FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

General Questions

How exactly does nitrous oxide work?

Nitrous oxide increases the oxygen available during combustion. When heated in the engine, it breaks down into oxygen and nitrogen, allowing more fuel to burn, which boosts horsepower.

Does using nitrous oxide affect engine reliability?

When installed and tuned correctly, nitrous is safe. Excessive use, poor tuning, or cheap components can cause damage. Always follow manufacturer guidelines.

Can I install a nitrous system on a completely stock engine?

Yes, as long as the horsepower increase stays within safe limits for your engine. Most stock engines can handle a mild shot without internal modifications.

How much performance gain can I expect with nitrous?

Gains depend on your kit and setup — from 50 extra HP on small shots to 300+ HP on advanced systems.

Why choose nitrous over other performance upgrades?

It’s one of the most cost-effective ways to add horsepower, requires minimal permanent modifications, and can be turned on/off as needed.

Usage & Safety

When is the ideal time to activate nitrous?

Only at wide-open throttle (WOT) and above 3,000 RPM for most setups, ensuring the engine is under load and fully fueled.

Is nitrous oxide flammable?

No — nitrous itself isn’t flammable. It’s an oxidizer, meaning it supports combustion but doesn’t burn on its own.

Can pump gas be used for street/strip nitrous use?

Yes, for small to moderate shots. High HP setups often require race fuel to prevent detonation.

Will nitrous oxide damage my catalytic converter?

Not directly. If tuned correctly, your exhaust system and emissions components should remain unaffected.

What does the blow-off safety valve on the bottle do?

It prevents dangerous pressure build-up by releasing gas if internal pressure exceeds safety limits.

Are there benefits to chilling the nitrous bottle?

Colder nitrous is denser, providing more oxygen and better performance. However, always regulate pressure for consistency.

Installation & Setup

Will I need to re-jet my carburetor when adding nitrous?

Yes — to supply the correct amount of fuel with the added oxygen from nitrous.

Should I upgrade my fuel system before using nitrous?

If running larger shots, yes. Upgraded pumps and fuel lines ensure consistent fuel delivery.

Which is better — a plate system or direct port nitrous injection?

Plate systems are easier to install and great for street use. Direct port systems give more precise tuning for high-performance builds.

For a plate nitrous system, is a single-plane or dual-plane manifold better?

Single-plane manifolds often provide better distribution for nitrous, but dual-plane manifolds can work well for mild applications.

What’s the best position to mount a nitrous bottle?

At a 15-degree angle with the valve end up, so liquid nitrous feeds consistently.

Will I need to change my ignition system for nitrous use?

Mild setups may not require changes. Larger shots may need a stronger ignition and timing adjustments.

Advanced / Tuning Considerations

Can high-compression engines safely run nitrous?

Yes, with careful tuning and possibly race fuel to avoid detonation.

Does nitrous oxide increase cylinder pressures and temperatures?

Yes — which is why proper tuning, fuel delivery, and engine condition are crucial.

Is there an ideal compression ratio for nitrous use?

Around 9.5:1 to 10.5:1 is safe for most builds. Higher ratios require more careful tuning.

Which spark plugs work best with nitrous?

Colder plugs with a non-projected tip are recommended for preventing pre-ignition.

Is plenum volume important in high-horsepower nitrous builds?

Yes — larger plenums can improve distribution in big horsepower setups.

Is it safe to use an aftermarket ECU chip with nitrous?

Yes, if the chip doesn’t advance timing too much. Too much advance can cause detonation.

Will I need a modified torque converter with nitrous?

Not for small shots, but high-powered setups may benefit from a higher stall converter.

What kind of pressures do nitrous kit components typically handle?

Most are designed for around 900–1,000 psi, with safety margins built in.

Does a highly modified engine see the same percentage gain from nitrous as a stock engine?

No — modified engines often make greater absolute gains, but the percentage gain may be lower compared to stock.

What tips can help me get even more horsepower with nitrous?

Optimize fuel delivery, ensure good ignition timing, keep bottles at correct pressure, and maintain your system regularly.
