Great job Robin!
Great job Robin.....If we ever look for another moderator, my vote will be cast for you!....
I check out all the links you post so that I can see what you see. That way, I keep an open mind as to your thoughts on a subject.
I sent an email to their tech support because I have questions as to the safe operation of NOS on a 2 cycle engine; I'll post there reply when I get an answer.
In a 4 stroke, there is no problem with adding the NOS systems for additional horsepower because you don't burn oil for lubrication. But if your not fully aware of the use of NOS, it's a very powerful and combustable gas. And it's not a "laughing" matter. Nitrous can only be used or regulated when the throttle is wide open and then only for a burst to accelerate. Once the engine is close to reaching max rpm, you must disengage the NOS before easing off the throttle or cylinder overheat and damage can and will occur.
I used it in my high performance 350 cu.in. Chevy motor by putting on a fogger plate between my Holley carb and the aluminum intake manifold. The normal place to mount the solenoid switch was under the gas peddle, that way, you were always assured the throttle plates were wide open. Bottle mounted under or behind the drivers seat for easy access to the bottles valve.
In a 2-cycle engine, where we rely on our premix or injection system to provide lubrication, this NOS system will dilute the oiling affect. It would be the same as changing the oil ratio from a 50:1 mix to a 75:1 (not researched) mix ratio.
Nitrous burns like hydrogen. Clean and hot. And I mean very hot. So before any of you decide to take on this idea of burning nitrous for an extra increase in horsepower, I suggest you do all your homework before wasting your engine.
