Nitrous question
Nitrous doesn't expand? So you're telling me something that's compressed to 950psi in a bottle isn't going to decompress and EXPAND when released into normal atmospheric conditions?

You are right though that the nitrogen seperates from the oxygen.

Yes, however it expands long before it reaches the cylinders. Said expansion does not cause the power increase either, it has an endothermic reaction, causing a massive cooling effect.
The expansion itself will not cause power. The nitrous seperating into oxygen, and nitrogen does, however.

It's nitrogens ability to carry the additional oxygen, which is released when it is ignited in the combustion chamber. Blow hard into the fire on the grille the nest time you are grilling, and you will get the picture.
Add in the EXTREMELY cold temp of N20 in it's gaseous state, into the intake, and you have a wonderfully colder intake temp.

Ok, I just went back and read this whole post.
For the young man asking about wether he will blow up his motor with nitrous and skipping the tit for tat BS:
Yes, improperly tuned n20 can and will cause a catastrophic engine failure. A small shot (50ish) and you SHOULD be fine on just about anything. No matter what size jetting you are going to use, the best advise is this: Dyno Tune the car both naturally aspirated and on the spray. One of the most important factors is going to be your air fuel ration as it is when spraying. Too little fuel and you will detonate, and wish you had never sprayed.
There are many factors to consider when spraying, a colder plug being one of them.
I'll tell you this, I have sprayed my stock bottom end LS1 to well over 600 rwhp and 700 ft/lbs rwtq by dyno tuning and and proper tune. My one mistake was sprayin with added timing and to little race gas. # 7 exhaust valve was melted and exited molten lava out the exhaust. The "known limit" for a stock LS1 bottom end was supposed to be 500 rwhp, which I greatly exceeded by using a two stage custom n20 and very carefully dyno tuning it.
If you want to guess at it by simply retarding timing, go for it. I wouldnt.
I do not wish to try to sound like I know about n20 with hondas, as all my experience has been with a mullet mobile, but an interanally combusted engine is the same. Go above a safe air fuel ratio and you will be sorry. Let somone who knows what they are doing, and have it dyno tuned. Any one can install a n20 kit, but just make sure it's set up correctly.
I would also make sure you use a rpm activated window switch that will allow the n20 to engage only at a set rpm (at lhe very least higher than 3000) and turn off at another pre set rpm. And get a damn bottle heater. When you start spraying, you will be spraying a lot more than u think now!!!

thanks guys all this helps out alot i appreciate it i will be running a pg7 euc with ls injectors if anyone knows how to tune this car for nitrous and is wiliing to help me please pm me i would apprecate it thanks \\Adam
