jevans is right, but doing this on road cars is not a good idea if you want to do anything other than go fast. There's a lesson to be learned there. Race your race car. Drive your ordinary car like a sane person. Do anything you want with our R/C car!

@wsbill14224 You are mostly correct but not 100%, you get more fuel delivery during a nitrous oxide run in an RC car due to a sequence of events that takes place during a nitrous run. When the nitrous oxide breaks down in the combustion chamber the added oxygen causes a more rapid and complete burn of the fuel, this in turn increases combustion chamber pressure (hence more power) the increased combustion chamber pressure causes higher pressure in the exhaust system.

Higher exhaust pressure pressurizes the fuel tank to a higher level than normal which increases fuel flow. With my nitrous system I saw a 64% increase in fuel flow during a wide open throttle nitrous run.

next up, dyno testing? :)

@dwnrety1 We are in the process of building a dyno

[jugglesandmrmathess]

Dam, there nitro cars and trucks mostly are gunna need a bigger fuel tank if the nitro fuel is burned 64% faster than normal. might as well spend the cash you'd be spending on nitro fuel, on a new nitro engine that goes as fast as it would if you had nitrous, or the closest thing

[itsgr82bl8]

@jugglesandmrmathess it is only burning more fuel during nitrous oxide runs, when the nitrous is not being injected fuel consumption is normal.

spot on explanation!

its getting so old ppl how argue and don't actually understand the principles.

(ie. nitous is chemically enriching, not forced induction)

good job itsag8!!!

[itsgr82bl8]

Yes nitrous oxide is cold, and yes that does increase horse power however that is not where the majority of the increase comes in. For every 10 degrees you lower intake temp you pick up about 1% in horse power. The major increase comes from the added oxygen you get from the nitrous oxide entering the combustion chamber and oxidizing or burning the fuel more rapidly. See my video for a demonstration. Nitrous oxide through a cigarette.

you can see the tires balloon as the nitrous comes in ( as the throttle is fully applied )

@RDubya146 nitrous is N2O not NO2. 2 different animals all together.
