WHAT IS NITROUS OXIDE? Nitrous Oxide is a cryogenic gas composed of nitrogen and oxygen molecules. It is stored as a “gas over a liquid” which means that both liquid and gaseous nitrous oxide is delivered into your engine. It is 36% oxygen by weight, which is what produces the added horsepower. By injecting more oxygen (and a corresponding fuel signal), we create the additional power much like a supercharger or a turbocharger does. Nitrous Oxide is considered an “oxidizer” and not a fuel. Nitrou

1.3 Engine Operation Considerations When used correctly, nitrous oxide safely elevates cylinder pressures and temperatures while increasing combustion rate. These characteristics make the engine more sensitive to detonation. To ensure proper performance and engine life, the following tips are suggested: Adequate Fuel Pressure and Delivery: When designing your fuel system, plan on your pumps and lines flowing at least 0.1 gallons per hour per horsepower at rated pressure. The testing at Edelbrock

2.0 Nitrous System Installation 2.1 Installation Instructions 1. Disconnect both the nitrous and fuel lines leading from the solenoids to the plate. Be careful not to lose the nitrous and fuel jet that you currently have installed in the system when removing these lines. 2. Using a 7/16” wrench or socket remove both the nitrous inlet fitting and the fuel inlet fitting. 3. Thoroughly clean the threaded holes of the plate that are exposed after removal of the inlet fittings. Make sure that there i

2.4 2-Stage Nitrous Electrical System Installation Procedures Determine the location of the relay and fuse holder wire harness. Most common installations locate these components inside the driver’s compartment and close to the fuse panel under the dash. You can also mount the relay and ruse holder harness close to the battery. However, these connectors are water-resistant not waterproof, so care is required when mounting this assembly under the hood of your vehicle. The wire harness attached to

4.0 Baseline Tuning Suggestions Utilizing nitrous oxide as a power adder is similar to a supercharger or a turbocharger in that it increases the amount of air an engine can get over a naturally aspirated condition. There are some significant differences: 1. Nitrous oxide is very oxygen rich. This oxygen is of a much higher density, so the opportunity to extract very high quotients of power is high. 2. Nitrous oxide injection does not have a parasitic load factor associated with its use and as su

5.0 Ignition Timing and Nitrous Because we are oxidizing the air/fuel mix going into the engine when nitrous oxide is used, we must pay close attention to the ignition timing profile. Remember, “nitrous” oxygen is more dense than “atmospheric” oxygen and resulting in an accelerated burn rate of your fuel. In anticipation of the quicker burn time, you must retard the timing of the ignition system when using nitrous oxide. The more power we try to make, the more timing in degrees we must remove fr

8. What Happened? Did your vehicle go faster? slower? What did the engine sound like? Did the nitrous system work? Refer to the timing charts, and examine spark plugs for signs of detonation. a. If power increased or vehicle mph increased and your spark plugs show no signs of overheating or detonation, you could try to increase ignition timing 1° to 2°. b. If power increased or vehicle mph increased and spark plugs begin to show slight signs of detonation - STOP! Do not advance timing further
