Adding No2 to Maggie setup, who can help?
#11
i've read that both meth and no2 can erode the coating as well. This is why I was looking at adding them to the spacer that trick makes. That way it would bypass the impellers and maybe even multiply the shot even more. Like how some say that plate kits hit harder than a nozzle. Don't know just brain storming.

Small shots don't multiply like larger one will.
N2o is trying to expand blowers are trying to compress. So injecting post blower/ic can raise your boost level.
How much depends on the shot. 50/75 will not raise much if any.
150/200 would be a kick in the pants. This talk about eating coating? How crappy is the coating if nitrous pulls it off. I have heard nitrous eats the coatings and fuel washes the bearings etc etc.
Now methanol I could believe. That is very corrosive.

Trick which would u prefer running it pre or post blower?
Aslo, I've only seen guys with blowers run a small shot is there a reason for that or can u run a bigger shot like 100 to 150?

I sprayed a 50 dry shot in my 04 SSS with a 2.8 pulley ...I tapped the rear of the j tube with a fogger nozzle...I was running a Walbro 255 with siemens deka 60lb injectors and tuned for it...I used a window switch from 3000-6000..and had zero motor issues(tranny was a different story..lol). I went from a 7.89 @ 88mph to a 7.76 @ 92 mph fwiw....
Know I gotta go convert that to 1/4.
I've thought about this as well. I want to run a small shot but didn't know if and how much the tune would have to do with it. I see where alot of N/A guys run a pretty good size shot on just the factory tune.
If the tune was setup for nitrous would that mean u would have to run nitrous everytime u went into boost or just spray it when u wanted to?
Is it true that a 50 shot on F/I is like a 75 shot N/A. I thought I read a thread a while back where F/I multiplies the shot. Could have been something else I was thinking of though.
What I'm trying to say is F/I can run a smaller shot with greater H/P increase than N/A would get from a bigger shot?

This is what I've been reading. If NO2 is not your primary power adder then a smaller shot is probably in order. If you're running boost, it acts as a multiplier for the NO2 shot. On the downside, I've read that nitrous can erode the coating of the blower impellers. That being said, it sounds like a pretty awesome combo for the occasional user.
I'd sure like to hear from some guys who are running both... especially whether they think it's worth doing or not.

Even so, when I get my Maggie up & running, if I foresee the need for spray to reach my ET goals, I've no plans to go over 75 shot. Not cause guys aren't over that, but cause I feel I'll be where where I need to be.
The pro to me is u run faster. Cons to doing this? More stress on parts & of course, N2O fillups & kit cost itself. I'd like to see what 50 or 75 dry single jet u go w/.
You shouldn't be spraying under 3k either.
Trever runs both, as does 1Bear. Not sure who else, but he does.

On a FI (fuel inj.) ride, I've heard fuel wash isn't an issue like on a carb. I couldn't verify, cause I never had both apart to compare.

I think u need to clarify, from a power standpoint or cause you're concerned about potential coating damage? If the latter, Rick is sayin to go post blower. Cause otherwise, it'd be injected before rotors.
Most everyone on PT I was told doesn't run > 75 shot on a Maggie. See my previous quote to swift700 on who does run both a Maggie & spray.

Thanx fast, I was just wondering about that on the tune cause I was taking into account that if u had to spray it all the time I would'nt want to. I was just confused about the tune and keeping it safe in and out of boost and on and off spray. But what u said about having cons. tune and spraying when u want to sounds good to me.
I jumped into this thread cause I want to know how these guy's are running meth and nitrous because I to would also like to run these on my setup in the future. Now Trick said, a big shot like 100 -200 would be a kick in the pants but I have'nt seen where anyone has tried this or if it's doable. If so I'm sure it would be a wild ride.
I was just planning on a 50-75 shot. Would the maggie fuel pump need to be upgraded or just the fuel injecters?
All of this stuff is new to me so the more knowledge I gain the better.
Also how's your build going!

Those that run both, a good tune is essential. Heck it's important to maximize even an N/A motor.
My bad, I left out in my previous reply a key point. Goin above the 75, if not over 100shot & u may have disastrous consequences.
It may be doable, but I'm not gonna try it.
Maybe someone has, & of course I can't read or remember every post, but u can try it. The 2 guys that have Maggie's are both TVS powered, run 11's & I have a lotta respect for them. There are prolly others. EvilGMC is doin some interesting things as well.
I can speculate what I'd do as to inj. or fuel pump if u do this, but maybe someone else will chime in. I'd certainly look at inj. duty cycle. Don't wanna overtax em.
I'm learning all the time. I've never gotten into a Gen 3 til just recently. I'nm doin more than I used to & gettin more involved w/. my ride & my knowledge.
My build has not gone along as smooth as I wanted as it pertains to my timeline, but I did get cam, pushrods, & springs done. Timing chain & crank pinned for insurance.
We have similiar builds I see. Well, other than your Radix is on.
Dyno sheet will be up tomorrow in a thread. Track results if I'm not too tired will be up Wed night., if not, on Thur.

I'm curious as to how trever1t runs both meth and nitrous. Did'nt he get into the 11's when he had his radix?
My hats off to you on doing your cam and work yourself. I plan on doing a cam swap in the near future but don't think I want to tackle it myself. But then on the other hand finding a good mechanic you can trust these days is getting hard to find. At least in my area anyway.

My statements about fuel washing the bearings was talking about blower bearings. ; )
that is what several customers told me a blower company told them when they sprayed our wet shot in top.
I always said how crappy is that design if that's the case. Lol
working on getting me s blower soon.
