Nitromethane Injection

[Scott4957]

I have a few serious racers in the family that run nitro cars. I was thinking, if we can inject methanol, why not nitro? As usual I never have an original million dollar idea, damn you google! Snow actually makes an additive. Has anyone every ran this stuff?

So some quick observations. It will tax our already taxed fuel system so I don't know if there is enough room for this. The mix would be 10-15% of the meth/water-meth mixture. I don't think the meth would be enough fuel to keep the car from going lean, I think the car would want to pull more fuel. I know nitro is some nasty stuff, but I think at this small of a mixture it would not do anything nasty to the oil or emissions/exhaust system. We could test the oil with blackstone to be sure. Nitro will mix with methanol no problem, but not gasoline. I did come across nitropropane which will mix with gasoline. Thoughts?

I also found this on nitropropane which would just be mixed with the gas. I was curious if this was something similar to ACES but from what I read on here the cars running ACES were actually pulling fuel rather than adding it. Its clear if you put nitropropane in your tank you would need to add fuel. As for his power gains, I think we would see much more on a DI FI engine. I am not sure what the jet sizes equate to in % of fuel added but I doubt we have enough left in the fuel system for this. Interesting nonetheless.

The first question that needs to be answered is what are the performance goals for your car?

If you can get those goals with meth or an E85 blend, why complicate things more?

Putting something in the cylinders that doesn't like gas seems counterintuitive. Especially when you start getting into flame fronts, flame speed, injection timing, multiple injection events per stroke, etc.

Oh i just wanted to talk about it, I have no plans on putting that stuff through my DD.

There is only one car I would have ever considered running this in, an old Audi wagon that was apparently indestructible and I was unsuccessful in my attempts to kill it.


Other than that I don't see much real world use for it except maybe....revenge?

LOL, revenge on that SS that pulled me. Still have plenty of work to do

Lol, that seems a tad harsh, I was thinking more like cheating ex or something along those lines.

No no....add it to my tune and kick his ass!

A little corn and some ACES will most likely give better results.

Definitely safer.

With that Nitro stuff, you might see his headlights in your rearview but you might also see  out your windshield....
