What fuel should I use for nitrous?

A: For 4-6 cylinder engines, premium pump gas is required for safe use of your nitrous system when jetted up to 75hp. Above 75hp, racing fuel is recommended for maximum engine safety. For 8 cylinder engines, premium pump gas is adequate for nitrous system settings up to 125hp. Above 125hp, racing fuel is recommended.

What fuel is good for 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.

Can you run nitrous with E 85?

With E85 and its superior cooling properties (pulls out 2.3 times the heat versus E10 during vaporization), a leaner air-fuel ratio can be safely run when E85 is teamed with nitrous oxide. Making more power with E85 and nitrous oxide is the easy part.

What should fuel pressure be for nitrous?

Nitrous systems require a minimum amount of fuel pressure to work properly. NOS systems, for example, require 5.5 to 6 psi of pressure. However, the more fuel you can feed the engine, the more power it can make.

What octane is nitrous oxide?

Q: Can pump gas be used for street/strip nitrous oxide use? A: Yes. Use a premium grade type leaded or unleaded fuel of 91 octane or greater, octane is recommended for most applications.

Why is NOS illegal in a car?

It is not illegal to store or transport them in most states, but it is unlawful to use nitrous oxide as an inhalant, and in the case of automotive-grade nitrous, it can be hazardous because of the added sulfur. For track-only vehicles or vehicles driven only on private property, nitrous oxide is legal everywhere.

Does NOS require tuning?

There's much more to this story on fuels when using nitrous, but a safe start is to start tuning with a higher-octane fuel and then tune accordingly. Fuel pressure is an equally important part of the nitrous tune. Most systems are tuned for 56 psi of fuel pressure.

Can I use a nitrous solenoid for fuel?

You cannot use the nitrous noid as a fuel noid nor can you use a fuel noid for a nitrous one.

Why do you pull timing for nitrous?

Anyone who has advanced the timing too much in any engine has heard the dreaded knock and ping. Due to the high oxygen content in a nitrous engine, the mixture will burn very quickly. That's why nitrous engines require less timing advance and high-octane fuel.

How do you prepare for nitrous?

Preparing for an Appointment Using Nitrous Oxide

Patients are advised to have little or no food for two hours preceding the dental visit because occasionally a full stomach can cause nausea or vomiting.

What is the highest octane race fuel?

104 Octane Fuels

PSC's 104 Octane Fuel is the highest octane rated unleaded racing fuel that we offer making it a popular choice for racers looking for a high-octane gas in an unleaded form. This fuel provides peak performance due to the higher level of oxygenates that you can't get from regular pump gas.

Do you need to purge dry nitrous?

Purging before a run helps get any air in the line out of the sytem, and can be used to lower the bottle pressure if you overshoot your target pressure. Bottle heaters are important to bring up the pressure in the bottle as you use the nitrous, or if it's cold outside.

How much HP does a 100 shot of nitrous add?

Maxwell: A “shot” is typically how much horsepower the nitrous system is adding to the engine. For instance, a “hundred shot” is adding 100 flywheel horsepower on top of what the engine makes normally. The horsepower level of the nitrous kit can is easily changed by swapping out metering jets.

How much does it cost to fill a nitrous bottle?

Well, it depends on where you get the nitrous. I pay $2 per pound, but I've seen as high as $4 or $5. It also depends on the size of the shot you use.

Does nitrous ruin your engine?

Does nitrous damage your engine? No. Using high-quality nitrous that's been fitted correctly and according to the requirements of your car should be safe for the engine and will not cause the engine to overheat or explode.

What states is NOS legal in?

Many people want to know: is NOS legal in all states? The answer is yes, nitrous oxide (NOS) is legal in all states for medical purposes and for off-road automotive use.

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.

Will 110 octane hurt my car?

Owner. EZ- Your engine is not set up to take advantage of 110 octane fuel, but it will definitely not cause your car to overheat. The higher the octane you use, up to a certain limit, the more resistant the fuel is to preignition/detonation/knocking, allowing an engine to run more ignition advance.

What octane is NASCAR?

The specialized NASCAR fuel is Sunoco Green E15, a 98 octane, unleaded fuel blend specifically engineered for high-performance engines and race cars. It's called Green E15 because the racing fuel is actually green in color.

What octane is jet fuel?

The octane ratings of AVGAS, a gasoline-based fuel, are usually either 91 or 100 (lean mixture) and 96 or 130 (rich mixture). The octane rating of jet fuel is much lower, around 15 – this is much more like automotive diesel and thus much more resistant to detonating due to sparks or compression.
