     

    New it runs 259.00+s/h

    http://www.tbyrnemotorsports.com/81truckcatalog.html

     

    You will need to buy your own plugs. I threw the old ones in the garbage because the one's provided were garbage. Takes about an hour to intall on a cold engine.

     

    150.00 shipped to U.S. takes it.

    Laying around....no, put away...yes!  Why, you jealous? :D

     

    Besides, who wouldn't want to start fresh with something like that as a stock motor? Right out of the crate you have 500 hp and would smoke. Then add a supercharger and and a few bolt-ons and your are easily at 700HP. Why not? :crazy:

    500hp = 420-430rwhp. Your lq9 in stock form has already been proven to hit 700rwhp FI.

  16. Got my truck on the Dyno.

    Update time.

     

    I did a compression just because I’m a paranoid bastard. Everything checked out fine. :thumbs: However, number 7 plug was DONE. So, let this be a lesson to myself and everyone else not to run nitrous or FI without a proper tune. It could've been bad. :nono: Luckily it wasn’t.

     

    Good news is that with new plugs, jetting, and #7 sparkplug back up and running that I should be making some more power... That and I should break the 600rwtq barrier. :driving:

    I must say the PCM4LESS tune was dead on a/f ratio wise. However my nitrous jets need some tuning. Didn't get to finish the final nitrous pull due to it starting to run a little lean and I didn’t have any jets with me. BUT it was on par to my expectations. They killed it at 3200RPMs, where it hit 350rwhp/580rwtq. I don't expect the tq to go any higher but HP should hit 440. At 100* outside, back to back pulls, and a very conservative tune, It's exactly what I expected. I figure with cooler weather and a more aggressive tune, 20-30 more rwhp isn’t out of the question. It was nice to see the WRX guys’ jaws drop at almost 600rwtq at only 3200rpm. :lol:

     

    Ah well, maybe next week.

  20. Cam opinions

    in Engine Tech And Modification

    Posted · Edited by —Bauker™— (see edit history)

    You aren't going to get away with that in a stock 6.0. That's probly not running in an automatic. If it is, you'd have to stall it up to 3500ish to launch it. Plus it's making power at 6000+ and a truck intake won't flow up there.

     

    WTH are you running in your truck that you can get away with that cam?

    The plan is for a Yank 3600 2.5str verter and later down the road a LSX 90 intake. I'm not sure about the direction I'm taking though. N/A Vs. FI, FI would require a much different cam and no need for an intake. I think I read something about the transmission not being able to spin above 6600rpm without destroying itself. I have yet to find a decent turbo+nitrous cam though. :( Anyone have any suggestions?

     

    I see a lot of people using the Ligenfelter GT2-3 for FI applications...
