Google was useless.
My old man has a decent sized RV and is a total dog on it's way up mountain sides etc. (we're talking 35 MPH on the shoulder over the grape-vine).
We've kicked around the idea of centrifugals, twin screws, roots, head work, etc. but it always comes down to how much of a pain in the ass it is to do motor work on an RV.
A wet nitrous system seems like it would be the easiest thing to do. On open road, the thing works fine. It has plenty of power to do what it needs to do. It's only those trips up mountain sides that it needs some help.
I'm thinking a plated system or maybe even single nozzel wet system. The thing has a fuel injected 460 in it. It's been modified with a Banks induction and exhaust system. I think that's about the only engine mods it's had.
Before alternate suggestions start flowing, a super built 460 with all the race trimmings is not an option nor is it an economical solution. Converting to a powerstoke diesal is also not an option.
We're still kicking around the idea of installing a centri-blower but that would be last resort. The thing doesn't need help very often. Only occationally.
Here are some consideration factors:
Nitrous on an FI 460
100-200 ft lbs of additional torque
Easier breathing at higher elevation
Fully remote activated
What are the down sides to introducing nitrous on a low RPM application that's chugging it's huge ass up the side of a hill?
