What i really was wondering is how do you drive with nitrous i have little knowledge about it. I just wanted to know if you have a five speed do you spary it in each gear is it automatic like something you turn on and then it knows when to come in, just need some help so i can understand how it work as far how to use it.

First the technical stuff: When you heat nitrous oxide to about 570 degrees F (~300 C), it splits into oxygen and nitrogen. So the injection of nitrous oxide into an engine means that more oxygen is available during combustion. Because you have more oxygen, you can also inject more fuel, allowing the same engine to produce more power. Nitrous oxide is one of the simplest ways to provide a significant horsepower boost to any gasoline engine.

Nitrous oxide has another effect that improves performance even more. When it vaporizes, nitrous oxide provides a significant cooling effect on the intake air. When you reduce the intake air temperature, you increase the air's density, and this provides even more oxygen inside the cylinder.

In my case I have a Zex kit, which sprays the gas at full throttle. The system, senses this though the TPS sensor. Others have a button they press and still others have window and rpm switches that activate the nitrous at different points.

Did this help?
