Trevor, you did warn me about the challenges of matching the fuel flow to the nitrous in a dry system and how critical it is!
Glad to hear I wasn't neglectful in my duty in that regard. Right now I'm pretty sure the megasquirt series of ECUs would not be able to add fuel based on a 0-5 volt signal, BUT I'd have to think it would not be that difficult for one of the developers to incorporate that ability. I'll ask...
I would have thought it could as I would GUESS that they are capable of working on turbo vehicles and turbo vehicles use a 0 to 5 Volt signal to match boost to fuel delivery.I'm told the developers are refining the progressive nitrous routines to be able to progress fuel to match the nitrous progression using either time based or VSS based progression. It is currently lacking in those two areas.
Whatever ANYONE does with an ECU or nitrous controller, they will NEVER even get close to the Max Extreme, as without wishing to be boastful, I'M THE ONLY PERSON IN THE WORLD with such a comprehensive combination of UNIQUE knowledge and first hand experience of use of nitrous systems on both bikes and cars. ALL that anyone else can do is THEORISE on what is the best way to get the job done or at best can add only a couple of years experience to that. So, the big question is -- what performance difference do you see in an application like this between a wet system and a dry system? I'd like to see how far into adding 250 nitrous horsepower we can get with the next version of this engine.
Until recently there were advantages and disadvantages to both wet and dry but since we launched our Pro Series WET systems, that is no longer the case, as we can offer ALL the advantages of a dry system in our wet system.
The main advantages are splitting the injection points of the fuel and nitrous
Delivering the fuel at high pressure/speed
Achieving optimum atomisation without needing the nitrous to blast the fuel to bits
Relatively unlimited fuel delivery
All these features and more are an integral part of our Pro Series system designs.
As we can now offer a system that has ALL the benefits of dry WITHOUT ANY of the disadvantages, the Pro Series system HAS TO BE THE WAY TO GO. How much advantage have you seen in the by gear progression used by the Max Extreme compared to a "simpler" time based progression?
HUGE, MASSIVE, INCREDIBLE just about sums up the difference. Each gear can only handle so much nitrous due to traction limitations, vehicle stability limitations and engine load limitations, so having the ability to tailor the amount of power being added PER GEAR as well as PER RPM (either via our virtual RPM link [Time based] or actual RPM link), is the way to achieve the ULTIMATE performance from ANY vehicle. I wonder if it becomes more critical for a prepped track like a drag strip or an unprepared surface like an airport runway?
That's the advantage of a CORRECTLY designed progressive controller, WHATEVER surface you run on you can achieve OPTIMUM results. Anything other than a Max Extreme will NOT produce the same level of performance. Thanks
