Nitrouse Oxide 3F

[RIQUE]

Hi All, I wonder if anybody has a Nitrouse Oxide set up on their truck. I was reading some archives were Turbo seems to be to
expensive and complicated. NOX seems to be a cool option for power on demand. Enrique

nos is hard on a motor, even in small doses.
the f series motors only have 4 main bearings(that makes them short 3 bearings), they really will not like teh nos.
work? hell yeah it will.
but that raises the question, for how long will it work?

 

[RockDoc]

Look at how long a bottle will last, and get back to us. Hopefully the engine will last longer.

Since you can dose the NOX, it could be regulated so that the boost equals only a couple of psi such as with a turbo.

a turbo introduces a larger dose of "normal air".
the nos introduces a MUCH higher dose of O2, which makes a much more violent reaction in the combustion chamber.
those systems typically are setup to only allow the nos system to engage under full throttle conditions.
a turbo will work at anything off idle.

it's my opinion that nos will lunch an f series motor, rather quickly....at the very least it will routenly snack on head gaskets.

There wouldn't be no way in the world i would even consider putting n2o on a f motor. Like said above. 4 main bearings, the rods will be weak along with the pistons. The rings aren't set up to run n2o. It would be a ticking timebomb.

Read this somewhere on this forum .....

putting racing equipment on a tractor engine is not very useful...

I think you should try it and post up the results. I am going to bookmark this thread and make my popcorn.

small shot probably won't be too much of a problem. only real question is why you want it. if for more power all around you're throwing your money away. put $30 in a piggy bank every day for a while and build a turbo instead. you'll be putting $30 in that bottle pretty often.

I have been thinking about the NOS option for full load, uphill power improvement and for higher altitude. I agree that "normal" gas shots are too much for these F motors. But if one could get good at low gas flow control, sufficient power improvements for high altitude and/or full speed highway hill climbs could be achieved without hammering the crap out of the motor. In other words do not get greedy with this option

Buy a system, Do a write-up on it, take lots of pics, viedo etc. I've never seen a 2F/3F catch on fire and burn to the ground. Should be awesome...

It aint that bad of an idea guys..

The slow metering of NOS is possible although it is typicaly done in conjustion with a more common computer than the 3FE's. I am betting that getting it set up properly would take at least as much time and money as the turbo would..

yeah, that's kinda my point.

We've done NOS on lots of motors and every time a year later yo uwish you would have just invested in a turbo setup.

Turbo LC motors are cool IMHO

I'd be interested to see how this comes out if somebody does it. My self, if I was looking for more power, i'd go with the chevy transplant or the turbo setup, instead if I need more power, I just drive the GMC parked by the cruiser. (I'm not dissing the cruiser, but the Yukon is much more drivable)

OH yes to that

Hmmmm NoS now that would be scary

What can be done with Turbo

Mines in Red 2F-ETI Blue is a friends 4.2TD Ford Maverick (TD=Turbo Diesel)

In Good old imperial thats 244rwhp and 418rwftlb @ 8.7PSI

I just don't see the utility gained with NOS, in fact I would think potential damage would be the most likely outcome. I would go for the engine swap long before I ever considered NOS on a cruiser or other casual 4wheel drive. Racing would be another story...but even there I don't see using a 2F or 3F style engine. Turbo or supercharger would be something to look at...if you wanted to stay with the current engine.
