Nitrous is only rough on engines if your ring gap isn't set properly and if you're just using a simple button or RPM trigger to have the hit all at once. With progressive nitrous controllers, you can have an extremely wide power band. They have an older nitrous video where they prove its far more gentle on the engine when a progressive controller controls flow than just using a button. They also prove that setting ring gap for the maximum shot you're going to use is important, because they broke ring lands on a few cylinders. Even better with those progressive controllers, is that not only can you tune the nitrous flow, but also fuel flow so that you maximize the performance gain and not wash your cylinders out. Generally speaking on OEM engines, you can get away with running as much as a 100-125shot before needing to start opening up the ring gap by a few thou.
Test mules are supposed to last, not shatter every test... Why wouldn't you use a billet engine to last a long time... It's made for the abuse..... Literally. This is a year old post but still ridiculous
Started using not just Nitrous but NOS Brand since Scott and Mike started the little shop across from Cypress College in So Cal in the early 1980's! Have always loved it and always will! That should show my age! LoL 😂 ✌🤙
I had a 2007 Triumph Rocket 3 and got the bright idea to run a dry 50 shot. I had a tune boy and wired a momentary switch on the handle right handle bar. I was running 70mph when I hit it. I watched the RPMs scream up while the mph dropped down. Seriously confused I let off the throttle and the rear end snaps back straight. My buddy following me watched as I laid a 100 foot patch in the road. Dropped tire pressure and did a wheelie at 90 on a 700+ lb bike. Good times!!!
...as dangerous it is to drop and crack off the valve, I've always been surprised that nitrous bottles don't have the valve cap protection that other 'rocket capable' bottles have like say an O2 bottle (mind it does have more than twice the pressure) has...and it can't be a weight thing as you unscrew those caps when you have secured the bottle and are ready to plumb it...

need to have a way to maintain bottle pressure throughout the entire run, companies like Nano use nitrogen to do that. So you get a consistent gain throughout the power band, and not just on the hit like you saw on your dyno.
Hey guys I love the content and I enjoy the enthusiasm in your videos. I have a 4.6 mustang gt 2v I would like to see what you would do with one of those engines just to see if its a dead end or can be viable.

dave , steve could you guys buy and upgrade a 1956 Buick special with the original V8 that looks similar to the one from universal soldier please . NO Superchargers all internal parts
I'm not trying to be sarcastic but how is the vehicle going to run (street car) with the timing advanced when I'm not activating the juice. Do I have to change the timing back and fourth between "runs"? This kind of sound like deflating the tires for a street light run and then inflating when going to the store. I'll guess and say that Nitrous is just for the drag strip and not for light to light sprints.
Msd box can help by having a retarded function wires to the wide open throttle switch. That means timing can be pulled only when in use. Msd digital 6 is an example of a box that can do this.
Depends on the engine. Modern engines with modern ECUs can change the timing by the push of a button. Now make that the same button that you engage the nitrous with and you solved the problem.
Nitrous is fun and simple to add but for the long-haul I'd rather shop for a used Pro charger or blower. You always have the power at the pedal and no refilling bottles or heating them.
What i like about nitrous is that you kinda have 2 cars in one. I can drive my car to work day to day with pretty good mpg and without having lots of engine wear. But with the push of a button it turns from a sporty naturally aspirated car into a race car. Only when I want to. A turbo, blower etc. on the other hand is always engaged and you always have a little more wear. I do get your point though, that’s just my opinion on this. It depends on the car really.
@@proximitybeejay3673 Thats extremely affordable. A 10lb bottle, flowing 125-150shot, is enough for up to 20-30 passes - which is enough for an entire weekend of hot-lapping. You're not going to be using it all the time on the street.
@@Just1Spark lol no. You always want to run a gap with nitrous because it runs hot enough to expand the rings to the point where they will butt again each other and destroy the motor.
Nice going guys! I plan on adding Nitrous to a Chevy Crate Engine for my Street, weekend Cruiser obs Truck. Do I need to make sure there's goodies in the bottom end?
Yea but that motor was built, how much nitrous can you run in a stock motor, like an LS or 5.0? I know you can get about 1000HP out of an LS with stock internals by boosting it but how much nitrous can those take? The 5.0 coyote question was more of a personal question as I’m thinking about putting nitrous on my 2015 mustang GT but I want to make sure I get the biggest shot possible without risking it blowing up which from what I’ve read online is about 100 or 150 shot.
I never had nitrous but watched other people use it and some damaged there engines , you should make a show about the true problems with NOS like engine going lean , over cylinder presure , ect .
I'm kinda just learning about nitrous and I've been lead to believe that the ring gaps need to be opened up for nitrous, so wouldn't that throw the naturally aspirated numbers off a little from blowby caused by the widened gaps?
Freiburger, You are confused about the fuel air ratio with nitrous. The extra fuel is added as a coolant. The manufacturers typically measure the exhaust temps and add extra fuel to bring the exhaust temps to normal when nitrous is applied. You don't need to tune the a/f ratio of the system.
that air fuel ratio is RIDICULOUSY rich. I run 400HP systems at 12.9-13.1 and sometimes leaner. Bottle pressure is what you should be looking at, not bottle temperature
They recognized its running rich so they went back to using a different fuel jet because the plate they used maxed the nitrous flow and obviously gained more power. Bottle temperature coincides with pressure, as they stated at the beginning of the video. Hence why they mentioned bottle warmers which operate based on pressure - pressure too low, bottle warmer turns on until desired pressure is achieved. Even showed the dedicated bottle warmer they used for the video
Basic kit uses a wide open throttle switch or button. Whenever you floor it or press the button it could be on. I have raced a few time using n2o and typically launch around 2k off the foot brake. Stomp the gas and start the spray in my case.
It clears the lines of anything "non-nitrous" which ensures that when you hit the fun button it's nothing but clean nitrous oxide and instant power. Sort of same philosophy as doing a burnout and "wasting" tire to ensure a quicker launch.
Another reason is that if Ur bottle pressure is too high for what ur tune up is u can purge it to lower the pressure, but mostly it's so u only have nitrous in the line
@@tomcelica man that is not good. he also has the vertebrae damage from jumping that wagon and the shoulder/arm surgery from his younger days. Bringing us his hi-jinks and solid hot rod experience over the years is eating him up.
@Matt Rodgers yes but there is a point at X amount of bottles where you break even between the two. I suppose it comes down to application and how much usage it will have.
@@evanc6110 i tend to agree. you have to compare the cost of the nitrous refills plus the cost of the nitrous system vs the cost of the turbo and the cost of the turbo install amortized over the life of the turbo. i don't think nitrous is all that much cheaper. not to mention you never run out of turbo. or blower.
“Where are you gunna get that kind of horsepower for that price” - Richard sitting there quietly knowing he’s taken $200ls engines with $180 eBay turbos further
I was thinking the same thing, although, they're not likely to last as long as a built engine. Nitrous works, but it has a nasty habit of being cheap power until it isn't. Nitrous motors seem to be very unforgiving if anything goes wrong.
Not to mention that nitrous can be addictive, it is always tempting (and easy) to bump it up a little more, then a little more and a little more until...🔥🔥💣💣
Got a question for the Engine Masters (or anybody else that might know the answer). Given that nitrous oxide is around 35% (+/-) oxygen vs normal "air" being around 25% oxygen. why are we told we cannot use pure oxygen instead of nitrous in our race cars. Lets say we put pure oxygen in a nitrous bottle, and jet it for 75 hp nitrous and 100 hp gasoline.? Compensate for the 100% oxygen instead of 33% oxygen in nitrous oxide.? It seems to me to be a viable option, but nobody, but nobody does it. Why.?
Because when you ignite Nitrous, it releases 1 Oxygen atom for every 2 Nitrogen atoms. Which is why you need to make sure you have enough fuel flow to account for the additional oxygen entering the engine.
these 3 are children, seek an expert like Eddie Carlisle, Scooter Brothers, Forrest Pitcock, they were building engines and winning races before these clowns were a twinkle in their daddies eyes.
@@MasterWitchDoctor None of them ever claimed to be professional engine builders or experts on anything, you’re obviously taking the show way too seriously. 😄
Here is another thing. If they would of switched the -4 fittings to -6 fittings, i bet you they would of gotten more power even out of the smaller jets they started with.
Heating it raises the pressure, so lets say you have half a bottle heated and compare it to a bottle that is full without having been heated and the results would be similar. So to answer your question, yes and no.

I never had nitrous but watched other people use it and some damaged there engines , you should make a show about the true problems with NOS like engine going lean , over cylinder presure , ect .
That's a tuning issue. They just showed you.
I'm a bit surprised there is no consideration given to the spark plugs. My kit suggests 2 steps colder for a 250 capable setup.
I'm kinda just learning about nitrous and I've been lead to believe that the ring gaps need to be opened up for nitrous, so wouldn't that throw the naturally aspirated numbers off a little from blowby caused by the widened gaps?
Ring gaps and you need to drop timing, so if you don’t have a timing retardation control then it’s even worse when you’re not on the sauce
They’re not that much wider lol it’s like a couple thou if that
Ring end gap?
Freiburger, You are confused about the fuel air ratio with nitrous. The extra fuel is added as a coolant. The manufacturers typically measure the exhaust temps and add extra fuel to bring the exhaust temps to normal when nitrous is applied. You don't need to tune the a/f ratio of the system.

I’m with Steve except with boost , preferably turbo(s) N/A is boring .

By far cheaper than a turbo install. I could refill a lot of bottles for what it would cost to install an equal amount of forced induction power.
@Matt Rodgers yes but there is a point at X amount of bottles where you break even between the two. I suppose it comes down to application and how much usage it will have.
@@evanc6110 i tend to agree. you have to compare the cost of the nitrous refills plus the cost of the nitrous system vs the cost of the turbo and the cost of the turbo install amortized over the life of the turbo. i don't think nitrous is all that much cheaper. not to mention you never run out of turbo. or blower.

I was thinking the same thing, although, they're not likely to last as long as a built engine.
Nitrous works, but it has a nasty habit of being cheap power until it isn't. Nitrous motors seem to be very unforgiving if anything goes wrong.
Not to mention that nitrous can be addictive, it is always tempting (and easy) to bump it up a little more, then a little more and a little more until...🔥🔥💣💣
@@AreaThirteenThirteen soooo true
i'd be more apt to pull a $300 460 out of a junkyard and build it, before paying $6k for a short block
Holdner knows an Ebay turbo will make more power and it might be cheaper than a nitrous kit.
I was really hoping they were gonna take the jet out when 250 shot wasn't enough lol.
I want something I can daily yet absolutely race when I want… nitrous 😊
The availability is the issue, can’t find nitrous where I’m at
Got a question for the Engine Masters (or anybody else that might know the answer). Given that nitrous oxide is around 35% (+/-) oxygen vs normal "air" being around 25% oxygen. why are we told we cannot use pure oxygen instead of nitrous in our race cars. Lets say we put pure oxygen in a nitrous bottle, and jet it for 75 hp nitrous and 100 hp gasoline.? Compensate for the 100% oxygen instead of 33% oxygen in nitrous oxide.? It seems to me to be a viable option, but nobody, but nobody does it. Why.?
There was a such thing, called Ozone injection, I think, back in the 60s. Well before my time, but it gives you a starting point to research.
Because when you ignite Nitrous, it releases 1 Oxygen atom for every 2 Nitrogen atoms. Which is why you need to make sure you have enough fuel flow to account for the additional oxygen entering the engine.
If only I could have these 3 guys build me a motor for my C1500 I could die a happy man LoL 😂
these 3 are children, seek an expert like Eddie Carlisle, Scooter Brothers, Forrest Pitcock, they were building engines and winning races before these clowns were a twinkle in their daddies eyes.

None of them ever claimed to be professional engine builders or experts on anything, you’re obviously taking the show way too seriously. 😄
Here is another thing. If they would of switched the -4 fittings to -6 fittings, i bet you they would of gotten more power even out of the smaller jets they started with.
Wouldn't heating the bottle make more difference on a half full bottle?
Heating it raises the pressure, so lets say you have half a bottle heated and compare it to a bottle that is full without having been heated and the results would be similar. So to answer your question, yes and no.
Look up the "Gas Laws" and u will understand how ratios work..
HMM, Options..
What happened to the other two guys that were usually on the show?
I miss Engine Masters. No more MTOD and I can't find it on D+
I wish they'd bring back roadkill extra
Why won't you show that engine with the massive side clearances on the rods?
“It’s Beef” 😂
Bring back MotorTrend outside the U.S🤬
