Say you run out of nitrous while your spraying....will that mess your engine up?

You'd run really rich, but if you kept it up you might hydrolock if there's a LOT in there and the spark cant burn it all... but wouldnt you notice the nitrous pressure dropping first?

no. if you ran out of n2o while spraying you would feel the car nose over or studder in which case you would let off. it wont hurt the motor, but if you keep in it, the motor will simply cut off. all you're doing if you keep adding fuel w/o n2o is flooding the motor. not too big of a deal.


now, if you add n2o w/o fuel, then you have a problem

its called detonation (A.K.A.- BOOM, POP, PING, BAANNNG!!)

It'll foul your plugs up, and it isn't great for the cats either.

No cats=no worries. Cats like to be run around 14.7 af, not like 6 to 1 or something similar that would be seen spraying without the nitrous. The fat of an af mixture will ruin your cats if it happens enough.

this is just my thought, but if u feel it run out of juice, couldnt u just disarm it (aka flip the switch off), and finish the run all motor....with no damage done?
