welcome to the site..

 

Many thanks for the welcome and I should also have thanked you all for your interest in my unique concept, because it's very gratifying to see my work appreciated.

I hope you find the content of the links I posted of further interest.

BTW, is there any Drag meets going on in the Tampa area between the 28th Nov and the 6th Dec, as I may be able to work one in between other business while I'm there?

Thanks again

Trev

 

Sorry for more questions, but what class do you run in, what spec is your engine combo and what times do you run??

Looks like it's a twin turbo arrangement and probably runs in the 10.5" class?

If that's the case you may be interested to learn that I have a customer with a similar combo running in 10.5" Outlaw (in some other part of the States), who is using my system to achieve instant boost on the line and to avoid launch issues.

The following thread may be of interest;

So whose is the car in your posts?

Very kind of you to post me the link and if I can work that in to my visit then I'll certainly take a look at how you guys do it down your way.

There are a number of serious advantages to mounting the bottle the UNIQUE way we do in our Pro systems (and this is just one example of the many ways I could prove how advanced our concepts are) but my existing customers would kill me if I gave away all my high tech knowledge here, so I'll give you just one thought to ponder on.
Which way do you think you could empty a coke bottle quicker, through a straw or just by turning the bottle up side down into your mouth?

If you like learning then you'll find TONS of free unique knowledge on my forum (especially in the advanced section) or you could buy my book on nitrous from Amazon.com and we're working on a 2nd edition which will cover the race and Pro stuff we're involved in, which should be available next year.

Thanks again for the welcome and the link to the race meet.[/quote]

Thanks for the welcome, you'd probably find the Lambourghini that's the reason for my visit to Tampa just as insane.

The main reason for my visit is to dyno test one of my latest systems on a customers Lambourghini who lives in Tampa. The target power figure is 850 hp at the engine but I believe we can exceed that.

Here's a link to a thread that shows the spec of the system, not quite one pair of Pulsoids per cylinder but it is close;

We also have a couple of US customers with similar systems on their BMWs that you can see here;

I hope you like them.

[QUOTE=Noswizard;4792507]i like the pic so i put it into my sig..i'm a stock suspension kind of person.


as for the soda thing i get that but aint the fastest way to have it up side down at a angle.but seeing how the n2o lines have pressure and air cant really get back into the bottle and help stop the vortex then up side down is the best way..

is there anything you have to do to the bottle..i figure you just chop the tube in the bottle off though right and let it pick up reg then right..i would mount it with the ass tilted back some so you can take into account the g's off the luanch

 

Yes in some respects it would be better to angle the bottle backwards (to benefit from G force acting on the liquid) and that's how I first used this concept on bikes some 20+ years ago, but I was just glad to have persuade my US customer to take this route at all and there are other benefits from having them mounted this way, so it works out pretty even either way.

Yes I can see why you admire that car, do you know the answers to the questions I asked about it?

Regards
