General Lift Kits Locker/UnLocker Tires Nitrous Oxide Warranty Shipping Return Policy Nitrous Oxide * N2O FAQs courtesy of Nitrous Express * How does nitrous oxide create more horsepower? Nitrous oxide provides the oxygen that allows an engine to burn more fuel, more burned fuel equals more power. What is the difference between a wet and a dry system? 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. Can I still run my ATV all-motor with nitrous installed? Of course, the nitrous system only affects performance when it is being used. Can nitrous blow my engine up? Nitrous in and of itself cannot "blow up" an engine. Nitrous kits of poor design, poor quality, and improper air/fuel ratios damage engines. What is nitrous backfire? Nitrous backfires can be caused by two situations: 1. A nitrous system that is two 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. What is meant by 30, 50, 100, 150, and 200 shots? "Shot" is commonly used slang in the nitrous community to refer to the amount of horsepower increase provided by the nitrous system. How long can I squeeze nitrous in my engine? The only limitation is the capacity of the bottle or the RPM limit of the engine. When is the best time to use nitrous? When you want to go fast. How can a nitrous system be activated (push button, automatically, or what)? All NX systems come standard with wide-open throttle switches, however we offer an electronic TPS switch as well as a push button. What is the safest way to configure nitrous activation? 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. Is a bottle heater good? A quality bottle heater is essential to proper nitrous system performance. Accurate calibration of your system depends on the bottle temperature remaining constant. The best way to ensure adequate bottle pressure is to use an NX Power Sports Bottle Heater. Do I need a purge valve? Why? A purge valve is a valuable tool for increased nitrous performance. It allows the user to "Purge" all gaseous nitrous from the bottle supply line prior to using the system. This allows for a harder "Hit" from the system thus increasing performance. Can I vary the amount of nitrous injected when I want? Yes, by utilizing NX's digital progressive controller, the "Maximizer". This device allows the user to precisely control the amount of nitrous delivered to an engine from the comfort of the drivers seat. How much of a horsepower increase can I expect from a nitrous system? 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. Is there a trade off for engine reliability and power produced with nitrous? When used according to factory recommendations, shortened engine life should not be a concern. How long will a bottle of nitrous last? 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. (e.g. If your system is jetted for 100 horsepower it will use 0.8 lbs of nitrous for every 10 seconds of usage.) How much does it cost to get nitrous refills? Does High Lifter do refills? The cost of nitrous oxide varies with the region of the country, however a general estimate would be between $3.50-5.00 per pound. Yes High Lifter does refills. What comes with a nitrous kit? Most NX systems come complete with a nitrous bottle, stainless steel bottle brackets, nitrous and fuel lines, solenoids, mounting hardware, relay and wiring harness, WOT activation switch, all standard jet settings depending on the kit, a lifetime warranty, and complete instructions with pictures. Will I need anything else to install the kit properly? 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. What are some general rules for creating the most horsepower without damaging anything? 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. Is a nitrous system worth the money (horsepower per dollar wise)? No other device in the world offers such a bargain as nitrous oxide. Why does nitrous have such a scary reputation? There has been some very shoddy nitrous "kits" sold to unsuspecting customers over the last 20 years; this along with the abuse nitrous has suffered from those who damage their own engines with improper installations.
