Can you put nitrous on a 2 stroke engine?

Although a 2 stroke lends itself to nitrous quite well and we already have a number of customers, who have set world records using 2 strokes, they are more delicate engines and therefore more prone to failure, plus using a smaller engine means it's unlikely to handle as much nitrous, so all in all I have to question ...

Can a two-stroke be supercharged?

It certainly is possible – provided it's a diesel two-stroke. It is actually necessary to force induction in some way. Detroit Diesels of older 2 stroke engines were actually supercharged and turbocharged – the supercharger would start the engine, and once it was running, the turbos would take over.

Can you put nitrous on any engine?

Nitrous kits can be installed in just about any type of vehicle and are less costly than adding a supercharger or a turbo system.

Can you run nitrous with a carburetor?

A nitrous system will need a minimum amount of fuel pressure to work properly-usually 6-10 psi for carburetor systems. The instruction manual for your kit will spell how much pressure is needed, and you really should make sure you have it.

Does nitrous damage your engine?

Will nitrous injection damage my engine? The use of a correctly designed, high quality nitrous oxide system, that is fitted and used correctly within prescribed safe limits, will put your engine at little to no risk of damage.

What happens? 300 Shot on a Stock 1.6L Miata!

How long will a 10 pound bottle of nitrous last?

A: It depends on bottle capacity and the size of the nitrous shot being used. On the 75hp setting, a 10 lb. bottle will last around 10 quarter mile runs. On the 125hp setting the bottle will last around 6 runs.

How much HP does Nos add?

If you're wondering what's the easiest and cheapest way to add a lot of horsepower to your engine, then we have the answer: nitrous oxide. Yep, for less than $500 you can add 100 to 200 hp to your engine using common hand tools and without breaking a sweat.

What is the best fuel to run with nitrous?

Use of a premium type leaded or unleaded fuel of 92, or greater, octane is recommended for most applications. Most Ny-Trex performance systems are designed for use with service station pump gas. However, when higher compression or higher horsepower levels are used, a racing fuel of 100 octane, or more, must be used.

What is needed to run nitrous?

Nitrous oxide is an oxidizer, and you need to add fuel with the added oxygen to get power. The mixture of fuel and oxygen needs to be pretty close to ideal so that the mixture can ignite at the right time and the right temperature. Dry nitrous systems do not add that fuel and expect the engine to do it automatically.

Does NOS require tuning?

For a lot of people (myself included), nitrous is only tuned based on plugs. (timing, octane, plugs) are all ways of helping you tune so you dont get a blown motor. to have an effective nitrous setup, you motor needs to be tuned to smoothe out the AFR graph.

What is the cheapest way to increase horsepower?

Is wet or dry nitrous better?

Dry nitrous kits are a great first step and require less work for installation and a small bump in power output. A wet nitrous kit will deliver a fuel/nitrous oxide mixture into your intake tract.

What are the disadvantages of 2 stroke engine?

How does a 2 stroke engine supercharge?

Some big machine like marine engines uses superchargers in two stroke engines. Supercharger works like a turbine to throw the air in to the cylinder. This provides more air in to the cylinder than the engine naturally does.

How much nitrous can a stock motor take?

The maximum recommended for a stock motor is 150 horsepower.

How much HP does a 150 shot add?

With a 150 shot u should be getting 90 whp so thats still good.

When should you hit nitrous?

The best time to use Nitrous depends on the car and race you are in, but we've noticed that the best racers wait until the wheelspin indicator - shown below - stops flashing before using their Nitrous.

Does nitrous like high compression?

A: Absolutely. High or low compression ratios can work quite suitably with nitrous oxide providing the proper balance of nitrous and fuel enrichment is maintained. NS kits are used in applications from relatively low compression stock type motors to Pro-Modified, which often exceed 15 to 1.

Can you run methanol and nitrous?

Nitrous oxide injection and water methanol injection are very compatible and safe to use together. In fact, water injection is quickly becoming the most effective, economical and efficient method of optimizing the performance of both wet and dry nitrous oxide systems.

What is C16 fuel?

VP Racing C16 is a very high octane leaded race fuel and is one of their most popular fuels. It is suitable for turbocharged or supercharged engines and for nitrous applications running compression ratios up to 17:1. Highly popular race fuel for drag racing. Recommended by nitrous oxide companies.

What engines can handle NOS?

Is Nos Bad For A Stock Engine? nitrous can be used on a stock engine without any problems. The majority of nitrous kit manufacturers recommend using a stock motor with a shot of 60 horsepower or less.

Is nitrous illegal?

Supplying this drug for approved non-medical uses is already illegal under legislation introduced in 2016 under the Psychoactive Substances Act. The better known Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 (the ABC classification system) introduces possession offences and affords police and regulators greater powers.

How expensive is nitrous?

A. The cost of nitrous oxide varies with the region of the country, however a general estimate would be between $3.50-5.00 per pound.
