Title: The Nitrous RR! What power?
Post by: Hurdy on August 02, 2010, 10:06:15 am
Date :- Wednesday 4th August 2010
Place :- RS Tuning Leeds
Time :- AM

Event :- Dyno Dynamics Rollers that accept nitrous power runs  :jumping:

Time to see what the old gassed up girl does on one of these uber accurate rollers Eh!

Poll is up and running for power output - Last time I was there I did 339.8bhp

And what torque do you think I'll get as a side note?

Post by: vRS Carl on August 02, 2010, 10:21:27 am
I thought you already had about 380hp  :confused:

So I put 410-414bhp and I reckon you will be around the 420-450 lbft mark with those recent timings you posted.

Well seeing as my car whoooped yours up the strip  :star: i reckon mine is 270BHP so i would like an option in the voting for 230 - 250 BHP.

....JKM's rejection of nitrous cars on their D-D rollers is to do with health and safety and insurance AFAIK.

Yeah, the car is now just about set-up and the 100shot nozzles are stopping in for the dyno.

Just looked and last time out on this dyno the torque was already 380lbft :scared:

Cars are far more likely to explode on the road than on a good dyno setup that appies the correct load and has good cooling.   :smiley:

I guess 420bhp

Well, been to Wizards of NOS again today for a little more setting up and info + refilled both bottles as they were running on vapours. What I didn't know was that the % calculation left in the bottles was based upon the original size nozzles I had in :ashamed: Now I know how to change the settings too :smiley:

Tomorrow should prove very interesting indeedy. :party:

The old signature picture had 384hp, so adding a 100hp shot...   +/- a bit...

I guess 464bhp and 458lb/ft!!

Post by: Hurdy on August 04, 2010, 12:43:15 am
Me too. :happy2:

I didn't know until today, but the controller has 4 memory functions and each one can be set differently. So I've set the one I'm using tomorrow to be a little gentler on ramp up than on the road as a dyno can be quite harsh on the driveline under load. It will still ramp up to max power though :happy2:

Looks like you'll have to wait a little longer guys and gals.

MatEd30 is popping over to watch the explosion dyno run  :driver:

I may well do a run with and without nitrous if the engine stays in one piece time allows, to get a comparison of performance. :party:

440+bhp on a Dyno Dynamics roller would be nice and that is what I'd be happy with..........and to be able to drive it home in one piece :signLOL:

Well, I'm home safe and sound.
Without nitrous the car did 340bhp and 381lbft. On nitrous it did 338.7bhp and 510lbft. That's right 510 lbft!!!  :scared:
They had to strap it dowm much tighter than normal and said the power would read lower by around 10 bhp as a result. I'm very happy with the result but just gobsmacked at the torque output.

Here you go Jonny. :happy2:

Pic of how they had to strap it down. They said strapping down this way loses 2-3% as it pulls the wheels so hard down into the rollers :sad1:

Lovely flat power from 5k.. That torque curve looks savage though! Not surprised your struggling for traction lol.. Looks good mate! :)

holy bent piston rods batman :surprised: :surprised: :surprised: :surprised: :surprised: :surprised:

you seriously need rods before you start running at the pod. 

Also is it fair to say nobles dyno reads high becasue you've lost the best part of 50Hp without nitrous compared to the previous 380hp. 

i bet traction is nuts,  imagine this on an S3 with the ability to put that power down :scared:

So I'd probably be around 480-500bhp on Nobles dyno :surprised:

It is the revs which will destroy the engine. I cut out the nitrous at 6300rpm to ensure that if they did rev it too much there would be no damage :happy2:

Awesome results John (as I said earlier). Bit suprised by the 339bhp without NOS though.  :confused: (makes my 336 I got the other week there look better though   :party: )..
Must of been RR day today or something. As that's me, you and Theo who all went on DD rollers in different places, on the same day  :smiley:

with 500lbs/ft at 3500rpm Im surprised you can drive it anywhere at all  :signLOL:
surely thats going to kill the rods/pistons more than high rpm?

did you log the dyno run too , for things like timing etc ? just out of interest

well done that man  :happy2:

Ah, but remember it only has that power if I turn the nitrous on. Normal day to day traffic it is turned off and when it is on it only activates when using full throttle (unless I change the settings)

AFR was 11.5 and max timing retardation so far has been under 4. Boost, EGR and rail pressures are all well within normal running parameters :happy2:

talk us through activating it then.  is it pretty much on standby all the time, and when you suddenly decide you need to rinse somebody can you litterally just flick a switch on and off you go, or do you need to stop and activate it??
Title: Re: The Nitrous RR! What power?
Post by: Hurdy on August 05, 2010, 12:34:30 am
Flick a trigger guard and flick the switch and it is permanently armed (no need to stop and turn off/on etc). I can use it straight away, but won't get full power from the bottles until they are warmed up. It takes 5 mins to warm the bottles through, until then you get between 80-100% of the power, depending on the bottle pressure.

I can also turn the heaters on and leave the nitrous in standby.

The nitrous can be programmed to be brought in at any revs in any gear and at any % of full power from 20% upwards. I can bring the power in steadily over 5 stages or give the engine an instant hit in one gear and then back the power down. There are 4 programmable memories in the system and each one can be set for different utilisations. For example, I can have one for track, two for the 1/4 mile and one for a dyno test.

The system constantly measures AFR's, nitrous and fuel flow pressures and if any are outside operating specifications, then the nitrous sytem shuts down.  That is about as simple as I can explain it really. :happy2:
Title: Re: The Nitrous RR! What power?
Post by: Janner_Sy on August 05, 2010, 12:41:18 am
so the trigger arms it, then i guess there is a seperate "go faster button".  do you just leave it in stand by then??  or is that not good for the system
Title: Re: The Nitrous RR! What power?
Post by: Hurdy on August 05, 2010, 12:45:45 am
The nitrous is operated automatically by throttle input. The point at which the throttle activates the nitrous can be programmed, so if you like you can have it at WOT like I have or on any % of throttle. Obviously it tends to work best when WOT :happy2: You can leave it in standby, but you run the risk of forgetting and leaving it heating the bottles when the ignition is off.....and that will flatten the battery. :laugh:

something doesn't calculate right to me.

You have 340WHP , and that is a wheel dyno.

on our car powertrain loss is around 10-12% at max.

so going by that route , you are suppoused to see no more than 380bhp at the flywheel.

what is the compensation built into that dyno ?

also , can you please tell me if the data is raw or SAE ?

I didn't know you could have such a complex, yet flexible system for applying the NOS - sounds like you invested wisely, rather than some chav blast it all in system.

I'm impressed. And want a go.  :happy2:

I played with a mate's MKIV at Inters running around 420bhp on the day (usually is around 500) and whilst my launching was duff using a manual 'box and in a car I'd never driven, when it got going it was fricking hilarious!! With DSG's LC it'd be manic.

....John has had it all done by Wizard(?) who are world renowned and considered the best Nossers in the business. They're also based just down the road from him and so lots of consultation possible and very precisely tailor-made results.

this is a DD dyno right ? so it measures wheel hore power and not flywheel.
basically then there is simple math of power loss added for compensation.

don't get me wrong , 340whp is very good , but no way that it can translate to over 400 flywheel hp on a fwd car.

I think your confusing the before and after NOS results.

He got

340bhp & 380lb/ft without NOS
438bhp & 510lb/ft with NOS

 
I'm sure they are both FWHP figures.
