nitrous
I have recently let my mind wander to the area of nitrous on a idi.
I know next to nothing about nitrous, but when I asked around, the people I asked were familiar with nitrous and newer diesels, not idis. They basically told me you couldnt run nitrous on a idi without blowing it up. whatevs. Why? the most informative guy told me it was because nitrous effectively increases timing because of how fast it burns, and where on newer diesels you can tune for that you cant on a idi.
So I am curious what are you guys thoughts on nitrous and how to make it work on an idi.
I am pondering using it, and if i do use it, it would probably be a 25-50 shot.
But What can we do about timing? When you want to run nitrous retard the timing and run the cold advance soleniod, and kick it off when you go wot/hit nitrous?
I am already working on building a water meth kit, and if i add nitrous it will be after i am studded. Also I am turbod and intercooled already.

I would finish the water meth, then graduate to propane injection instead of nitrous due to price.
Nitrous is just oxygen with nitrogen so the added oxygen won't heat up and burn stuff up. I don't see why you couldn't try it it's just expensive. It's not a fuel in itself, just a propellant
