Its not considered forced induction.. Its just not considered N/A obviously...

 

You're referring to "power adders," not "forced induction." N20 counts as a power adder only...

 

wow, for once i appreciate your response. Kudos keep it up.

 

beat me to it =/

 

Yup, it is a power adder not forced induction. Forced induction forces air into the engine to give you more air and fuel to burn (supercharger or turbocharger), where nitrous is just a more condensed form of air that is sprayed into the engine, having the same effect of more air and fuel being burned at once.

 

N2O can be really good on FI engines. normaly you wil see a better gain than what you wll n a NA set up! ayu can useit (normally nice small shot say 25bhp hit) to cool the intake and spool the trubo quicker!

but dont spray it on your interooler thats just stupid! you may as well spray it intothe intake and then you will see the pwer gains as well s the cooling benefits.

Your almost right but not really. Turbos, SCs, and Nitrous are all power adders. Turbos and SCs are forced induction and Nitrous is chemical induction...

 

A lot of the power increase found here is from your intake drawing the extra oxygen in from the blast and leaning out your mixture (yes, running lean makes more power, for a while)


And yes, it's power adder.


Come on guys, nos is not a bad word. Before fats and furryassed, it was a viable term used for nitrous oxide injection, it's just been played-out.

 

Actually that is why you either increase your fuel injectors (dry kit) or the nitrous kit has fuel jets built in (wet kit). You do NOT want to run lean especially on nitrous. The power is made from additional air AND fuel. Running too lean will actually make you lose power.

 

I was talking about the increase from spraying on your FMIC, not n2o in general.

 

Those N20 chiller systems don't do to much if anything at all...i mean i put one on my car and really didn't see and noticable results..i mean if it was like 120degrees outstide it might do something but when i dynoed my car it was like 75 degrees out side

 

Is nitrous forced in the motor?

 

It is sprayed into the intake like your wiper sprayers spray water onto your windshield. It is already pressurized in the bottle so you just spray the condensed air into the intake.

 

so your forcing it in?

 

yes nitrous is concidered a form forced induction:

1)you are putting something in the motor that is not "natrually" there, you are forcing the motor to take in the nitrous. You put it there, its not "natrually asperated" any more. It was extra oxygen that you forced it to take in, not something the motor chose to.

2) if you ever go to a dyno compition (for instence at a car show) and you were spraying, they will put you in with the turbo and supercharger car because it is concidered a "power adder"

3) they have special classes in drag racing where you are allowed only one "power adder" ie: supercharger, turbocharger, or nitrous. they also have it set for two "power adders" ei:turbo and nitrous or supersharger and nitrous.
