What did you expect posting it in the Lounge?

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

Actually, you asked"
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?
Seems somewhat open to interpretation, and likely to generate a wide variety of responses.

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

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.
