Forgive me if this item is over priced, but I was surfing ebay and saw these. I don't know what the typical prices are for an adjustable switch. Someone on here might be interested so I thought I would share...

No answer yet, but I've got my fingers crossed.:D I imagine its hard enough to keep up with phone calls in his shop, let alone email questions. If anyone has found a performance book with details to my question, I would appreciate any input. :) Ahhh... their website is back up, I may need to...

Looks like their webpage is down, but I think I found the email address turbos@turborepair.com

Thanks John! That's what I needed was a lead to someone who has had done it. I'll post what his thoughts are on the subject. I've checked numerous books and all I read is what it does, not how to do it.

I have done a lot of research on the web on turbo clipping. I understand the pros and cons, so I'm not trying to make a thread on "why not to" or "why to" clip a turbine blade or which shop to take it to. I just have not been able to find out how a machinist actually cuts the material off the...

Wicked, first off sorry to make you :mad: . Maybe I threw the f&f comment out too quick, its just that I think there is as much chance of a blowing the intake up with nitrous at the intake runners as before the turbo. The mustang story shuts me up, because thats what I asked for and thats...

BTW, the Zex amplifier and the Exair amplifier do not exactly work the same. The Exair uses a precision machined body to create a vacuum on one side of the tube. The Zex probably just dumps nos in the center and pulls a little air with it from the sides (filter element). The Exair would be...

Why would it go boom sprayed before the turbo compared to after? Please don't answer, because it won't. The only explosion danger with nitrous alone is when a nitrous bottle blows, because the bottle pressure becomes too high and the vent tube malfunctions. No spark sets it off. Nitrous...

I personally now like the idea of spooling a turbo quickly through the turbine side rather than the compressor side. All of this is just to get the brain gears turning. Modifying the compressor side does not effect backpressure of the exhaust side, but whatever goes through the compressor has...

Good info on the timing retard. Actually, I think a lot of chip manufacturers use this method when designing performance programs. Correct me if I'm wrong, but by overrichening the mixture, you dump a little gas in the exhaust manifold (bang-bang system?) which results in a whole lot of...

I'm not denying the effects of nos, I am just getting the gears turning to investigate other methods for anti-lag. Many people have accidently loaded their intake with propane and THEN started the motor (easiest time to back fire) with no explosion told of yet. If you know of someone who has...

I've heard someone ask about injecting water at the turbine, before but I didn't see any real pro/con responces. I've heard of many people injecting nos at the turbine with great results, but freezing gas sprayed at a hot turbine, probably not going to last too long! What would be the cons of...

I know that the nos works when used as an anti-lag setup, but I have decided to play with nos last in my ongoing experiments. Its just a personal decision. Using alky/water sounds quite possible if the correct amount is used to keep from killing the blades. I guess the guys spraying before...

Idea #2: You could also make a true return style system, but I don't know if this would fly. Install just a 5 psi hobbs switch, the tee, solenoid and line from the solenoid back to the tank. No switch. The 5 psi will now be the only thing turning your pump on and off. Your normal controller...

I have an idea to prime the trunk mounted pump, but this might be too pricey. Put a tee fitting on top of the the alky nozzle with the line from pump going in one side and a high flow, over sized solenoid on the other. Mount a switch in the car and wire in series with a hobbs switch to close...

Or, highly pressurized alky? But, would this initially drown a motor for a second before the boost builds? It sounds as though you can inject a lot of propane at low boosts without ill consequence since it won't liquify again. It doesn't help, but doesn't hurt either and if it can be used...

Has anyone mounted their propane injection in the turbo compressor housing to pre-spool the turbo when the turbine pressure is low (low rpms)? I asked this question on another thread about propane, but no responces.

BTW, if it wasn't clear what I meant with pre-spooler, I was refering to shooting the turbo compressor blades with propane to accelerate them when the turbine has little pressure to spool the turbo up from low rpms. I've heard of people shooting the turbine blades with all sorts of gases, but...

Sorry to bring this one back, but has anyone run propane into the compressor housing and used it as a pre-spooler? It looks like many people have drowned their motors in propane under low boost with no ill consequences. I've been looking for a slick way to make a pre-spooler but everything I...

Would it be wiser to run direct port, dry nos shots instead of a fogger setup with your current alky system controller ramping up like decribed earlier? This way the two nozzles are as far apart as possible. It sounds like adding nos and alky at the same point has a similar effect as spraying...
