Not sure if any of you care, but i'm basically posting for those that are interested in running nitrous in their cars might wanna take a peek at.

I went to the track recently and ran the vic on a 50 shot for the first time (at the track).
Best time that evening was a 14.7 @ 93 MPH. That's a 50 shot ladies and gentlemen!! AND...i'm quite sure that time can be improved upon!!! It was pretty hot out that night and i still think i coulda launched at a slightly higher RPM.

Anywho.....I've been messin' around here and there. This first video is of me vs. another 7thgen, vs. a 6thgen. This was with all of us running N/A. I did NOT spray in this vid (I am the blue vic in the middle):

ME vs. 6thgen vs. 7thgen (I'm in the middle)

And here's a great one.....4 way race. I'm at your FAR LEFT . It's ME, a Red GSR, a BLACK Spec V, and a gunmetal EK with a B16. I did Spray here.....:

4way: Me vs. B16 vs. GSR vs. SPEC V

And for old times sake...those of you that haven't seen....my race with the new Mini Cooper S:
ME vs. Mini Cooper S

Enjoy!! If you have any n2o questions...PLEASE feel free to ask. I don't know it all...but i'll try to be as much help as i can.

Oh yeah...I"m runnin the VCN-1000 kit on the car. I have pics of the setup...i think i've posted them before...but if anyone wants to see...they are at this page:

I went out there once. And it was very similar to what we have in sagabay. BUT we weren't there for long and well...a cop rolled by and everyone scattered. I haven't been back since and i heard that it got busted up. SO....we do most of our racin in groups...on the high way....late late at night....with a pack.....as lookouts (and camera cars).

Not tryin' to hate. But grow up and race w/o the bottle. That's artificial if you ask me. All it proves is that you can press a button. Nice driving though.

wow, i guess people really do race 4 wide like in fast and furious.

Yeah the fact that you started your post with "not tryin to hate" means you're hating.

Get this...you are pretty ignorant if you think n2o consists of "just pressing a button". If you think it's that easy...then turbo and s/c would be as easy as just "steppin on the gas".

Telling me to grow up and race without a bottle...is total b/s. I DO race n/a ....FYI. But that's not the point. N2O is just as valid a form of forced induction as any other form. Just because the rumor has it that it's easy to use...doesnt mean sh*t. Mis-shift on n2o..you're f*cked. Lean out....not enough fuel (kinda like turbo) your f*cked, try launching with n2o... a little harder than with turbo why? Cuz you need to learn more control.....not just sit there and wait for the turbo to spool up. Over-rev on n2o...you're screwed too. No power shifting either boys....learn to quick shift or get rid of it and don't drive at all. Got it? If it's artificial.....then how come so many PROFESSIONAL people use it eh? Do you're research and learn a little more about n2o setups and you'll see it takes just as much work and skill to use it.

Thanks for the compliment on the driving....but you messed it up with your whole little "grow up" comment. I'm prolly #1 more mature than you, and #2 been in the scene longer (notice i said probably). I've had a turbo-charged car before, i've worked on an n/a car before...so i wanted to try n2o and u know what.....most misconceptions and ignorant comments like the ones you made are just that....misconceived and ignorant.

depends what tires i'm runnin'.

on dr's usually like 4k or 4500. But no dumping the clutch or punching it.

I haven't launched it on the volks. most races i've caught while on those are rolling from 1st or second.

YES_part2

in the first vid, it looks like you dumped from too high rpm. that launch was bout as bad as my first time @ track. spun through 1st adds 1.5 - 2 sec to 1/4

SpdRcrChk

iTrader: (6)

You're right. Streets were damp as well.
But uh...yeah i still took them. Not my favorite launch that's for sure. I've had WAYY better.

the Launch i got on that 14.7 at moroso was nearly perfect though.

If you think nitrous is the way to race... then I feel bad for you...especially if the cars you're racing are NOT using any temporary/artificial means of assist. Why not just mount some rockets on your roof and light them?

JayFReaZy

cool vids

CarbonFly

iTrader: (12)

Please explain how using nitrous is not a real way to race. Lot's of Professional drag cars use nitrous. Are they not really racing?

So if you have a turbo and the person you are racing doesn't does that mean you should remove your turbo and race fair?

There is no cheating in racing. The whole point is to make your car as fast as possible and by any means necessary.

Diemos

Ya man anything goes.. nitrous is valid

SpdRcrChk

iTrader: (6)

Means of assist? Hey..talk car talk ok? It's called forced induction. So YOU are saying.....that it would be unfair for an turbo integra to race a n/a stang? Why not? If their HP and/or torque is about the same then it's a fair race. I don't pick on n/a geo metro's and then juice it on them. If i can race n/a i race n/a. If i need the extra HP to at least make it a good race or match HP...then i'll spray.

Your rockets comment is absurd. I feel bad for you....that you feel bad for me!! N2O....is just as valid a form of forced induction as turbo or s/c. You say tomato i say tom-ah-to...big friggen whoop. Every comment uve made thus far is pretty biased and has nothing to back it up.

You mustah watched the fast and the furious way too many times. Sure its easy to push a button and hold a gear. But that's not the only nitrous set up that exist. and YES it does take skill to drive with it.

Stop cloggin my thread with your unverifiable comments. The thread is not here to debate against you....it's here to show people what their cars can do....and to (despite mr. all mighty mango's dissaproval) let people know if they need help or w/e....i'm here.

umm u guys are dumb the only way our slow *** cars are gonna go any where is by force induction via turbo,nitrous supercharger or anything. their is no rules in racing u run what u run if u dont wanna race then shut up and get out of this thread.props 2 spdrcrchk it takes control not to go trigger happy and blow ur motor unlike turbo or supercharger u dont worry about goin nuts and holding a button to long and blow ur motor so everyone that doesnt know what there saying should read and learn and also SHUT UP....

Actually, I've never actually watched ANY of the fast and furious movies. And why not strap rockets on your roof? Afterall -- anything goes right? And I didnt say that its not fair to race for example an integra and n/a stang GT, the point i'm trying to make is (i'm assuming) you we're racing pretty much stock (or light bolt ons) modded 1.6 civics, etc. They weren't exactly "Stang GTs" were they? Thats where I see the dose of unfairness.

As soon as I seen you ripping on 1.6 civics, thats what provoked me to say the things I did, If the video was you racing a high displacement powerhouse, maybe a GM 3800 II or even anything bigger, than yeah, I'd agree with the videos. Should I just go race my friend's 2k2 LX sedan auto with my 2k2 EX coupe auto, but I have nitrous, and he doesnt -- and then brag about my kills?

Again, this is assuming that silver 6th gen was running n/a. Was he?

I think you need to shut up and go to school. That whole "paragraph" continued on without a single punctuation mark.

SpdRcrChk

iTrader: (6)

I think that's where we come to a misunderstanding.

The video of me racing the 6thgen and the other 7thgen was totally fair. Because i DIDN'T USE THE NITROUS in that video. And yes it was slightly modded....pretty much the same boltons i have I/H/E. I guess i can see where it would be unfair in your eyes...but i guess u didn't notice i said i raced them without spray.

Actually i counted 2 periods, and one "..."


Maybe he was in a hurry?

YES_part2

let me just explain something really quick. nitrous "kits" are just a simple toggle switch after they are installed correctly. just make sure you dont bash the rev limiter (can be solved with a window switch) and youre fine so long as you dont exceed the recommendations put forth by the kit.

now onto track cars

nitrous is a volatile method of fi, and you will have to monitor everything. possibly more monitoring required than a turbocharger. there is a reason why tracks require you to have a blowdown tube if youre running nitrous. ive heard of people who have had their arms blown off from exploding bottles.
