NOS problem?

ok I knew my bottle was pretty much empty but had compressed air but I wanted to try it anyway. So I flipped the switch and the car bogged down bad and woudl accelerate well was it cause it was spraying air and no Nitrous? car ran fine ones I turned it off.

IDEAS?

If you are running a wet kit the problem is you are spraying no nitrous and stright fuel. You are infact flooding the car with gas. The car is unable to burn all the exta fuel.

umm so you sprayed compressed air into the car??


heh, the reason NitrousOXIDE works is it has a higher then normal Oxygen content.... spraying compressed air into that would do nothing. the only way to see any benifit from regular compressed air would be to have a LARGE valve and a LARGE volume of highly compressed air, and when you opened the valve and closed off the intake it would allow for some boost.. but it would be short lived as the engine would suck it up fast... and its totally impractical.

btw, dont spray straight oxygen into your motor either. it will melt it.
