has anyone thought of doing this?

[Clayson]

is it just me or has anyone else tought of taking an oxygan tank and hooking up to your air intake and spraying oxygan in there? yeah i know i prolly spelt oxagin wrong.. ok i just had a lesson from my dad telling me that oxygan will melt the pistons and melt the engine down if it has to much oxygan.... learn somthin new every day i guess...

[suprra_girl]

oxygen is exactly what is being taken into the engine already

if you increase the oxygen without increasing fuel it will do as your dad said

we increase oxygen by modifying the car:

upgraded turbo
bigger less restrictive exhaust system
upgraded intercooler
upgraded intercooler piping

all those will increase the flow and also makes the air denser therefore more power but you need to also increase fueling appropriately

yeah... and adding nitrous, witch i dont think the nitorgan dose anything dose it? the oxygan what makes it run better correct? but the nitrogan is there to level out the oxygan so it is able to run it and not melt the pistons in the walls... but there is 2ce as much nitrogan in there as the oxygan so the nitrogan would have to do somthin or it would be worthless correct? nitrogan a high octan gas? or what really is it....

I actually read up on this before... The problem is That oxygen doesn't like to be in a pure state, it likes to stick to other elements. Nitrous is the best since int he combustion process it seperates with no ill effects, as well as not being overly combustable until it's under the pressure of a combustion chamber.

Safety, transportation, and easier to make, that and it has the same exact result as using pure Oxygen. Also, the fact that it's not pure oxygen, since in the state of being "pure" it's actually O2, as it wants to bond to something, even itself. It's a lot of chemistry, but the nitrous it just a carrier, and a reliable one at that...

O X Y G E N < < < you know what ... why dont you just try it and see what happens? im sure someone somewhere has tried it. and you let me know what happens.hmmmmm

[SupraMan1784]

hahaha too much air and not enough fuel = lean which in teh end = bad which also leads to melted pistons, bad

[joel w]

I run with a 78%/21% mix of nitrogen, oxygen.



yes its standard air...

Nitrogen(N2) and Nitrous oxide(NO2) are two different compounds
Nitrogen is like 70-ish percent in the air we breathe, but nitrous kits use nitrous oxide, which breaks down into nitrogen(N2) and oxygen(O2) at about 500 degrees, thus dumping more O2 into your system
