does nitrous do damage

[CB7 Sleeper]

If you don't understand nitrous, you shouldn't run it at all.

That's why I asked my fair share of questions before deciding to go on the bottle.

Why not just plumb a really cheap turbo setup? I'd rather do that then play around with nitrous.. the risk is not worth it in my books, such as being b usted with an open bottle, or burning down the car from a nitrous bottle fueling a big fire.

you can ruin your engine just as easily playing around with boost. if you dont know what your doing you dont want to play around with either.

A nitrous setup is much cheaper than a cheapo snail that can disintegrate and get sucked into the motor causing major havoc.

Don't street race with either and you don't have to worry about getting caught. The fines for getting caught with an open bottle will probably get thrown out in the face of the much more serious street racing offense.

Nitrous isn't flammable until it seperates under the right conditions. If it's adding to an existing fire you already have under the hood, you're screwed anyway.

its cheap and simple. as long as you dont over do it and have the right fuel mods you should be str8 .

That's the thing about nitrous... if you use it too much, it will be a danger to the manifold, and eventually cause your floorboard to drop out. That, and it really can't take a bullet.

he's lucky that 100 shot of nos didnt blow the welds on the intake

might cause him to spin out too....


but hey. you might be able to tell that he has a Motec system exhaust by looking at the engine bay but it might be too soon for Jr. to be runnin a SR20 in a Honda Civic...

you are partially right. Nitrous Oxide isnt flamable period, it is an oxidizer. if you add it to a fire with plenty of fuel, it will flare up due to the amount of oxygen being added to it. it does not, however, "separate" into a flamable gas under any conditions.

Bad wording on my part. I was trying to keep it simple. Nitrous does however, seperate into nitrogen and oxygen at about 565 degrees fahrenheit, making the highly combustible oxygen (which isn't exactly flammable, but will make a fire much worse, imagine flipping a lit match into an oxygen tent - BOOM)available for more power, and the nitrogen available to stabilize the "burn" from the oxygen.
