Who's used the nitrous kit?

[a/c man]

A buddy of mine gave me a nitrous kit just like this one:

Do any of you have one installed ?
I don't want to crack a piston. I don't want to run it too lean either.
I know somebody has experience with NOS on their bike engine.
I have a 2 stroke and can't stop fooling with the darn thing.
Please help before I do it anyway and grenade my engine

i have thought about getting a nitrous kit for one of my bikes, but i just can't justify the pricetag on those kits. i've owned 3 cars with nitrous on them in the past, so i have messed with it before.
there is a lot to know about nos and you will have to richen up your air-fuel ratio to make the nitrous more effective, and to keep from leaning it out when you use it.
the problem that i can see is that to do it right, you would have to richen up the air-fuel ratio so much, that your engine might run terrible when you are not using the nitrous. the right way to do it (from my experience) is to have a secondary way to inject extra fuel into the cylinder only when you activate the nitrous. this is acheived in automotive nos systems by using a nitrous solenoid, and a gas solenoid. both solenoids have jets in them so you can tune the nitrous to extra fuel ratio and leave your carb jetting alone one you get the carb set right.
the big issue with nitrous is that when you run it too lean you will melt the piston. Nitrous will always cause a lean condition when you use it, and that's why adding extra fuel is necessary.
this is with big horsepower nitrous systems (like 250 h.p. set ups)..i'm not sure how much h.p. these little kits actually add.

i had nitrous on a few motors in army .

the 16g no2 handle bar kit only puts out 1/4 hp an shoots 4 or 5 shots at 5 secs a shot .
so u will need a ceramic topped piston an a richer settin to run .

I guess since nobody has been a good guinea pig for the NOS kit, I won't run the risk of damaging my engine.
I really don't need the power, just thought it might be fun.
My engine already will rev to the moon as it is.
Thanks for the input anyway guys.
I guess this thread is dead but my engine will live another day.

nos

Iv'e been using my nos for only a few days now and i realy like it. Already used up 5 cartriges and I am going to have a look inside the engine today to see what everything looks like

Hey Goodtime65,
How's that NOS kit increase your power output?
Is it a worthwhile add-on, or just a gimmick designed to make some vendor some extra $$$ ?
I'd be interested in the knowing if you've got any damage to your piston
or blackened up your top end. I'm already running mine pretty lean.
Please report your findings after you take it apart.
You've rekindled my interest but I guess I still have reservations about
hurting my WTF bike. Right now it seems to be my only good friend.
Thanks,
TIM

Nos

So far I have used up 5 cylinders and everything looks pretty normal inside. The difference in top end speed is wild. just a couple short bursts and I leave everyone behind. I do run my engines rich also

I've seen a youtube video of a nitrous kit setup and a run, the kit seem stable, but unless in an open area without objects I wouldnt necessarily use it. Especially in the city where traffic is congested.

I used one of those little nos kits on a 40 cc Moby goped and liked it so much I went to a 16 oz bottle and attached the trigger to the handle bars. I was thinking about a simmilar set up on a 66 cc MB and wonder if anyone has done a nos set up larger than the cheezy whippet style bottles.
