nitrous on road race?

The Kev

Vtec? I have V-TAK! Son..
Serious question, Why would need Nitrous on a road course? Wouldn't nitrous be a distraction if, let's say, a loose bottle that was not secured properly?

lol just for a littel boost on the straight away, but if you properly secure the bottle you shouldnt have anything to worry about, but like i said i was just curious to see if anyone does it because we were talking about it in my class, plus im not a fan of spraying

The Nitrous won't explode but the bottle might, due to too much pressure caused by extreme heat (Car that has been sitting under the sun at the track). I heard about it from the shop that I go to to refill my bottle.

i worry about bottle not properly secure than blowing up. if you crash to another car, wall, etc. a lose high pressure bottle in cabin is not the adventure im looking forward on track...lol

The bottle holder that comes with the kit holds the bottle in place well. I've had the bottle in my car during canyon runs and track days. No worries about the bottle breaking loose.

I use Nitrous on the track, but yes it does distract you to some point which is why I use it only on the straights. Nitrous is pretty much my Vtec. Hehez.

But I've not been using it for like 4 months due as my funds are going towards my engine build. So The bottle's empty now.

some kid had NOS and he some how turned or some crap and next thing you know his car was doing somersaults so i guess that stuck with me. People told me his NOS caused it and this was about the time i got into cars so it stuck there.

Currently 65shots. Any higher you will need to retard timing. You don't really need to tune to run nitrous in an LS because you don't need to deal with vtec. But of course if you want the most out of it you will need to tune.

All I can say is that it's the best bang for the buck. Way cheaper than turbo or supercharger. Also your engine is not constantly under pressure because there is an on and off switch. :thumbs up:
Plus if you tune, 1 shot = 1< x HP
