7.3L Nitrous Engine Engine Build
We are developing and building a 7.3L engine optimized for Nitrous Oxide power adder. The scope of work is outlined below. Please stop back as content will be added as the project evolves.
Project Steps
Engine Design and Modeling
- Theoretical Benefit from adding Nitrous Oxide.
- Piston design and compression ratio.
- Camshaft selection and verification.
- Cylinder Head Flow Improvement.
- Cylinder Head burn rate softening.
- Nitrous Oxide Injection System Design
- Predicted power level and ET improvement.
Engine Build and Assembly
- Cylinder Bore and Honing
- Rotating assembly balancing.
- Piston Ring End Gap
- Bearing grade selection
- Crankshaft End Play Check
- Cylinder Head Assembly and Valve Spring Check
- Piston to Valve Clearance Check
- Camshaft centerline.
- VCT Lockout
- Electric Water pump install
- Ignition Timing Mark TDC determination.
