wow what a bunch of crap. i had no idea nitrous oxide kits cost $700-4000. also who the hell has a 100 lbs bottle like they keep mentioning. i think the most the entire kit weighs with line, solenoids, filled bottle and switches is 25 lbs with a standard bottle. stand clear from this junk, aslo there is no real way of determining the correct amount to put in your car, even though those tiny bottles would run out in about 1/10 of a second.

 

Nitrous oxide is not flammable. Any chemical engineers want to step in here and explain why?

 

nitrous oxide is an OXIDIZER. which means it is not flammable. nitrous oxide only really adds oxygen to the fire so each combustion is more intense. the air we breathe is not pure oxygen its air, which is made up of many gasses. now nitrous oxide adds 36% pure oxygen which mades the fire burn hotter and more effecient.

 

Hmmmm lets see what is that a 2 oz cartridge?

Stoich ratio for N20 and gasoline is 9.75 :1, so that is enough N20 to burn about .21 ounces of fuel or 0.0128 lbs of fuel, and it takes .5 lbs of fuel per hour to make one horsepower, so that should give you about 0.03 horsepower hours or 1.54 horse power minutes or 92.16 horsepower seconds so for a 15 second drag strip run it would give you about 6 horse power for 15 seconds, then you need to jump out and replace the cartridge.



I think I'll pass on this opportunity !

Damn it's a private auction -- bidders' identities protected. Now I can't email the biders and ask them what are they thinking.

 

You could auction off an
