<U>***UPDATE 12/8/06***</U>

I tested the nitrous tonight. Holy ******* shitty monkeyballs. I almost blew the bitch up.

My only guess is the the fuel soldenoid somehow did not kick on. I sprayed in second, it revved to about 5k, and wouldn't go any higher. When I backed off, it died. I let the clutch out and it started again (Like you were push starting it.) but ran like ***. I pulled over, yanked the plugs, and look what I saw:

Cylinder 1:


(Yes, that is the ground strap TOUCHING the electrode!!!)

Cylinder 2:

Cylinder 3:

Cylinder 4:


As you can see, I must have been detonating pretty damn hard because it blew the ground straps clear off! The only reason that cyl. 1 didn't blow off I am guessing is because it's the furthest away from the TB.

I limped it home and threw my old NGK's in and she runs perfectly. Guess it wasn't detonating long enough to **** the pistons up.

The only thing I can think of is that the fuel soldenoid didn't activate, and I sprayed a 75 shot of nitrous with no fuel to compensate. The old plugs, when I pulled them out, were really brown cause I am running rich due to the timing retard and PG7 ECU. So I know it wasn't running lean before. I was also running 104 octane fuel!

I am going to go over the fuel soldenoid wiring tomorrow and check to see if anything is amiss. After the one-over, I'll test it by just spraying it into the air to see if fuel comes out. I'm making sure it is spraying plenty of fuel before trying again...

WOW! Do you have to find a way to get the ground straps out of the engine now? or do you just leave them in there and they will break up and come out with the next oil change?

The only reason the ground straps aren't on there is because they vaporized. The pressure and heat from detonating is so immense that they disintegrated.

Just because the motor runs, does not mean it did not do damage. Check it over again.

To a dry test of the nitrous system (no fuel pressure, no nitrous pressure) and see if everything is working.

You have a fuel safetly switch?

Oh I was thinking that the tip chipped off.

By the way nice project.

No, I don't. I am getting plenty of fuel to the soldenoid, I know that. I just don't think it turned on.

He says, "Oh."

I was smart and didn't stay on it, so nothing went kaboom.

I am so pissed off that this is an incredibly safe setup (that I spent alot of money and time on) and it's still ******* up.

I suppose if it was just a soldenoid issue, then everything is ok...

Nah, I just decided I wanna build one with rods/pistons, lightly built head so that when the motor is finished, I can just swap it in and not have any down time.

Direct port in the future

Yeah, just a few bucks worth of NGK's.

I am gonna go over all the wiring tomorrow and before I spray again, make sure fuel is shooting out of the nozzle.

I'm gonna re-check everything, and then take off the intake. Then, with the bottle off, spray it into the air, just to see if fuel sprays out. If so, then we're in business. If not, I get pissed off.
