View Full Version : I've lost my mind - direct port nitrous
5mall5nail5 04-19-2008, 12:58 AM So excluding the time to mount the nozzles and drill the manifold... I spent 4 hrs bending tubing tonight... .I never want to do this again, I feel bad for anyone who does this for a profession!

Todd, you ready to run? :)
moroza 04-19-2008, 01:06 AM Pretty. Why 2 sets of tubes?
5mall5nail5 04-19-2008, 01:07 AM 1 fuel 1 nitrous
Binjammin 04-19-2008, 01:10 AM Pressure tested yet?
5mall5nail5 04-19-2008, 01:12 AM Pressure what - the nozzles are all epoxied and the connections at each nozzle are flared perfect
David_L 04-19-2008, 01:13 AM I have to say, Lookin good. Hope it performs as well as it looks.
Erick 04-19-2008, 01:43 AM Do you even need nitrous? GOSH! =O
Blutarsky 04-19-2008, 01:44 AM weak.
j/k :bow:
screwbiedoo15 04-19-2008, 03:03 AM i'm dying to see your car completely finished!

Not bad for doing it without a tube bender :D.
e34moneypit 04-19-2008, 03:45 AM psh, that's just get it hard teasers.
get your car running and post some freakin vids!!!! ftw.
(no disrespect meant, i'm just chastising you)
uk525td 04-19-2008, 05:12 AM glued into the manifold? scary :) im sure itll be ok though...id hate to think if the epoxy gave out and let you spray fuel and nitrous all over your engine bay.....

They are threaded in... and then epoxied as a sort of thread locker.
bmwpower 04-19-2008, 09:23 AM Why are they set in at an angle?

Hood clearance

Lol, I'm a moron. I didn't even really look at the pics, my brain just threw some brazed connections in there that aren't in there. Too many shop hours this week I guess.
ETA on car running?
5mall5nail5 04-19-2008, 10:08 AM Gotta run up this weekend and re-do my throttle body (i didnt clear coat the previous powder coat, and welding the TB damaged it further) and powder coat the turbo housing, then I am coming home and putting it back together, start up this week? Maybe!
So how easy would it be to take apart the nitrous system if needed?
And please have 'BlownEuroz' machined into the box.
5mall5nail5 04-19-2008, 11:39 AM Fairly easy to take apart if I had to
We'll probably machine the block later on

Good Deal. I hate to say it, but I'm not a fan of the tubing. Don't get me wrong, it looks bad-ass, but I thought you were dong the minimalist look for the engine bay.
Analog 04-19-2008, 12:12 PM Where did you get all the fittings and fuel rail?
Those pieces are jewelry.
Amazing work.
What are you going to do about the drivetrain?
AndrewH 04-19-2008, 01:40 PM Did you go to Jersey last night with Dan and Donovan?
Sam Son 04-19-2008, 02:00 PM Man that sure is purdy

lol minimalist? what gave you that impression? bright red fuel rail, purple wiggins clamps and a 76mm turbo sitting up pretty.... hardly minimalist
Sam Son 04-19-2008, 02:29 PM lol minimalist? what gave you that impression? bright red fuel rail, purple wiggins clamps and a 76mm turbo sitting up pretty.... hardly minimalist
hahah yeah kinda hard to miss that HUGE turbo...."I dont see any turbo BUt look at all that tubing....this thingt must be fast":lol3
tonyroc14 04-19-2008, 02:31 PM lol, man that looks good. Im glad you kept the red fuel rail. But on the tubbing remark, i think he meant you would use like hose or something. Like braieded steal hose. Also, can you get those tubes anodized? i.e. red, or purple?
looks freaking amazing
tonyroc14 04-19-2008, 02:32 PM hahah yeah kinda hard to miss that HUGE turbo...."I dont see any turbo BUt look at all that tubing....this thingt must be fast":lol3
everytime i see his sig i have to stop for a moment, and realize that that is a turbo and not a jet engine
Turbo Charg Dynam 04-19-2008, 02:46 PM Todd, you ready to run? :)
Absolutley. I only have a simple single nozle wet system. ;)
Did you just drill and tap the intake manifold? I would be nervous about the plastics ability to hold all those fittings under the etreme pressure you intend to subjct it to.
Looks awesome!

I did drill and tap. Ideally I want a sheetmetal intake - we'll see how it works. I'll be boosting without nitrous for awhile to get comfy with the setup and see how it holds up.
Jetted for 225 hp :devillook
BorisBLASTovski 04-19-2008, 03:24 PM Gotta... powder coat the turbo housing...
Does powder coat stand up to that temperature? ...or are you just doing the compressor scroll case? (just curious)
5mall5nail5 04-19-2008, 03:29 PM Does powder coat stand up to that temperature? ...or are you just doing the compressor scroll case? (just curious)
You can only powder coat the compressor housing. The turbine housing is ceramic coated
tonyroc14 04-19-2008, 03:33 PM man, be sure to take a video

Ok, wrong view of minimalist. I had the impression that you were hiding all the wires and with the nitrous tubes it looks all crowded again.
Binjammin 04-19-2008, 03:41 PM What's the word on temp differential on the intake and potential for cracking, due to it being plastic? I would think the nitrous would severely chill things out, and the forced air would be pretty warm.
Just curious if it's a common problem or whatnot, you'd know better than I would.
5mall5nail5 04-19-2008, 03:49 PM Not a problem really - I sprayed through the throttle body previous. My air intake temps are usually < 100F wide open. The direct port is close to the intake valve that the stream is usually not in contact much with the runner at all
Binjammin 04-19-2008, 06:22 PM Groovy.
e34bmw540i 04-19-2008, 09:10 PM Awesome job your car is truly amazing.
5mall5nail5 04-19-2008, 09:13 PM Thanks a ton man
5mall5nail5 04-19-2008, 09:13 PM Here is what it looks like in the car

n2ozebozz 04-19-2008, 11:09 PM you lost your mind for the right reasons meng! keep up the amazing work of art
Dark Schnitzer 04-20-2008, 03:09 PM That thing is going to be a whistling,growling ,snorting ,grumpy bitch ! It would be cool to have some animated headlight 'eyebrows' that could snarl down an expression when it rolls up behind you and blows-off !!:D
Cheers,Vinny
e34bmw540i 04-20-2008, 10:33 PM Jesus that thing is so mean. How much rwhp are you expecting?
