For some reason people know that it requires more fuel to run nitrous but they don't understand how you get that extra fuel. As choppa has said and shown with his pics there is a sprayer attached to each intake runner. On the exterior end of the sprayer are two inlets. One inlet is for the nitrous and the other is for fuel. When the Go Baby Go button is pushed two solenoids are activated. One solenoid is connected to the nitrous and the other to the fuel. (Catching a theme here?) The two solenoids allow the nitrous and fuel to pass into the intake runners and subsequently into the engine. Now for the really scientific part. Nitrous is not a magical horse power booster. It is a scientifically proven means of adding temporary horse power to an engine. How does it work? Well, nitrous oxide (also known as dinitrogen monoxide) being comprised of two parts nitrogen and one part oxygen (hence the N2O), is and oxidizer. That means it adds oxygen to the mix. What this does for the engine is allow it to burn more fuel than with just normal air. So the idea is, if we have more oxygen which is required for combustion, then we can burn more fuel which will make more power. The nitrogen really has no use to the engine other than helping to create the N2O.
Where I think people get the wrong idea is that they don't really understand how it works. Yes the cars on the fast and Furious movies used 150 shots and larger of nitrous. No a CB 550 would not be able to handle a 150 shot. However a 10 shot would be fine and the 25 shot that choppa plans to use will probably be ok. In the long run it will reduce the life expectancy of the engine, but this is true for any horsepower adder. It would be no worse for the engine in the long run than running a blower or a turbo.
Research is the key to understanding how it all works and it seems that choppa has done at least a little research. I for one am very interested to see how it works out.
