"Noz" is for ricers and it doesnt show any automotive skills, and halfwit can get a 500 dollar "Noz" kit and start rice burning people. Id rather lose a race than have to win with cheater gas.

In my opinion NO2 is like steroids for cars, yeah it works great and gets really fast results, but it beats up the engine, eats a hole in your pocket, and once you get off it or stop using it you go rightback to where you were before. Only now youve added a good amount of wear and tear that makes you slower than what you were before you used the bottle. and will prolly shorten the life of the engine.

thats why there are diifferent shots and engine parts to withstand the stress of nos If you got it more power to you put I feel calling it cheater gas is something My little brother would say I have a need for speed and ill Ill stop at nothing to get it.....well maybe my wallet will stop me

The use of Nitrous Oxide is just the same as using any forced induction. Is using a turbo or supercharger cheating? No? Why, because it costs more? Nitrous Oxide is used by tons of rail cars and pro-mods and the drag strip I race at, I certainly don't think of them as cheating any more than a vehicle with a blower sticking out of the hood. I have a supercharged 2001 BMW 540i which has a very tight engine compartment and no room for an intercooler. I plan on putting nitrous a small shot of nitrous on it just to benefit from the intercooling properties nitrous oxide has.

LMAO :rofl: :lol: :loser: NITROS OXIDE IS IN NO WAY LIKE TURBO OR SUPERCHARGING...Nitros works because of a chemicle reaction that occurs when NO2 is heated it splits in to N and O2....which means more oxygen...a turbo or supercharger gets more oxygen by slamming air into the engine....Turbo/Supercharging is a constant..there when you need it sort of thing...nitros is like trying to keep gas in a 10gallon gas tank on a 700Hp 572....it just doesnt happen....so if you install a turbo and someone lines you up at the stop light you have it...but if you have nitros and you know you arent going to win without it and you arm the nitros system and your bottle opens and its nealy empty you have to back down....nitros is only good for going to the drag strip...but then agian drag racing isnt real racing...try turning a corner...anybody who circut raes or any other type of racing around corners can go straigt and up shift....id like to see your average drag racer turn a corner and come out in the right gear....and as for your BMW....it is more than possible to squeez enough engine compartment room out of any car to fint a smaller intercooler...so dont feed us that crap....

i dont see how how can say that nitrous is for ricers, although it is sometimes true it doesnt always apply. I have a 50 shot in my car and an nx ntercooler kit, but that is used to spool my t3/t4 up to 10 psi. Does that make me a ricer too?

kenwood guy
10-18-2004, 02:57 PM
no I dont think so you use it for a good reason the whole Idea of nitro is to make you go fast for what ever reason no matter what car although I do belive some cars need it more then others to go fast

How is nitrous "cheater gas" if they use it in Pro leagues and such?

If it was so bad it would be outlawed from tracks and not sold anywhere.

If bottles are for babies then im a big baby but when I go home with your 500$ that I took from you after we raced you'll be the only one crying. And I would have just paid for the kit after acouple seconds of use.

Nitrous is the best bang for your buck period. I used to dislike nitrous but then I read up on it and informed myself about it. I suggest all you nitrous haters do the same thing because most of you probably dont know what the hell your talking about.

Fryman, how is drag racing not real racing? Whats the most popular style of racing in the U.S.? certainly not road racing.

Just like basketball is the most popular sport in the cities you know why? because it takes the least amount of money and the least amount of space to play. Drag racing is the same way. you can go drag race a stock car in the least amount of space needed and its cheaper than road racing.

I have nothing against road racing but calling drag racing not real racing thats just ignorant because its the most popular style of racing in the U.S.

to each his own.....you guys could go on about this forever and no one will ever be right. this is just like the crap the v8 guys say..."blah blah but you need a turbo to do it blah blah"

kenwood guy

I see the points you guys have and they are well said Nitrous is in fact the best way to go I think people hate on it because its the best bang for the buck and not that many people have it to begin with I would love to see car makers make a nitrous kit as an option Im willing to bet that car will sell very well

It's been thought of Kenwood but doubt it would go into production. Ford on their concept bronco had a nitrous kit installed already on the car but it was just a concept.

Nitrous is a cheap & quick way to gain horsepower. Its great for somebody who doesnt need power all the time and/or occasionally races or takes their car to the track. It is not "cheating".

and yes, it is a form of forced induction. just because it doesnt compress the air to get more molecules of oxygen into the engine doesnt mean its not forced induction. It goes about it in a different way than turbo & superchargers but in the end, the goal is to get as much oxygen into the engine as possible to make a more powerful combustion and more power.

As for the topic at hand.. in my city, nitrous is $10 a pound.

thats a good deal I think its a good value

are you talking about 10$ a pound? If so your nuts!

Here it's like 3.25$ a pound and still hurts my wallet!

The forseeable problem with that from a manufacturer standpoint is reliabity. Nitrious as an OEM option on a car would undoubtable make wuto makers worried about warrenty issues. Just look at the number of abused Evo's and WRX's coming back for claims. It's gotten so bad some of the manufacturers are starting to deny claims in these cases because of the "abuse."

Nitrious as an OEm option would no doubt result in hard driving and engine abuse, much like the turbo on the evo and wrx has some drivers abusing them.

Not all poeple will abuse them, but even a few can create a big cost warrenty wise. Most likely, if a manufacturer installed nitrious as a dealer option, that model vehcile would carry a shorter warrenty, which might scare away some buyers in itself in these days of longer and extended warrenty coverage. :2cents:

kenwood guy
10-21-2004, 11:22 PM
its a risk an automaker needs to try as long as its an option and the consumer knows what could happen and understands the warrenty stuff and the producer markets that option like crazy its all good but I can see your point but I still think its an idea worth a try as far as the evo and wrx thing.... if thoses companys have balls to that and stand on there own to feet and take the blast nitrous would be the same thing ..... just my 2 cents

Someone who can't install their own nitrous probably shouldn't have any, Even though some cars come with turbos, most people don't screw around with them. With nitrous, inexperienced people might want to hit the laughing gas much more than they should.

That's a good point, was I was trying to make above toot, we've already how the people mash the throttle and shift hard in the Evo and WRX, something that has lead to an astounding number of warrenty claims for the age. With nitrious, I can see people hitting the gas waaayyyyy to much, and causing big problems as a result. I just think something like Nitrious is not a good option for a OEM automobile, especialy with all the people out their how can't keep their foot from mashing the peddle. I can see nitrious as an OEM options leading to some nasty warrenty claims.

kenwood guy
10-22-2004, 02:46 PM
thats why they sould void the warrenty all toghter the consumer should know the risk involved

You don't need an OEM option for Nitrious if you are interested in adding it even though you'll void the warrenty. You can got out and buy an aftermarket NItrious kit for that!!! The sell of an OEM option would be the same as an OEM turbo'd car: the extra power with OEM reliablity and warrenty. If you voided the warrenty while selling that as an oem option, you would talk away the only real incentive people have to buy it from you.

They'd be better off buying an easy to install aftermarket one, and then promtly removing it and hiding the evidence if something should occur. At least then they'd still have a chance at a warrenty claim.

Umm...this comment didn't really serve a point in terms of how the direction of the thread had gone by page 3 when it died...we were debating why oem nitriou options are a bad/good idea...if you'd read that far you'd know.

Well, my point was the "hating" had stopped by the time you wrote that. The topic had changed.
