For those of you who think nitrous is perfectly safe when tuned right. Here's a simple nitrous backfire and ya fast and furious got it right when dom said "your lucky you didnt blow the welds on the manifold"

Oh and for what its worth I never seen water/neth do this.

I ran a wet nitrous express kit on my old EVO8 with great results. when used smartly and properly nitrous has great effects. I ran 35 50 and 75 shots on that car .
A local who tried to copy me blew his intercooler , headlight , GT35r Housing\wheel , and intake pipes to pieces , he did it the wrong way.

Looks like the benefits far outway those of nitrous, and i personally haven't run meth injection yet but it doesn't take a genius to see that this forum has its own section for meth injection but I have yet to see one for nitrous and I have personally blown engines up that WERE tuned for it and had success on engines that WEREN'T tuned for nitrous. so you be the judge of which is safer and more commonly used.

Im not saying either is "safe" being "safe" depends of course on the tune, user, failsafes, and condition of the engine itself.
yeah, cause n2o doesn't cool the air charge lol [/sarcasm]....please do more research

i can see why you've blown motors using n2o.

I don't get the thought behind using it to spool a turbo on a drag car then shutting it off after the car launches. Simple launch control can get a rather large turbo to spool sitting on the line. It might not build 40psi on the line, but as soon as you start to launch and the engine sees load, boost will shoot straight up if you have everything setup well. If the motor can't handle running out 4th on the nitrous, it probably won't handle it on the line for a lot of runs either.

I actually see a completely opposite purpose. Downsize on the turbo so the car is fun to drive on the street, then us nitrous when you go to the track. A stock frame turbo with 125-150shot would be pretty sick.

Something to watch out for though, if you don't have ample wastegate flow capability, nitrous will cause boost creep. Also, using all the proper equipment (RPM window switch, WOT switch, purge, fuel pressure safety switch, etc.) can make it considerably "more safe" to run.

Do you see anywhere in my post saying that nitrous doesn't cool intake air temps?

It would be quite obvious since its below 0 in temp coming out. You havve prob never ran nitrous or seen the destruction that can occur even when tuned properly. So mmaybe you should do more research.

Yes nitrous is perfectly safe when tuned right. It is oxygen (buffered with nitrogen to slow the combustion rate of the pure oxygen down). It's not an unstable fuel source of any sort. The backfire does not come from nitrous, it comes from wet kits placed poorly or crappy intake manifold design causing fuel puddling in the intake manifold.
With anything you do to a car you have to know what you are doing and pay attention.
Nitrous gets a bad rep because it’s cheap and “universal” so every tard can buy it and put it on just long enough to break something and blame the nitrous.

^that makes perfect sense now I understand y professional racers and tuners alike blow so many engines on nitrous. Just like the video I posted. That's a shops own car, but they don't know how to tune im sure. If you spray a 100 shot thats around 100 extra hp in the blink of an eye and about 75 ft lbs of torque extra in a split second but that doesn't break **** or put a ton of stress on parts now does it nah never man once again ur probably someone that's never ran nitrous been around it or even rode in something with it.

You are totally out of context. Read the title of this post you are replying in.... "Nitrous 50 shot".... I'm not going to hijack the forum just to get into a pissing match with you. My opinion 50 shot will be fine and yes professional tuners "blow up" cars on nitrous.... and turbos....and superchargers....and NA....and 2 strokes.. because crap happens, like a fuel pump died or a wastegate stuck, etc..etc.. FWIW I have 3 nitrous kits in my garage and have owned 7 turbo+nitrous cars with 1 failure, I broke a ringland because it detonated and I wouldn't let off because I was winning.

FYI NX just broke a world record on guess what....nitrous! and it didn't even blow up. WOW
