True, but it will make an existing fire grow insanely large in a heartbeat. you can start a roaring campfire in about 2.3 seconds with a match and some nitrous.

I used NGK, plus 2 on my 350. I am not sure on the part number. I have no clue, been out of the NOS game for a while.

Since he is a JDM head or at least thinks he is and EURO has always been my scene and N2O isn't big with EUROS nobody ever talks about it and i just assumed what he was saying was true considering the fact that N2O is pretty much completely foreign to me. The 2 scenarios he supplied are completely ridiculous but me knowing nothing about N2O just left me giving up that battle just to keep thinking it was explosive.

THANKS FOR CLEARING THAT ALL UP THOUGH!

How did you know that guy has a bar of plastique in the car in F&F though? Was there a scene that showed that, that I missed?
There wasn't a scene thats how they do it with special effects somebody said cut, the actors got the hell out of the way, and the Pyro I mean explosives expert loaded the car with plastic exploves and they blew the crap out of it with the camera rolling and Vinnie screaming NAWWZZZ.

Basiclly Nitrous makes fires worse(duh) and NAWZ explodes violently so your buddy who owns a civic(guessing) is friggen doomed but you'll be fine.

Thats hard to do! I keep blowing the match out when i crack the bottle. I think i needs some dryer wood so it'll start burning first and then add the laughing gas.

Whipped cream is pressurized with medical grade Nitrous, EZ cheez used to be don't know if it still is.

Gasoline will start a fire way faster than nitrous so you should be more worried about your fuel tank than your go gas, so niether of them is really a problem.

So I have a new question, with there being the issues for cobb/uprev figuring out how to tune this beast how are we going to make it run richer for nitrous?

i would run a wet kit so it's hard lined with a fuel jet you could change to adjust the ratio for now instead of the dry kits that use ecu tuning as it doesn't exist at this point. You can also have the overall ignition timing pulled back a degree or two with a consult so it makes maximum safe horsepower on spray. You would sacrifice some off spray hp though. If it becomes possible to use like an msd 6al ignition box with our cars you could do that or run a piggyback ecu that is only wired in to the fuel and ignition systems. The greedy emanage box's are down around $300 ever since the Emanage ultimate was released. They would at least allow you to control your A/f and ignition without having the ecu pull the timing back out and ignore your changes like the cobb units.

Bumping an old thread. I wanted to know who has info on putting some nitrous on our vehicles and some success and not so successful stories. Any and all information will be appreciated.

Nitrous is pretty much a love hate sort of thing, so you'll get some pretty diverse opinions.

Ya that is what I am shooting for. It has been a while since this topic was addressed so I wanted to know results good and bad while running on the bottle.

By it's self it is considered non flammable because it is so hard to burn at normal temps/pressure. How ever punctures are always dangerous, a warm NOS tank can get above 1000psi and depending on mounting can be a very dangerous rocket so just be mindful of that when mounting.
