Hey guys, I'm wondering about an idea I had for a nitrous solenoid failure countermeasure...
First off, out of curiosity, how bad is the rich condition in say a 75-100HP shot of N20, IF the N2O solenoid didn't open?
I assume a rich condition, where backfire may occur and blow up an IC, is less detrimental than if the NO solenoid sticks open, destroying an engine...
Or is this a false pretense???
I am curious if a brake line lock can be used to automatically shutoff the N2O supply in the event that the solenoid sticks open?
I am not sure how it could be triggered, but I wonder if perhaps a fuel pressure safety switch can be used along with some flip flop or something to enegrize the line lock to close it off, in the event the solenoid sticks???
I don't have any ideas for the fuel side, but I think such a device would be a good safety improvement.
I had been thinking about dual solenoids, but that has other implications as well... So I began leaning towards just getting new solenoids, then I thought about this...
Any ideas???
