Saw a Focus on Nitrous blow up at the track last week (video)
I was at the local 1/4 mile strip around here last week. All of a sudden a Focus pulls up to the line and when he takes off, he just floors it spinning the tires just bouncing off the rev limiter like crazy all of first gear. Then BOOM!!!! A flame shot out of the bottom and it died. He came running out of it and that's when the fireworks started. I wish the beginning would have got caught on tape! He guess he didn;t know that bouncing off a rev limiter with nitrous is very bad. it causes the cylinders to load up with nitrous and then your 75hp shot becomes like a 200hp shot. Anyway, it sounded like a nitrous backfire so I'm sure his manifold is all messed up but that's the least of his worries

/me wants to see
this is also why every nitrous system i put together ONLY gets done if it has a RPM window switch, i tend to be a lil cautious and shut it down 200 RPM before redline. some people do 100 but i'd rather be safe then sorry. Jeremy |

I was not hitting the rev limiter all the way through first, it was called wheel spin. i floored it a little early and hadn't got traction so the revs flew up and i hit the limiter, only time i've ever hit it with the nitrous, and the intake manifold blew up. fuel went everywhere and you can see what happened from there... as to the comment about the 15 seconds...i was running mid 14's. and the comment about it used to be an SVT, nope, but it will be... at least from the windshield up. i'm buying a whole front clip, engine and tranny from an SVT. |
