Is an .036 dry nitrous nozzle, a "40 shot of nitrous"? Mine is a Zex dry nitrous kit if that makes a difference...Thanks.
If jet size doesn't equal a "shot" amount, then what are people actually describing when they say " I have 40 (etc.) shot of nitrous ???
Jet size is flow amount at a given pressure, so hp can change based on many conditions. .36 might do 40 hp on your bike but on mine it might do 50 based on the tune, altitude weather ect...... Only way to have a 40 shot, or 50 shot is to check it on a dyno and tune it out. Some ppl like to run a little rich so get the correct hp the motor would have to ingest more nos.
Example, 12.5 A/F with a .32 might add say 40 hp, 11.5 might it might take a .36 to add the same hp but you are wasting NoS and fuel. If you leaned out the .36 to 12.5 then you would add 50hp.
NoS and turbos have allot in common with fueling. I have heard allot of guys in the turbo world swear up and down that the richer mixture is better for the motor, but the fact is the richer mixture is retarding the timing a little bit and that is what is better for the motor. Its better to use the correct A/F ratio and remove some timing with a box, you will make more hp then running rich to achieve the same timing reduction.
