Will too much nos, break the engine?

[SVORay]

. . . For drag racing it would be nice. For everything else, it would be a useless weight increasing item.

I think this is the case for real cars too.

How much weight do you think a Nitrious system adds to a car? I'm not sure what a system would weigh either but it's less than any other forced induction system on the market! The stuff works and works well. Now would I bolt a bottle on to my RC trucks...hell ya I would. Do I believe it's the best thing to do, hell no. You would be wize to simply buy a better motor or mod the motor you got before installing a bottle on you old one.


PS, NOS is actually N.O.S...Nitrous Oxcide systems. They're pretty much the number one nitrous system manufacture and in no way related to NX systems.

I don't think NOS has anything to do with Fast and Furious, it was big WAY before that.

It's called product marketing!


Nitrous oxcide has been in use since atleast during WWII. The Germans used it on their planes...we used a water injection system on our P52's. Anyways, a manufacture pays producers all the time to advertise their products in movies. I promise you, If they didn't pay the producer of F&F to use their bottles and also pay vinny to say that line, he would have said some other *** ass line like...Damn, I gotto go, my moms calling my ass So next time you see some cool product they're using in a movie like Okleys sunglasses, think how much Okley paid them to wear their shades in that moive.

Nitrous was big before Fast and Furious, but wasn't big into the import scene, or even conisdered in R/c's until that ricer poop came out. Its all gimmick poop to try to lure silly ricers into different hobbies. And like I said, its working. (Hense mr. "VTEC" asking about a "Nos" system)

Interesting subject about product placement in movies.

I have a friend that works for WB. His sole job is to contact companies and get bids on product placement. EVERY SINGLE THING that is used in a movie has a $$ amount attached to it for promotion. If one company doesn’t want to pay or another wants to pay more, that’s the product you see. It goes all the way from Cars, food, drinks, shoes, suits, handbags, all the way down to billboards you see in the background and business they walk by or drive by.. Every image has a value to it and the values are HUGE!

I believe the largest amount paid to date was by BMW for one of the 007 Movies. Something like 5.?? Million dollars plus the cars used in the movie. I believe BMW also paid another 6-10 million to use 007 in its advertising. Coke and Burger King are at the top of the list. They will try to be an every possible movie.

I hate to tell you 4u2nv, Nitrous was very big before fast and furious. This movie made import cars much more mainstream. if you look on the drag strip a long time before the movie came out, people were using them on there drag cars. Also, underground racing was big way before this movie, nitrous was used in street racing before this movie was even conceived. If something works (and is proven to work), then it is not a gimmick. A guy i raced against the other day has Nitrous in his 67 Chevelle, is that a ricer??? i don't think so. So, you can't say that it is a gimmick to lure import fans into other hobbies.

Nitrous (on cars) is, horsepower/dollar, the most cost effective way to get more horsepower. This is why it is popular, not because of a movie!

Lets face it, power sports and power hobbies (nitro rc) will always look for something to make things faster...that's how we get better technologies. Taking products from other facets of life and incorporating them into what you like is something that has been done for a long time.

FastEddy is right. Hollywood is all about money. Anyone who bids the highest for product placement will get the spot.

How about you read my post above you. I said Nitrous was around before F&F. READ KID. Street racing was also beig before this movie, but not with imports and the whole import scene. I use to street race wayyy before that poopy movie came out. But since then, theres a HUGE facination with "Nos" turbo's and all that other poop, and kids thinking its new poop. (Like drifting.. been around for ages, but now all of a sudden its a big fad like its something new??? please..)
Also this "Nos" for Rc's is a new concept, and the supercharger is fairly new as well.. Coincidence since its a big market in the import scene has blown up? I dont think so. Like I said its a gimmick to try to lure people into the hobby. Almost every new noob to the sport is facinated with "Nos" superchargers and speed. 3 things these thing claim to promote. Anyone who has been in the hobby KNOWS this poop is just a weak attempt to get stupid kids attentions.

And you can save your breathe on trying to convince me, because I've had vehicles with nos in them. My daily driver is supercharged, and has been for years. Do I respect vehicles with "Nos" being there only upgrade? Nope. All these cavaliers, Honda's and other imports and wannabee's that have "Nos" as there only upgrade will be laughed at by ANYONE who is a true motorhead. The whole import scene is filled with moron kids who fall for gimmicks. The true tuners were there before this poop even started and will be there AFTER this fad passes.

Anyway, back on toipic... Does "Nos" drastically give you performance gains on a Rc?? No. Will it be hard to tune? Yes. very. If you can even get it to hold a tune..

I think deep down andy would love to own a hondaonder2:
So he could put a big sheet metal wing on it.And add a coffee can muffler.........VEROOOOOM VEROOOOM............................
Andy you know your a ricer at heart

 

[4u2nv]

I have respect for the tuners. Just not the ricers. A person can build a honda up real nice and put down awesome numbers, but its these duesches that run to Walmart, buy the biggest fart cans on there car and think its the fastest car on the block because of the fart can alone. Or these lazy pricks that drop a 50 shot of nawzzz on there stock motors and think there pushing 500 ponies that piss me off.

I used the phrase NOS because its easier to type than CH3NO2 or Nitrous Oxide......

Uhh . . . see post #15,CH3NO2 is the chemical symbol for Nitromethane . . .

...I just said that it does work, but don't waste your money. So, no one has pointed out exactly where i'm wrong in this statement.....

MY F***ING GOD I thought we were done here. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA . . . OK back to page one, then I'm done. This is totally pointless, you apparently have no ability to accept anything but what you currently know. My advice to you is to GET rich NOW, while you still know EVERYTHING, a few more years and you'll be another ignorant dumbass like the rest of us!

PAGE ONE:

So Why won't an NOS system work on an RC?

Because the nitromethane has already added as many oxygen molecules to the combustion chamber as it can handle. Once you have reached the "nitro threshold" for any given engine, you will see no additional power produced if you attempt to add No2 via some external means.

Lock stock, and barrel, it INVALIDATES YOUR CLAIM and the previous paragraphs provide SUPPORTING FACTS for this statement. Case f***ing closed.

And just FYI - Wikipedia is an anyone-can-add-stupid-poop there resource. CNN is off their rocker, I don't know who's on their knees for that article but there's so many unsubtantiated articles on Prikipetia it's like a message board. Except everyone f***ing knows how to type.

 

[mer]

nitrous does work!!!!

i have the the RB nirous kit yellow valve up grade and have it on a jato modded motor K&N filter injection and love it, have'nt been out run to date motor has 14 bottels of nos through it so far ,,,run it rich on the fuel side and you'll be fine only down fall is you only got about two drag runs in a bottle and she's empty ...another down fall is tires a foam insert tire will not stay together, got to run foam tires

 

[h8z2luze]

Wow why dont you dig more into the archives to bring up old drama....


This is from 2006....

 

[beason]

he has nawwws and a k&n?? wow... lmao

 

[BradZ_09]

CH3NO2. Does that really make any difference to the topic?
Look long story short, nitrous will increase horsepower, decrease engine controlability, and engine life
Not worth the money if you ask me
I may not know much about nitro cars but engines in general are the same

 

[alpinehyperlite]

Someone lock this crap up.

 

[HeartBreak]

Cuff em and shtuff 'em, ossifer.

Seriously, I remember when this thread started; nothing good came of it then.

Lock, and perhaps sticky as a lesson to future nozzers?
