how does nos work?

i know it either just sprays nos (dry), or mixes with fuel (wet), and then goes into your engine. but how is it realeased? does it continue to spray as you shift gears? does it spray for a certain number of seconds, or do you have to hold the button down when you want it?

Most of the guys I knew had it wired to WOT. You'd "turn it on" then it would spray while the pedal was down.

NOS is composed of 1 nitrogen atom and 2 oxygen atoms which makes for a very oxygen rich mixture. the more oxygen you have in the air/fuel mix... the larger explosion youre gonna have in the combustion chamber which equates to more power.

Other way around: 2 nitrogen, 1 oxygen

haha thats what i meant.. N2O.

yea...i didn't ask about the chemical makeup...i'm aware of what n20 is made of....and i know the more it sprays the bigger the shot = more hp. 50 shot = 50 hp boost. but how does it spray? continuously for like 5 seconds? does it continue to spray between shifts? or do you hold a button to spray it when you want it goin?

You press the button and then you act like you get thrown back in your seat and you make a face like...

:eek: "WHHOOAAAAAAA"

At least thats what I've seen in the movies.

Oh yeah, and look out the window cuz it will make everything look blurry.

:lol:

Might get better respones here;)

LOL, and don't forget that upshifting makes you speed up even faster...:D

Nitrous Oxide can be activated by a Wide open throttle switch (on when the pedal is floored) or a momentary switch (a button).....it will spray through shifts if u dont have a window switch set up to shut off the flow just b4 a shift and turn it back on just after (based on RPM). on a momentary switch set up, u usually have to hold the button for as long as u want it to spray....(its not like the movies where u tap a button and nitrous magically sprays for an extended period of time)...

also a wet nitrous setup mixes the nitrous with fuel prior to injecting it into the motor....the dry setup still REQUIRES extra fuel but the way it works (at least on a modern Mass Air Meter controlled engine like an LS1) is the nitrous is injected BEFORE the mass air, tricking it into thinking theres a huge amount of extra air pouring in, which prompts the motor to dump in a lot more fuel.

There are different ways you can use it. You can hook it up so that you release the N20 via taps, then when you press a button it injects (which I believe is the most common way). And please don't call it NOS/NAWS. That is in fact a brand name, not the name for nitrous.

BTW like was said....don't call it nos.....everyone who doesn't know what nitrous is or does calls it "nos" cuz they watch movies.....U know what it is now lol ;) so call it nitrous....this way u won't sound ignorant or like a ricer.

not a flame by the way, it just sounds uneducated to people when its referred to as "nos".

My thoughs exactly

i'm aware its nitrous...just felt like saying nos. at least i didn't say nawwwwwwws. and i know it doesn't make everything go all blurry and cool looking. i just asked a simple ****ing question, and of course, i get 10 unrelated answers, and 5 correcting me something that doesn't matter.

anyways...when did that "n20" specific forum get there ;)

What did you expect posting it in the Lounge?

I think 3 years ago. I moved this thread to it so you would get more serious answers.

"Too soon junior" LOL!!! Anyone with any sense, sprays as early as possible (traction considered). And all the way through the quarter. Window switches are nice for safety as well as prolonging the life of the tranny.
If Jesse would have sprayed out of the hole, he'd be alive today! HAHAHAHA!!!!!!! What a joke!

If you get porky, people may not want to try to help.

A good basic setup: WOT switch AND a window switch. You want to avoid the nitrous activating at too low an rpm, this causes a huge spike in cylinder pressure and possible broken parts. You also want it to turn off before the rev limiter. Spraying nitrous with the rev limiter activated is not a good idea. If you run in anything less than hot summer conditions, a bottle heater is also a necessity to get the most out of your system. HP potential depends on the amount of nitrous injected. This is not only a function of the jet (orifice) size but of the bottle pressure. More pressure = more nitrous = more hp (if enough fuel is also provided).

Exactly. Cool your jets, sport. You'll get much better results if you don't go off like "I know what this is" or "i didn't ask about this".

Bottom line: Don't be a pr!ck if you want your future questions answered.

if people were not being huge anuses in teh first place i wouldn't have gotten "porky." i asked a question as to how nitrous is activated, and i got all this crap that had nothing to do with what i was asking. i'm sorry for calling it nos, i just do that now cuz i'm used to saying it. i'm aware there is other stuff out there besides nos (nx express, edelbrock, zex, etc.).

anyways, i didn't notice there was a nitrous specific board cuz i was never really interested in it before.

so to those who helped, thank you very much.

and to those of you who didn't (90%), all i have to say is :rolleyes:

Actually, you asked"

Seems somewhat open to interpretation, and likely to generate a wide variety of responses.

:)

yea but if you read the post you'd be able to interpret that i was asking how you activate it, not the ****ing chemical formula and other useless crap. if you couldn't infer that you're a ****ing retard :D

alright ladies, leave your vagina's at home and quit your bitching...

To answer the question of the post, you can activate it however you want. You can put a button, use the gas pedal, use a switch, or just sit there and direct port that baby and work the bottle valve when you want it spraying :D

Welllll.... so far you've had two moderators and the owner of the board telling you why you got the answers you got.....

Did you ever read "How To Win Firends and Influence People"?

Hey Ian: when I warned you about getting "porky" I was trying to help you get the most out of the board. There is a nice "community" here, where people try to help each other out. You'd be amazed how much help you can get if you ask nicely!

Peace.
