  • Nitrous oxide when injected into a gasoline engine does 2 things. 1. It rapidly converts from liquid to gas causing a cooling effect. That cooling effect make the intake air more dense, more air means you can add more gas. The Nitrous Oxide also splits into Oxygen and Nitrogen adding more fuel to the fire. You have to have a balance between the Nitrous and gasoline, if there is a sudden drop in gasoline rate the nitrous rather oxygen and nitrogen will explode in the cylinders.

  • @duflar also the heat required to brake the bonds between the nitrogen and oxygen causes a cooling effect :P

  • His nitrous bittle explode

  • WTF? it fuckin' sneezed and called it a day?

  • Jeez, his R/T sucks!

  • @axle11201 or someone has used nitrous before and knows what can happen from personal experience. and also its a good idea to know what and how it happens if your going to use something...

  • @duflar Shit someone did thier homework :P

  • @duflar one of the cons is that because it rapidly cools down the engine and then reheats the engine... it causes stress on the metal making it more prone to bending and cracking. this will ultimately lead to engine failure as you can see here !!!

  • Just run the video backwards, and forget it ever happened!

  • who won???

  • The driver : "WHAAAAAAAAAT????"
