Nitrous Oxide: Supply & Distribution For Motorsport Use

A “Wet” system introduces a homogenous mixture of nitrous and atomized fuel into the incoming air stream, thus providing a perfect air/fuel ratio for each.

Of course, the nitrous system only affects performance when it is being used.

Nitrous in and of itself cannot “blow” an engine. Nitrous kits of poor design, poor quality, and improper air/fuel ratios damage engines.

Nitrous backfires can be caused by two situations:

1. A nitrous system that is too rich or a system that atomizes the fuel poorly, thus causing pooling or puddling of fuel in the intake manifold.

2. A system that is operated too lean.

“Shot” is commonly used slang in the nitrous community to refer to the amount of horsepower increase provided by the nitrous system.

With an NX system the only limitation is the capacity of the N2O bottle or the RPM limit of the engine.

When you want to go fast.

All NX systems come standard with wide-open throttle switches, however we offer an electronic TPS switch as well as a push button.

The only safe way is to use a wide open throttle switch, however you may configure any number of ways to “trip” the system but all must be used in conjunction with some type of wide open throttle switch.

A quality bottle heater is essential to proper nitrous system performance.

Yes, by utilising NX’s digital progressive controller, the “Maximizer”. This device allows the user to precisely control the amount of nitrous delivered to his engine from the comfort of the drivers seat.

NX has a system for every car manufactured in the world today.

All NX systems make within 2% of their claimed horsepower, if you jet the system for 50 horsepower then you can expect no less than 49 horsepower, but usually a few more than the rated amount.

That depends on the level of power being produced. The formula for calculating your nitrous usage is: 0.8 lbs N2O X 10 seconds = 100 horsepower. I.E. If your system is jetted for 100 horsepower it will use 0.8 lbs of nitrous for every 10 seconds of usage.

NX makes a system for every car manufactured today.

Most NX systems come complete with a 10 lb nitrous bottle, stainless steel bottle brackets, 16 ft aircraft style supply line, N2O filter, lifetime warranty nitrous and fuel solenoids with mounts, all standard jet settings, an NX patented Shark nozzle (nozzles), or a patented carburetted plate, wide open throttle switch, a complete installation pack that includes all bolts, nuts, washers, wire, wire terminals, lighted arming switch, and complete instructions with pictures.

To complete the installation a Gen-X package should be ordered with the system. This includes the bottle heater, liquid filled nitrous pressure gauge, low fuel pressure safety switch, and a external bottle vent fitting and plumbing kit.

Yes, it is quite easy to hide an NX system from the casual observer.

Yes, NX specialises in turbo-supercharged nitrous applications.

Generally speaking the amount of power that can be created with nitrous is almost limitless. To avoid a catastrophe, the internal components of the engine must match the amount of power that is going to be generated. The use of proper air/fuel ratios is essential and the quality of the nitrous system is paramount.

No other power adder will offer you the the horsepower per dollar that you get with nitrous oxide.
