We have a range adaptors available allowing us to refill most NOS, Nytrex, Cold Fusion, Nitrous Express, Highpower and Wizards of NOS bottles. These are perfect for restaurants, bars, and cafés as they are much larger than standard cream chargers , enabling the production of higher volumes of whipped cream. When a bottle is heated to the proper temperature—between 85 and 95 degrees Fahrenheit—the nitrous oxide will reach between 900 and 1,000 pounds per square inch of pressure inside the bottle, which is the proper pressure to begin delivery to the engine. Cooler intake air is denser and therefore contains more oxygen, which will allow more fuel to be burned and in turn make more power. Just a 10 degree drop in temperature has the potential to increase an engines power by up to 1.5%. Nitrous oxide boils at -129°F and it begins to do that as soon as it’s injected into the intake manifold. To boil, the nitrous has to absorb heat from the intake charge and in so doing has the potential to reduce the intake air temperature by up to 80°, which means that if we were dealing with say a 400 hp engine, we could see a gain of over 30 hp from the cooling effect alone and as a bonus, this cooling effect also helps the engine stay below the detonation threshold.

These deliver the pressurized nitrous from the bottle to the solenoid. They need to withstand general wear and tear from use and fitting as well as the continuous high pressures nitrous runs at, which is normally around 1000psi at peak point. WON use nylon lines that are designed to run at 2000psi peak with a burst pressure of 6000psi and being made of nylon they are much easier to work with. I've said this before but the thread has got lost in the mists of time so it seems it's time for a repeat. The use of nitrous oxide as a performance enhancement has been used since World War II. Allied aircraft used it for emergency boosts in airspeed and altitude capabilities. By the end of World War II, jet propulsion had been invented and the United States' government was losing interest in piston-powered aircraft. For nearly thirty years, the application of nitrous oxide on vehicles would be privileged information.In 2015, the then chair of the ACMD, Prof Leslie Iversen, told the home secretary at the time, Theresa May, that possession of laughing gas should remain legal. The primary reason for the selection of this gas for use in whipping cream is related to its chemical interaction with the fat molecules within the cream - there are some interesting experiments that you can try at home to demonstrate these properties. The Dutch government is to introduce a ban on laughing gas this year following concerns about the risks it poses to health and to road safety, after a surge in traffic accidents linked to the drug including a series of fatalities. As well as its numerous practical applications we feel it is important to note that N2O is a powerful greenhouse gas and a significant contributor to global warming. The majority of the gas present in the atmosphere is in fact either naturally occurring or from an industrial/agricultural source but the small 8gm nitrous oxide (NOS) canisters will also play their part so please use them responsibly.

Up to a point, adding nitrous oxide to an engine will reduce the risk of detonation (especially on forced induction engines) but after that point when larger power increases are required it will increase the risk. One of the reasons for this is the extra heat generated and the easiest way to overcome this being a problem, is to add excess fuel which will act as a coolant. Wizards of NOS nitrous systems are supplied with rich jetting to give you a safe starting point, which means this issue is already dealt with to some extent and as long as an engine is not pushed to the extreme, running slightly richer should be all you'll need to control detonation. Whilst running richer than optimum will reduce the power output slightly, the advantage of raising the detonation limit will allow more nitrous to be used to get more power more safely. Consequently we had to settle for the results of the 200 hp run which I was very disappointed about, as I was looking forward to beating the Stig by a much bigger margin. The gas produces sensations of euphoria, giggling and hallucinations, but can also cause dizziness and impaired memory, as well as accidents from leg weakness. It can also cause neurological problems by inactivating the vitamin B12. If the difference is less than the weight that SHOULD be in the bottle, only pay for the difference between the empty weight and the returned weight. So buying a bottle isn’t as simple as just saying, “I’ll buy the biggest bottle I can to get the most runs out of it at one time.” If you’re trying to get the maximum performance out of the system, it’s important to size the nitrous bottle accordingly. This is where the advice of a seasoned nitrous technician comes into play; Wagner did recommend calling to ask for assistance with sizing the bottle correctly—and filling it with the ideal amount of nitrous for your particular application—if the possibility exists. Systems bought in kit form are typically optimized with lines and fittings to work correctly with the bottle size, jet size, and expected horsepower goal.A well designed, Wizards of NOS nitrous system, which delivers an accurate amount of both nitrous and fuel and remains consistent in doing so, is vital for good performance and avoiding detonation. Wizards of NOS nitrous systems are designed in such a way to achieve this, as well as maintaining 100% reliability. He shared that the carbon fiber bottles are the same type of bottle carried by firemen for oxygen purposes when fighting fires. As you might imagine, the lighter the fireman’s gear kit can be, the better off he is when faced with a difficult firefighting position. This usage also proves out the bottle’s capabilities in those types of situations.

Do not be tempted to experiment with inhaling the gas - it has both long term and short term negative effects upon our health. Ok, so going by that, and my calculations, which aren't strong at the best of times (thank god my fiance is an accountant), a full bottle should weigh 10.494lbs including the valve??? and 6.09lbs including the valve when empty?? This type of kit is the more common set-up found in most applications. As a majority of cars cannot run a dry set up sufficiently, wet kits offer an additional fuel supply from a designated solenoid as well as one for nitrous. They tap into the car’s fuel supply near the inlet manifold and therefore rely on the standard fuel pressure and pump. There’s more control on offer with a wet kit. Using something like a progressive controller will make the most of this by strategically delaying and monitoring the supply. Direct port Nitrous has to change to a vapor [at the engine] to be functional. You want to get as much of the nitrous you can to the nozzle, and it needs to be liquid. When it’s in the bottle, and you’re getting 950 psi, that’s when it becomes a supercritical fluid, where it’s neither a liquid nor a vapor and kind of both at the same time. As soon as it goes above or below that critical temperature/pressure point, it turns into all liquid or all vapor. You have the balancing act of the two to get it from storing it in the bottle to getting it into the engine where you can use it—getting the nitrous from the bottle through all the lines, fittings, and solenoids. In a completely full bottle, it has 10 pounds of nitrous in it that is all liquid. As it gets used up, above the liquid is the vapor, and that’s what’s developing the pressure. There’s a balance between pressure and temperature, and liquid and vapor. Every time it goes through a transition, from the bottle to the nozzle, there can be a pressure drop, and if the pressure drops enough, it turns from a liquid to a vapor and screws the flow up,” says Wagner.

The blowdown tube is mounted to the pressure release device, which houses a disc that ruptures at approximately 3,000 psi. It vents the nitrous outside the car.” With all the above in mind, it is obviously essential to supply the engine with precise amounts of additional fuel to match the amount of nitrous oxide being added (to ensure the engine doesn’t run lean) and to retard the timing to an optimum setting, to achieve successful and reliable results. When all three (fuel, nitrous and timing) are controlled accurately, your engine can safely and reliably generate exceptional power increases without causing damage due to detonation. If you'd like a copy of that and one of the 5th Gear piece we did, we're giving away a free CD with each copy of my book. These kits do not use an extra fuel solenoid to deliver the fuel. Instead, they rely on the engine’s current set up and one nitrous solenoid. This can work very well but only if you have a very clever and compatible ECU that is able to inject the large amounts of extra fuel needed for when the nitrous is triggered. Dry systems can’t be used on engines with carbs. Avoid trying to cheat the fuel pressure regulator into giving more fuel too. This generally results in failure as it either doesn’t make power or melts the engine. Wet kits

Nitrous oxide has been around longer than you might at first think. It was first discovered in the 19th Century, but its potential properties were not recognized until much later when it was introduced as an anesthetic — for which it’s still used today. It was only during the Second World War that its massive performance-enhancing abilities were recognized. As a result, it was utilized in certain types of planes to make them fly faster and work in high altitudes where air content is thinner. This method releases the Nitrous Oxide(NOS) and immediately ignites it – the fuel is also the trigger and helps push a pin into the nitrous charger. Read more about it and get a full set of instructions here. A 2 Kg bottle (5 lb for those who don't do metric or fractions) should weigh 2 Kg more that the empty weight when filled and likewise the 5 Kg bottle should weigh in at 5 Kg more than the empty weight. Its benefits aren’t over yet though. When the heat in the cylinder from the combustion process reaches around 550 degrees F, the nitrous gas will disassociate into its two parts; nitrogen and oxygen. It’s these two parts that work together to create the effects they do. The oxygen increases the temperature and with it the burn rate as the nitrogen helps to buffer this excess heat. This in turn reduces the chance of detonation and therefore failure. Here at Taste Revolution, we also like our customers to take an interest in the products we buy so you might also be interested to read a little about the history and discovery on the gas - Joseph Priestley in the year 1772. The amazing man Priestly as well as synthesising N2O also discovered Oxygen and Sulphur Dioxide - which means without him then the earth's atmosphere would have an entirely different composition.Any way i took it to shakey to get filled by ............(i'm sure you know who i'm on about they only do NOS) who are there at most meetings they had a grumble about the bottle type and the highpower fittings but after some messing about managed to get just 5lb in. told me that luxfer type bottle meant for co2 so possibly will not hold the 11lbs that you might think it should. only had to pay for 5lb so no real harm done. Let’s say a .030-inch jet makes 150 horsepower on one engine, and on another engine, it may make only 80 horsepower. The engine’s efficiency, intake, cylinder head design, exhaust, and camshaft profile all play into it. So saying that a given volume of nitrous will make X horsepower is a rule of thumb but is not super accurate,” he says. Contrary to what you've been told the Jag did NOT suffer any engine problems from using the nitrous. The engine itself could have handle at least double that amount but the ignition and gearbox couldn't, as they both started to fail when we tried 250 hp. All of our nitrous oxide (NOS) canisters for sale contain 100% nitrous oxide and are safe for use with food.
