How Nitrous Works

The basics on how Nitrous work!

[jodygarcia]

At least he got the engine blowing right

[BogeyTheBear]

Three things:

1) Nitrous gets to the engine as a liquid, where it is then evaporated into the mixture. Being a liquid means it's delivered to the manifold a thousand times more densely than air, which is always fed in as a gas.

2) Nitrous is 33% oxygen. Air is only 20%

3) And, of course, it cools off the air like you said.

I listed them in order of importance.

[SirStDrProFDavePHD]

no, the no2 is supplying the gas with more oxygen making it burn more complete

[dylandesmond]

Cold part yes.

But nitrous actually has more oxygen than air at the same temperature too...

[LisaAnn]

It works as an extra oxodizer in the motor.
Its that simple. More air, more fuel, more power.

[liamJCE]

How did you fail to mention that the oxygen splits from the nitrogen in the combustion chamber providing more oxygen to burn? That's kinda the whole point...

[Skilith]

That's also the reason why a intercooler upgrade is really good! Cooler air = more power

[theregoesrenzo]

People use this gas as a recreational drug.

[PHAZER]

More O2 means bigger Bangs inside the engine and a even B I G G E R bang as cylinder 4 launches into the Mesosphere

[tonyh]

It's not the use of nitrous that's bad it's the miss use of it. Just like with anything else when you start modifying an engine if you do it improperly you're in for a bad day

[Qtip-vp]

So we use n O2 but why don't we use c o2 it's colder and cheaper

[moonrice]

wait youre not supposed to inhale it as galaxy gas?

[alloutspeedsmashed]

Your completely wrong ., .The power comes from splitting the molecule of nitrogen and oxygen. Heat from the combustion chamber causes the molecule to separate The fuel is added to slow the reaction down. We use fuel to control it because we are already burning fuel.

[SuniL.KrishnA]

How does NO2 impact the engine in long run?

[ezlightning]

Guys he know he is wrong so he wanted to ask but asking wasnt enough so he tries to explain something about nitrous complety wrong or something like that so people could just correct him and he gets the asnwer he wants

In other words people dont give a damn if you ask something you dont know, they just want to be right if you say something wrong about what they know

[MedranoChems]

Its not air on steroids, nitrous oxide is steroids for your air

[ThugginGame-sbdu]

Not all.engines need sparks. Diesel dont have spark plugs

[SuniL.KrishnA]

Colder air is hard to burn quickly. .🙄🙄
How can you just say that it adds more power?
.
Coldee air is definitely denser but it takes way more time to get hot and hot snd burn which is not possible at high RPM.

"and hopefully not and exploded engine"

gonna cancel the nos tank order 🗿💧

Edit:btw, what do nitrous become when it gets burn?

[Peterbloxfruit]

Good morning... Can make a video for my son. Can you greet him a happy birthday.. His name is paul rambert silva.. He will turns 7 this month. He really loves about cars.. Thanks... Hope you will notice me
