somewhat OT: is Nitrous a form of FI or can it still be considered "All Motor"
just read the post below and it made me think of this, it isn't realt FI, and it isn't really "all motor", but it is N/A sort of, right? all it is doing is adding a type of fuel source, but not really forcing anything in, i just kinda off goes in on it's own

i considering it FI, granted its only on when you want it to be. but its not making power based of parts of the engine alone.

Nitrous Oxide = Forced Induction
Why?
Because you're FORCING a chemical into your combustion chamber, which will induce a greater combustion, which leads to greatly improved performance.
Any questions?

yeah, as the guy up top said, im gonna have to call it whatever you want it to be. this has come up before, and everyone has different opinions on it. personallly, i think that if your car is bottle fed, its no longer all motor. but its also N/A. so, i say no, that nitrous is not a form of forced induction, but also isnt a all motor application. just my 0.02

i definetly agree that is no longer all motor, but it is hard to call it FI. id have to say its in a class by its self.

It's not NA and It's not All-Motor...it's Nitrous...
It's grouped in the Forced Induction Forum here, and should not be discussed in the All-Motor Forum. It's not all-motor...

Actually, it's being sprayed into the intake @ around 900-1000psi. So it's highly unlikely that the engine "pulls it in on it's own". (Ever try to hold the nozzle out as you activate the solenoids?)

I consider it FI (even though I guess it's "tecnically" not) because all sanctioning drag bodies consider it a "power adder" and they also consider a turbo(s) and supercharger(s) "power adders".

it was actualy discussed on this past weekends coverage of the NHRA pro-mod series from E-town... NHRA considers it N/A but not a zero power adder... so Yes it's N/A but no it's not All-Motor...

nitrous does not = fuel source
its just cold gas

if you're on the bottle, then you aren't na.
Giggle juice would only be a "fuel additive" if you had it in your fuel tank.

oh, it's JUST cold gas, ok, whatever you say, although it is something that combusts, which techically, makes it a fuel

it acctually doesn't work as a fuel it just makes your Oxygen colder so it becomes more dense! the more Oxygen in your Cumbustion chamgers the bigger the blast!

actually the nitrogen and oxygen seperate, adding more oxygen to create more pressure when it sparks, which also creates more heat, and the nitrogen cools the process back off

So we agree, basically it is just adding more oxygen to the Cylinder... nitrous is non flamable, so it can't be listed as a fuel...
