Nos is perfectly safe, it doesnt burn!-Nemesis- wrote:
Does anyone run it? If not I bet it's not allowed, I'm sure others have thought of it.
Maybe it's a safety thing, afterall that's why we can't run it on road, isn't it?
Nos can be used at any engine rpm, constant-flow nitrous systems usually give a massive boost in everyday driving conditions. A huge low/mid-range boost is essential if a decent top-end gain is to be achieved. Depending on the size of the nitrous kit, a low-down torque increase well in excess of 50 percent is quite common.NOS is illegal on the road because of the HP gain it gives you and it can only used when the foot is flat on the loud pedal .
generally its not the idea of guys running it, but the way the system is integrated, for its designed use.STIKA wrote:Can some one explain why it is not safe?-Nemesis- wrote:Does anyone run it? If not I bet it's not allowed, I'm sure others have thought of it.

It's not a LPG system... it's a NOS system.1MadEngineer wrote:I could pretty much guarantee comp organisors would let it run if it was fitted with the appropriate failsafes. BUT backyard joe would crack up because it would be too expensive to do properly.
Done to satisfactory standards you would need, roll-over mercury switching operating a cat4 forcibly guided contact relay, which operates and monitor both the solenoids and a supplementary bottle supply solenoid. This would also have to be run in conjunction with hose burst valves and they bottle supply solenoid would have to be position monitored, WITH a mechanical failsafe added. this all would have to be in a burst proof enclosure with appropriate venting. This would all have to be done to some decent SAE standards.
SO basically add $2k to the price of the setup, to ensure safety, AND then have someone with qualifications to inspect it!.
(OK so it sounds really 'techy' and a lot of crap, but that is the longwinded explaination of your basic LPG setup in your car )
Is it just me or does it sound like everyone has watched the fast and the furious too many times. "NOS" stands for Nitrous Oxide Systems, so it like saying ATM machine. Call it nitrous, n20, gas or giggle anything but NOS.zagan wrote: It's not a LPG system... it's a NOS system.

Nitrous properly set up and using some fail safe methods is a very effective and safe way of boosting an engines hp and obviously the right "shot" chosen to suit your engine.
