Race car drivers participating in motor sports that legally allow using nitrous oxide reach unbelievable high speeds. There are many misconceptions by those in the public that are misinformed about other’s use of this injection system in particular. As long as individuals inexperienced in fitting such an engine system decide to hire a professional mechanic, it needn’t be dangerous. However, for those new to choosing nos kits and performance exhaust, critical priority must be considered to all possible danger.

Nos, or a nitrous oxide system refers to the entire system and all its components involved in the combustion of the chemical compound N20. A colorless, odorless gas, it remains nonflammable at room temperature. It is commonly used in surgery an dentistry for its anesthetic and analgesic effects.

It’s other use is in rocket motors, where it is a powerful component. This was its original use, as a rocket fuel. It’s advantageous to taking on board to float because of it’s non-toxic and stable nature at room temperature. When exposed to air, another advantage is that it easily and safely degrades.

Upon combustion inside an engine, N20 becomes a dense combination of oxygen and nitrogen that is very dense, even denser than the oxygen in the air. This sort of pressure must be released safely due to its flammability. With the correct engine, when this supercharge is ejected it can send a rocket off, or in an engine send it traveling at a high speed.

Since an automobile engine is greatly smaller than a jets, a specialized system must be installed. Because the cylinder pressure has increased, so does the engines potential to detonate. Since the nitrous will continually be exposed to the high temperatures within the motor, handled carefully at all times.

Top priority is having a proper engine outfit capable of handling this surge of combustion. Attention especially should be paid to the exhaust that must be installed to manage the output of excess energy. Only at the discretion of a professional mechanic should this system be installed and maintained. Even a minor weakness in a degraded head gasket or piston could cause a serious explosion.

Despite factors of safety, this technology has improved greatly since its first introduction into the consumer market. It has been greatly modified since original use solely on specialized aircraft. Modern science has applied itself to creating superior parts that can be relied upon for quality and durability. Like any other power increasing modification, safety only goes as far as the individual who installs and manages its maintenance.

Hence why it is recommended when choosing nos kits and performance exhaust systems to purchase and have them professionally installed as a whole unit. As a team, the buyer and the mechanic if separate individuals must take the time to explore the many options to choose from. As long as safety is priority, however, there is no reason why high speeds can’t be obtained by the driver and for the enjoyment and appreciation of onlooking spectators.
