Ok, well i wasn't planning on shooting 3000 psi into the combustion chamber. Thats not too bright. I was going to put a small nozzle that would restrict the flow of the 3000 psi into something manageable that would yield some power increase.
So for all of those bashing my idea:
How come people rig an Ultraflate kit which uses disposable high pressure co2 cartridges onto their pocket bikes and motor bikes burst it a couple time while doing top speed runs and have great results?
The only difference is that I am not using a Ultraflate that has been re-branded with a "NOS" or "BOOST" sticker which actually contains CO2.
I am using a canister capable of greater capacity and use between refills.
Why does the Ultraflate work and my idea won't work?
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO BELIEVE NITROUS IS FLAMMABLE TRY SPRAYING IT ONTO A OPEN FLAME AND WATCH IT GET EXTINGUISHED...NITROUS IS NON FLAMMABLE!
even if you use a small nozzle or jet, it will restrict the flow, but it will raise the pressure. Same as putting yout thumb over the end of a garden hose. Less flow, but higher pressure.
I messed with nitrous oxide for years on drag car engines, and i definitly know what i am talking about.
there is more to it than just shooting something into an engine to get more power. there are critical things that need to happen to make nitrous work.
the timing needs to be turned back a few degrees, you must run a colder spark plug, you must add a secondary fuel source (gasoline) everything must be ran through regulators (the secondary fuel source and the nitrous), the nitrous and the fuel need to flow through solenoids with specific jets to make sure that the fuel-nitrous mixture is not too lean, and the fuel pressure needs to be increased.
Co2 is NONFLAMMABLE like nitrous and it is used as a fire
suppressant (such as fire suppressant systems in funny cars). Nitrous on the other hand is also nonflammable but it is a
catylist. add nitrous to a fire and the fire will triple in size instantly because it is HELPING the oxygen burn the fire. a catylist is a "helper" in case you don't know what that means.
if C02 were good for combustion, do you really think that fire extinguishers and fire suppressant systems in race cars would use Co2?
Co2 displaces oxygen from a fire(it gets rid of oxygen) which makes the fire go out.
shoot Co2 into your cylinder, and all you will be doing is getting rid of all the oxygen in your air/fuel mixture and cylinder. you will be supressing the burn in the cylinder and filling it with non flammable gas that will kill the engine.
i understand that you are using Co2 gas rather than a Co2 powder like what's in a fire extingusher....but Co2 is Co2...it will do the exact same thing.
you go ahead and do whatever you're going to do, but i am telling you that it will not work.
your comment about the ultraflate kits is wrong.
what these guys are doing is getting the ultraflate kit, and replacing the Co2 cartridges with Nitrous filled cartridges that are used in the baking industry for whipped cream containers. the ultraflate kit (cartrige holder and trigger) is what you get when you buy a nitrous kit for a pocket bike or a m.b. off e-bay (or wherever).
they are just giving you nitrous filled cartridges rather than Co2 filled cartridges.
these nitrous cartridges are the same size as the Co2 cartridges so they fit right into the ultraflate holder/trigger.
