I am pretty sure Adam is joking, and you guys are playing his game (!)

 

If the properties of Nitro are consisten with what I had in my previous post, I dont see how you can get more power out of it from just a regular engine - especially after just pouring some in your gas tank - and only 30% at that...

You also need to be able to add a higher amout of it to the cylinder, becuase it does not have the same power properties per weight...

basically I dont think it would work anyway... lol

sure he is. can't be that st.....

 

I couldn't agree more, and the same goes for my thread on making homemade race gas. You do so at your own risk/peril, and should not hold anyone but yourself responsible. People, please due your due diligence when working with chemicals, and that includes reading the MSDS, and following all safe handling procedures. If you are not experienced in handling chemicals which may be volatile/poisonous/hazardous etc, then it would silly to read a forum and become a backyard chemist.
I have a diploma in chemical technology, and have experience in handling the above, and I do not take it lightly.

 

Chad;
I think what is happaning, is that there is this extra atom of oxygen in the gasoline once Nitromethane is added, so after ignition there is more oxygen in the mixture.
Similar to KmNO4 and aluminium shavings mixed together for fireworks. Potassium gives up the oxygen atoms to react with aluminium when heat is introduced.

Take a look at the molecular formula of Nitro. It has 2 oxygen atoms and one gave 2 electrons to the Nitrogen, but the other one gave only 1 electron, so it is not bound permanently to the N atom.

I perfected my race fuel and it looks like this:

1. 50 l Shell Gas
2. 2L Nitromethane
3. 473 ml 2 stroke oil
4. 20 ml Acetone

I performed cold start today in the morning and I could not believe how easy the car started. I barely touched it.

What comes out of exhaust is very much different. It is fine mist that goes straight up.

After some driving the exhaust is hot and I can feel the heat when walking 3 meters from the car.

The increase in power is tremendous. The 3 girls that I drive in the morning compared my driving on freeway today to "Mario Carts", whatever this is (they are 15 year olds).

Nitro definitely puts stress on the body due to acceleration. My arms hurt in the shoulders.

 

Can another user in Calgary verify this? This is far too interesting.

 

Bwahahahahaha!!!!!
Oh man, I needed that!

You have way smaller engine and so I do not know either any of this will work for you. The advantage of having smaller engine is that you have fewer parts and the engine itself weights less, so it easier for it to get going at high RPM. I remember having 1.8 on my Jetta and that engine was a racer by itself alone.

2.8 feels definitely heavy when I want to put it to high RPM. It requires that extra second to get there.

 

Haven't been laughing so hard for a long time.

 

This guy might know...
