have any body have driven a car with nos in it before ?
can you tell us how good is it :D

I haven't...
It's kinda rare here in Greece... :cry:

It's called Nitrous, NOS is a company. The reason people use Nitrous is to increase the amount of oxygen there is to mix with fuel. Nitrous Oxide (N2O2) breaks down into I think it's 22% oxygen, which is higher than the percentage of oxygen in air. However, that sudden burst of oxygen/fuel means more heat, which translates to possible damage to the engine. There is also the possibility that the N2O2 will revert back to its liquid state, which can be very dangerous for your engine. There are two types of Nitrous systems, a dry shot and wet shot system. One of them allows the Nitrous to break down into Nitrogen and Oxygen while the other sends it straight to mix with the fuel and air from the intake.

Nitrous has a small cooling effect on the engine b/c of the temp of evaporation, but it will mostly increase the heat b/c it creates a bigger combustion. Most people go for NOS b/c they've seen it in movies, but it's been said to be unreliable. NX and Zed are probably the most reliable Nitrous companies. In any case Nitrous can be dangerous for your engine if you do not know how to use it properly. It's not recommended to use it too close to the redline or you'll cause damage to the engine. Bottles of Nitrous themselves are not cheap; although a Nitrous system would cost much less than a turbo kit.

i know that5 nos is a companie it's because some people don't know nitrous but they know nos :lol:

its illegal almost everywere...
but you have some speed freaks here and there... :wink:

i know it's illegal but it legal on privet circuits :D

Yeah, theres a company called NOS, but it's cautght on to meaning nitrous oxide, The term Nitro being closely in secodn in poularity. I live in Ohio and while it's not illege to HAVE A tank in your car, it Is to use it! how stupid can we get. Arg! Anyway, yeah, S'gonna be unlawful more and more cause IDTIOTs will be causeing more and more accidents with it and such.

First, you need to have a car that can handle it, and it needs to be practicle, 50+ hp shots, ya know? Secodnly you need to hav a good system. You can waste the stuff, I've heard stories of useless bottles in like the 90's T-Birds before. You couldn't tell the diffrence and such when you hit that button.

nos is expensive it's 380$ us for a kit have a small bottle but do you guys know how much it cost for a big bottle and how much it cost for a refull :D

ask a dealer ...
it depends were you live ...
and how much the smuglers take :)

It's called Nitrous, NOS is a company.

NOS stands for Nitrous Oxide System.

So when McLaren asked "have any body have driven a car with nos in it before" he wasnt really wrong...
And NOS has most of the market in Nitrous Oxide.

Yeah,I know another company called ZEX...I haven't drive a car with Nitrous.Here in Greece is illegal too and if any caps bust you with it they will take it.I think...I like turbo more... :wink:

Honestly, I wouldn't want to be in a car when a shot of nitrous is applied on a street. Extremely dangerous. I would want to be in a car when it shoots nitous on the dragstrip. I don't think i worded that right.

Yeah,I know another company called ZEX...I haven't drive a car with Nitrous.Here in Greece is illegal too and if any caps bust you with it they will take it.I think...I like turbo more... :wink:

why do you prefer a turbo? - because it is legal?
If NOS was legal would you prefer it?

Personally, I'd still prefer turbo, because Nitro has to be recharged once in a while and it's too expensive. Besides, it offers nothing important, just a few seconds of more power, whereas the turbo offers more power continuously, and doesn't have to be recharged!

Nitrous may be expensive to install, but it will cost you thousands less than a turbo kit. Although the dangers of using nitrous are very real, with proper tuning and a strong engine you should be able to avoid explosions.

On another note, turbos do not offer continuous power, that is a misconception. They only offer added power at a certain point on the powerband depending on the size of your turbo. If you obtain a large turbo you may experience what is known as 'turbo lag' when your engine revs are lower. In actuality what you are experiencing is exactly how your car would perform without a turbo. When you manage to rev higher that is when larger turbos will be able to kick in. You could always go with a smaller turbo, but they have their share of problems as well; mainly heat. The reason for this being the fact that because the turbo is smaller it creates more pressure, which translates to increased heat.

Nitrous will give you a boost that you will probably never experience purely on a turbocharged car. Although it is only a temporary advantage it is a much quicker solution to lack of power than installing a turbocharger. In any case both systems have their share of inherent flaws and problems that should be dealt with accordingly. Ignoring the dangers either system could result in serious engine damage as well as the possibility of fatalities.

I'd prefere a Turbo instead of Nitro. I'm not 100% sure if Nitro is illegal here but I'd still prefere a Turbo.

My dad got a Nissan 200SX (J) and it had a turbo in it, it had a Turbo in it (Not the liquid type, the other type that runs automatically) and my dad got it to 140mph, and I'm sure it could go to 150mph...

I wouldn't waste my money on Nitro, unless I knew it was safe.

Well, overall, I definitely prefer good NA engines. :)

Me too...
Then Turbo and then Nitrous!
:wink:

Nitrous is more expensive as jim said! and he is right!You have to refuel the bottle every time you use it!Anyway,I want a Punto HGT 1.8 with Turbo and Nitrous.I saw one with both and the hp was over 320ps!!! :lol: :lol: I want that!!!!!!!!!

it had a Turbo in it (Not the liquid type, the other type that runs automatically)


what do mean by not a liquid turbo?

I haven't understood either!! :? :?

Consider this.. Your turbocharged car is only legal if it can pass emissions tests (that is if you live in the US). If you're a hardcore car enthusiast you will most likely install aftermarket products, including aftermarket turbo products. With the correct tuning you can easily boost a car from 300bhp up and beyond 700bhp. However, it becomes less and less likely for you to be able to pass emissions tests. As your car produces more power it will also produce more exhaust, which may not pass. In turn you will not be able to reapply for your license, which could get you into much more trouble than you'd like.

What I'm getting at here is that if you really care to make your car powerful, then chances are you don't care if it's legal or not. Where's the fun in running a completely stock car, when it possesses so much potential with the aide of aftermarket products? Yes nitrous will eventually cost you more than a turbo would to begin with, but that is after you've had to refill at least two dozen times. You can choose to go with a turbocharger, but a decent one will cost you in the $10,000 range. Nitrous has its dangers, but then so do turbochargers. It's all a matter of proper tuning and knowing the limitations of your car.

venom is better than nos what's the difference :D

venow has du metre so if u inject too much nos into du engine it might blow so if tat happens du venom nos will stop du process

any kind of spray will mess up ur engine....i have driven in a car with Nitrous never again and i will never ever ever ever ever race one either cuz i would be to busy feelin sorry for the poor *******...but im not talkin about u guys cuz im only fifteen and i think u guys can kick my ass....but anyways ya....messes up ur engine i'd advise u not to get it

Man, how come no one mentions supercharging (centrifugal of course). Sure it has a parasitic quality because it runs on the belt, but centifugal superchargers don't increase exhaust back pressure like turbos (the parasitic quality ppl tend to forget about turbos), are usually mounted away from exhaust manifolds (heat is bad) unlike turbos, and don't lag like turbos. I've got nothing against turbos, I just prefer superchargers. Back on subject: N2O isn't as dangerous as ppl make it out to be. It can be though. I personally don't like the idea of having to refill the damn thing and/or getting caught w/ it.

there are stages for it too. like first stage is 50 shots on first gear. i think. then you can do 100 shots on 2nd gear stuff like that. it's worth it if you want a quick of boost of speed. my friend have a stage 2 nos with TT 350. not done yet. i am waiting for it to get done and see how much HP does it really put on wheels. and how fast does it go. :D

i really dont think nitrogen is worth buying its 2 expensive and it just wears down ur engine 2 quick as u know it u have no engine cuz of it i would highly recommend stickin with turbo or superchargers.

well most people really put nitris on when they have turbo or supercharger. unless you are really cheap just want a stock car go fast for like 2 secs then you can get them.

Wow, what an old topic
