Nitro fuel. And oil

Isphius · 08-28-2006, 07:59 AM

I was thinking...My rc cars run at 28k rpms and 12:1 compression. Couldnt we use this nitro fuel with aturbo where detonation is a problem? sure its expensive at 25$ a gallon, But if your just gona goto the drags then pour that and 2 gallons of race gas in, and you should be good. I know this stuff has synthetic oil in it which can be bad in car gas, But it cant be too bad... And with the ammount of compression a turbo makes under boost it would have no problem detonating that nitro. And the other part....What is good oil? I know turbos are hard on the oil, Because there oil cooled. I dont trust oil companies thou, So i just want to know if anyone has bad/good experience with oil and turbo. Im sure they dont make a difference, But im about to do my fluid/oil/brake/filter change before i put my turbo on the road. Also does the redline trans and water wetter really work as good as people say? as in any + hand-on experience anyones had?
