How does nos work? Is it a button you press to make it work or does it always work like a turbo? Can it work on a stock engine? How much is it? Where does it hook up to? Where do you put the bottle if your car is totally stock inside? Can it make you high? (Black Sheep, good movie... nevermind)

 

Nitrous oxide is the same stuff they use at the dentist, so yeah, it can make you goofy.

There are several places it can be injected, but ussualy it's injected into the intake manifold.

Nitrous oxide is an oxidizer, so when it's shot into the mixture it acts like tons of air so your car can add more fuel. Air+fuel=power.

Most people put the bottle in the trunk.

And you can either use the famous ricer NOS button or just use an arming switch. So you can mount a button that you push whenever you want it (easiest). Or you can make an arming switch that you would flip to initiate the system and then it would automatically give you NOS at WOT.

A small shot could be used on a stock engine, but only a small one. NOS is VERY hard on motors.

You can either spray with a button or a WOT switch that goes on your TPS or actual throttle depending on the n2o kit you get. A correct shot will be ok on the stock engine. I'd keep dry kits to a 50 shot on a stock engine and a wet kits to 75hp shots on a stock car.

 

dry and wet? what is WOT? TPS? So you cant push the button before you take off? How do you manage shifting gears while pushing the button?
