Nitrous kits have a variety of uses. They can be connected to the intercooler of a turbo, connected to the radiator, or just used normally. Each of these uses offers nitrous users plenty of power. The standard kits generally add about 50 - 75 HP gain on the typical stock engines.
Nitrous kits can be installed out of the box in a couple of hours and not difficult to install. Wet nitrous kits introduces the fuel and nitrous together, causing the upper intake to become soaked with fuel. However, most makes of nitrous kits combined with unsuitable intake designs, often result in distribution problems and/or intake back fires. Nitrous kits tend to produce more power than dry kits, but in some cases can be more expensive and difficult to install. Wet flow intake pipes are ideal for nitrous systems.
These issues have been cleared up today, thanks to pre assembled kits from the factory. These nitrous kits have been giving import car owners many advantages over alternative forms of making power. Turbo kits cost thousands. For about 600 bucks you can have yourself a nitrous kit that will perform faster on the track than a 4 thousand dollar turbo kit. The racing scene has been using nitrous kits since the early 70's, mabey even the 60's.
The N2o systems of today's world, are much more advanced than before. Thanks to be use of computers, and certain programs that can control the use of nitrous more properly.
