11.4:1 pump gas + nitrous

#1 Post by Rice Killer » Wed Jul 18, 2007 10:57 pm

Is it safe to run 92 octane on a 150 shot?

I'm trying to figure out if I should buy a 1 gallon cell with a seperate pump and reg. and fill it with 110.

Is that overkill? I just don't want to take any chances of hurting the motor.

Yes! Your carb and nitrous need different fuel pressures. If you run a really big fuel pump in the rear, you can split the fuel with 2 regulators and it will work. If you want to be as safe as possible, dedicate a cell, pump and regulator to the nitrous and run race fuel.

Agreed - If you really want to be safe put the 110 in both tanks , might not be 100% necessary at that level but it will be safer.

If I did go with a 1 gallon cell, how long would that last while spraying a 150 shot? 2 runs? 3 runs?

thanks

Quite a while, you're going to use approximately .04 gallons in 10 seconds

Thanks for the help! I'm going to go the 1 gallon cell and a summit pump and reg. combo.
