Re: Getting Rid of Computer in Current TJ (without engine swap)
 
Nitrous supplies the oxygen to burn more gasoline. The set up is a
plate that fits under the carburetor, with heated nozzles and solenoids
that pour nitrous from one side and another set that shoots more
gasoline in from the other side. They come in sizes like this size bolts
a hundred and twenty five horse power to your engine:

You'd probably have hundreds of ten second launches. Usually something
breaks before your run out of pressure.

Re: Getting Rid of Computer in Current TJ (without engine swap)
 
I had an uncle that had an El Camino and a Dodge chassis small RV ( a
Mickey Mouse deal built out of the cheap siding they sell via
boiler-room phone operations to hicks and old people) that were dual
fuel in that time period so I remember them, in America, and quite
well. Throttle sticking at WOT was unheard of. (And a phone call to a
local propane place that maintains several propane burners in the area
drew a blank from them too.)

What DID happen to Uncle Dummy (he was actually smart, but not about
machinery) not once but twice was an underhood fire started by a
backfire. There was a three position knob, gas/off/propane and to
switch you put it in the middle under load then when it dropped power
you pushed in or pulled out all the way. He'd ram the handle in and it
would backfire and light the gasoline filled carburetor off. The El
Camino melted the entire engine top and they had to repaint the hood,
rewire everything, and change a lot of stuff. The Dodge-with a
\-Six-wasn't badly damaged: you could get another $10 carb from the
junkyard in those days.

Dual fuel worked poorly in those days, but a properly engineered
electronic system today might work fine. Straight propane done right
is the best way to run a spark ignition engine there is.

I think 0||||||0 is just an old channelmaster (remember those, from
the Chicken Bandit days?) that if it "ain't how he was raised it ain't
no good." They didn't have this stuff when he was a kid, so it can't
be worth a ---- and is probably communist to boot.

The old El Camino and a Dodge burned because the valves were not
converted to steel inserts to use unleaded fuel. Their engines were
total junk by the time they fired back through the carburetor.
