Fuel Puddling In Intake Manifold?
 

I called a dyno guy around here and he said he doesn't do nitrous tunes because of our cars having fuel puddling issues. ha!

Ive been reading horror stories about it. I'm thinking it wouldn't happen to me since I wouldn't be spraying that often. Only at the track for 2-3 passes. 125 zex shot.

I don't feel like blowing off my intake, and damaging my hood. lol.

Let me toss in my 2 cents on this. If you spray less then a 150shot and do it over 3k rpms and dont hit the limiter constantly you will not have a backfire in your car. I have used maybe 30-40 bottles and I have had one backfire ever and it was because I had set the window switch to 2,800rpms to try that out as I have been told by my nitrous company you can spray at 2,800 so I figured why not try. Only had a small backfire that blew the maf and filter off thats it.

If this so called tuner can't handle tuning a car with nitrous because he is afraid of backfire then go find a different tuner for sure.

Every blown intake I have seen is either from incorrect fuel jetting, spraying at to low of an rpm,spraying 150+ shots, or banging the limiter constantly.

Ask anyone at the Florida meet we had Saturday, I used my kit a good 10 or more times screwing around and racing alone on that day.

I had 1-2 backfires. As long as its WOT its no big deal. That dude isn't much of a tuner if hes talking BS about puddling.

Hell, I went through probably 15 or so bottles in a year, and my pistons cracked before my intake/maf/manifold were damaged, LOL.

Must Hijack thread!

Did you pull the heads off yet to see what is actully wrong with the motor?

I hope your right. I'll take it from you since you know first hand.

He is a pretty reputable tuner, with fairly low rates because his dyno is paid off.

He was talknig about the design of our intakes, and was explaining it a bit. He said he has seen too many blown intakes for him to get a bad reputation after one person says "So and So tuned my car so they suck ass!" lol.

All you have to do is spray above 3,000rpms and it is not gonna backfire with the correct jets in the nitrous kit. While our intakes are of course not designed to flow fuel through them because we have EFI it does not mean you can't run a small shot like a 150 or less hit be ok with proper use of the kit. Though a 150 hit is pushing it for not getting a backfire as you flow a lot of fuel to feed the nitrous.

Don't take my word for it there are thousands of mustangs with nitrous and the stock intakes running around.

haha. who can mess up the jets.

Stop being such a pussy. lol

It happens some people try to swap richer jets in to be "safer" and actully make it worse. Most people can't see the fact that no nitrous company wants you to blow your motor on their kits. So they are jetted pretty rich right off the bat.

Nah. But cylinders 1 2 and 3 weren't firing. They are pretty sure just by the sounds ect its cracked pistons.
