i don't know what to say about this whole thing, without sounding liek a know it all.
But, from experience, you CAN put Nitrous oxide on a bone stock engine without causing damage (i'm talking a 4 stroke v-8 in this case).
You can run the cast crank, and cast pistons up to 125 h.p. of nitrous. Anything over a125 h.p. shot, you will need a steel crank and forged pistons.
fuel pressure is criticial, as well as ignition timing to get the most out of using nitrous.
With these kits for the little 2 stroke motors, there is no way to add additional fuel aside from running the carb rich. You need a secondary fuel supply such as a solenoid to inject fuel under pressure. dribbling fuel into the intake or the carb will not have the same effect. If set up right and tuned right, nitrous is a huge power adder and it will not cause any damage. I've ran nitrous on many v-8's in my life and i have never seen any damage from using it (i used it a lot). The thing about nitrous is that a lot of people think that it will destroy an engine, and normally if that happens it's because the system was not set up right in the first place.
You need the nitrous source (a solenoid and a jet to inject the nitrous under pressure) and a secondary fuel source (a solenoid and a jet to inject the correct amout of fuel under pressure).
shooting starting fluid into an engine can not be very good for it because starting fluid wil not provide any lubrication. sure, it will gain a ton of power and rev to the moon, but it's doing it under VERY lean conditions...which will melt a piston in no time.
