Where to hide nitrous bottle?

Sorry man that was about 5 years ago now I never took any pictures. I should have tho because I went a long way to hide everything! Yes it was a 10lb bottle.
Plenty of people run nitrous on stock motors. You just can't be greedy and run a massive jet. And you need to be ready to rebuild it if it does pop:roflmao:
Yea I'm guessing 50% or more of the people that run nitrous on a stock bottom end end up blowing their motor
or at least that's what I would do I'm sureThe beauty of nitrous on a diesel is that if you don't have the fuel to burn the nitrous won't add that much power. It will still increase cylinder pressure but it can only make as much power as your cp3, injectors, and tune will support. I sprayed a 75 shot on the dyno with my single pump and 4094 and only made 40 extra hp. Now with dual pumps and a 125 shot(no tuning change) comp D's horspower calculator shows closer to 125 added horsepower.Yea I'm guessing 50% or more of the people that run nitrous on a stock bottom end end up blowing their motor
Most the people I know who have popped a stock engine with a bottle have been multi-drug users. Nitrous+Meth+Propane is particularly lethal.
My question is why use nitrous unless your shooting for major hp... Wouldn't it be safer to make 800 hp with just fuel than have 700 hp with a 100hp shot of nitrous
Do people do it because they run out of air and don't want to go with a larger turbo setup?
Aftermarket pumps, injectors and turbos are expensive. You can rig up a killer cocktail of injectables for cheap! And for the guys with aftermarket stuff, sometimes you don't want a bigger turbo due to spool up on the street. So, you spray it a little bit at the track to gain the extra ponies.
A big charger affects drivability, nitrous does not. And it's cheap.
Nitrous makes power 2 ways:
It cools the intake charge so it's denser, and it creates more available oxygen to combust.
Unlike a gas engine, nitrous can't detonate in a diesel, nor can you lean it out and burn up the valves and pistons. Far safer on a diesel than a gasser.
This is how I mounted them in my 7.3L Ford... And yes, I did run blow-down tubes to vent them outside the cab
A little nitrous fog in the cab? Sounds like a good time! :woott:

I had 100+ 12 second fuel only passes and spraying it 4 passes did in my head gasket.
But it was worth it to get the sexy pic in your avatar!I had 100+ 12 second fuel only passes and spraying it 4 passes did in my head gasket.

The race stuff has nasty gas mixed in to make you puke.
We ran a few 10lb bottles through Blue (LLY) and it's still running solid.
Meaning they give it a smell so you know if your inhaling it? Similar to natural gas?
Don't remember exactly, but I believe the gas will you sick so you don't abuse it. It won't kill you, but you'll wish it had.
Didn't used to be that way. They changed over a LONG time ago.
If you want to sniff nitrous (not real smart, it can cause convulsions and brain damage): http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mosa-Cream-...?pt=Kitchen_Tools_Gadgets&hash=item3cceee8ada has no foreign gas in it.
