I have seached and I dont think this has been covered. I know that the more oxygen your engine is getting, the better the combustion. So what would happen if you spayed straight oxygen into the intake (like nitrous)? Would this increase performance, or what would be the outcome?

Well, I think your idea may be on the right track in theory, but I just don't see it working the way you expect. Plus, getting ahold of Oxygen is not that easy, plus nitrous not only provides more oxygen to the air charge, but it also cools it. But hey, be a pioneer, spray some oxygen into your engine and see what happens...

what about this? http://cgi.ebay.com/GoKarts-Go-Karts...QQcmdZViewItem
It says that each bottle is a 15 shot. Will it a 15 hp to a car? If so it would only be for 5sec but its better than nothin.Last edited by ludedude89si; 01-31-2006, 05:19 AM.Comment

It would work. Oxygen is extremely flammable. I don't really think it's worth getting that creative with it though. You would be better off just getting nitrous.

i think you should try it AFTER YOU SAVE UP ENOUGH MONEY FOR ANOTHER MOTOR! just in case it doesnt go well....but who knows maybe you will come across the next big power adder to rival nitrous!!!!10th anniversary crew #1

More oxygen only works if you add more fuel too. The oxygen by itself doesn't do anything, it is the chemical reaction of the oxygen being burned with the fuel that creates Vitamin HP.
Pure oxygen is potentially dangerous (it likes to react chemically with almost everything) and really isn't worth the effort.
Nitrous Oxide basically breaks down into OXYGEN and NITROGEN, so the basic effect of adding OXYGEN is the same. However it cools the air around it significantly as it vaporizes(the heat energy in the air provides the energy for the change in physical state) from liquid to gas as it is sprayed out of the nozzle, so we are left with a much cooler and denser intake charge.
Once at a very high temp (like in the combustion chamber), the N2O breaks down and seperates molecularly. This leaves us with an OXYGEN atom and and 2 NITROGEN atoms.
The OXYGEN combines with fuel during combustion, creating more power (or a blown engine in the absence of enough fuel) and the NITROGEN actually acts as a combustion inhibitor (NITROGEN is inert, so it does not react chemically and thus does not burn) slowing the flame propogation down. This effectively helps to prevent detonation.
Again you have to add an adequate amount of fuel, or you are just going to blow your engine.Comment

dude, despite what everbody say....don't do it. You could lose a motor, a cb7, and/or your life!Comment

Oxygen boost, as in nitrous OXIDE aka N2O. The nitrogen is there to stabilize the otherwise volitile oxygen. So ineffect a pure injection of oxygen is just a much more dangerous version of N2O.
EDIT: Owequitit pretty much said the same thing.Last edited by KillerCam282; 01-31-2006, 09:18 PM.Comment

you would melt a hole thru......no you would melt the whole piston

I'm fairly sure you couldn't get pure oxygen gas to the cylinders, it would create a flash fire before it got there.Originally posted by sulimedComment

Like I said before...you should give it a try...just don't be anywhere near the car....

I remember there was some guy on some board about 8-9 years ago that tried this and literally melted is engine(acutally the front end of his car) he even had burns on his feet) there were pics and everything I wish I still had them.
