If you have a little intelligence,
can read, and understand a little simple physics - you too can
build your own reliable, safe, powerful Nitrous Oxide
Injection Kit very cheaply and professionally. All the info you will need is on
these pages... But you need to read every page
other than insurance and links.
More importantly though, you will
UNDERSTAND how
everything works in detail and it will cost you far less...
Typically
£100 UK Pounds or $150 US Dollars for a full neat and tidy DIY
Nitrous system, with
up to 140 BHP extra power!
That's seriously cheap and CONTROLLABLE Horsepower! Especially if
you fit more than a single stage, or do more than one vehicle.
Maybe you will just prefer to save
yourself the work and time, and simply buy a Nitrous Kit off the shelf,
but either way, the unbiased
information contained on this site will be very useful to you
whatever make your kit is! All of the current US based
systems are now very old designs, with obvious shortcomings
but seem to have a mass following of people "swearing" by
them regardless! They just don't or won't see
the shortcomings...
I have been building Nitrous Kits
and testing systems for 15 years or so now, ever since I got
hooked! Mainly as a hobby. And believe me, the US
based systems have a good few design problems... Especially
on smaller or pulsed controller (PWM) type systems. Your DIY
system can avoid these problems and I can show you why the
"others" are badly designed at the same time.
HOW NITROUS
WORKS (Simple version for the Nitrous dummies!)
Nitrous oxide systems make additional horsepower by
allowing an engine to burn more fuel than it could normally do.
Burning more fuel creates higher cylinder pressures that will
push down on the pistons with greater force. This gives
much more power!
Nitrous
operates whenever you want it to, by pushing a button, or at
full throttle - you can choose when and for how long. It will
NOT hurt your engine if set up carefully and
reasonable amounts are used!
Basically
Nitrous Oxide is stored in a metal tank or "bottle" in the boot (trunk) of
your car. It is a compound of Nitrogen and Oxygen. When it
gets heated up inside the engine during combustion, it breaks down
from the Compound N2O
called Nitrous Oxide into two separate gasses, Oxygen and
Nitrogen. This is a good thing! Because the extra oxygen now present
allows more fuel to be burned and the Nitrogen although
"inert" absorbs the extra heat and expands...
The extra fuel that is now also required is injected at the same time as
the N2O via an additional solenoid valve and injector
into the intake system. This is carefully
metered with a jet to ensure that exactly the correct amount is added. Its a little
more complex than this, but that is a basically all there is
to it.
So YOUR car can have
Nitrous Oxide Injection (*NOS) added easily and without
any damage or other drama!
Actually almost any car, bike, plane, jet-ski, snowmobile,
micro-light Aircraft, can too!
*Technically
the term NOS is incorrect as this refers to an specific
company (called Nitrous Oxide Systems, in the US)
