Hi Mike,

While my experience wasn't with my R56, I did go through several rounds of nitrous on my previous car, which was also turbo w/ similar multiport fuel injection. I had absolutely no issue squeezing a dry 50 shot plumbed directly into my intake plenum. my EGT was fine, and the few times I got an external o2 meter it was fairly close to what I wanted. when I went to an 80 shot, I had to had fuel, so I went to a direct port setup where I had a wet nozzle plumbed into each intake runner, even w/ this setup I was doing well, and the motor never had any issues. The motor was an H22A1 with a T3 / T4 hybrid turbo and FMAX fuel management. I know this wasn't what you're looking for but hope it helps some.

Thanks SD929 thats exactly the kind of input I was looking for. I have a few other things I am working on. But I think a 50 shot would be fun if anything.

 

who ever said mini's all about speed, more like about the twisties too

 

Hey, my bad for taking your comment so seriously. The Mini community takes such a hit from outside "tuners," I just thought you were another one of em' on here.

Once again, I am sorry for being harsh.

 

Spray about a 50 shot dry before the intercooler, should cool it down on the way to the intake manifold . I stress that you need to add a wot switch, NX has some programmable ones for drive by wire. The ecu likes modulating and shutting the throttle blade a bit so you need to be sure its open.

There you go.

Enjoy,

spray after the cooler!! that way the cooler dose its work and then the N2O can do some more.

Lets stay on track.

I want to discuss the N2O on the new R56.
I dont care if anyone thinks it's a good idea.
I want to see who is interested in doing it besides myself and who knows a safe way to do it. I love modding my car and taking it to the edge but I'd rather not blow it up.
MINI's can be fast, I am not saying that they are the fastest car out there nor the best platform for that type of competition. I know it can be done, but I want a daily driver, not Fireballed's 500hp Mini...lol

But I have to admit it is fun to see the look on the faces of some American V8 cars owners and some other pretty fast cars out there when you pull from them.

 

I would give Tim or Fuh a call at Fireballed! they know a lot about NOS and should be able to help you out...Also, give Jan a call at RMW he knows a lot about everything Mini...

 

Like I said before, you should ask Jeff @ alta if he can make you a spray tune for the unichip with an output for the nitrous so the unichip controls it with wot and a window switch of sorts. I think thats the only really safe way to do it. Otherwise like a 20-50 shot dry (backing off the timing) would probably work fine and cool off the intake charge. Be really careful not to freeze the intake mani!!!! (it is plastic)

 

Yup I still say the same too, let the unichip handle it or go crazy v-8 style and go dry before the maf...

BTW dont think he will freeze the mani with the heat gun we have before it. The nitrous should perform great in this cars as an intercooler. But plastic manifolds are known to blow with N20 but specially on wet kits since the added fuel.

 

MikeG you ever do this?

I'm going to dry kit a rental car on my show then will have it available. I figure why not throw it on the mini. You or anyone else have any luck with the juice?

-Gene

 

I don't think he ever did....he sold the MINI a while ago

 

Damn. Where have I been?

Anyone else try? If I just throw a simple 50 shot dry kit on the intake do we think I'll have any problems?

 

I preffer to install a CO2 kit to lower the fmic temp before giving a shot of nos to my engine. If you install nos you have to add fuel and we need a better way to tune our ecu to do it in a safe mode. If I install nos in my car it would be between the compressor and the entrance of the fmic just to get the air colder.

 

You would want to spray AFTER the intercooler so the intercooler can do its job. If the nitrous brings the temp close to ambient before the intercooler, it will not cool the charge at all. Keeping the Temp Delta high will let the intercooler do its job than let the nitrous cool the charge that much more.

Think about it...

BTW- Your mini sounds and is badass!! Nice mods

 

If your talking about going Cryo2, dont waste your time.

Its a joke, and most people end up slowing their cars down, the excess CO2 ends up getting sucked into the intake somehow.

If you want to cool down the intercooler, using a bottle of nitrous or a fire extinguisher is still the best way to do it.



I would start by getting rid of the OE intercooler and upgrading to something a little more efficient, you will probably negate the effects of the spray bar by just using a good intercooler.
