What this site is all about!
How to build and understand Nitrous Systems!
 Or how to build your own kit should you wish!

This is MUCH more effective than conventional engine tuning work.

Make your own car much faster! Cheaply, without all the disadvantages and cost of normal engine tuning work like cams, cylinder head porting, pistons, carbs and manifolds, chips etc. Far greater BHP increases for the money!

 

 

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)
