Small Nitrous

[gear monkey]

Can you put nitrous in a small engine if so how the internet doesn't really say much????

Yes you can, it really won't do much. You can get a sneaky Pete, from NOS/Edelbrock.
It is meant for a carburetated motor, I think you have to jet the motor lean, so it will burn right.

That's about the smallest setup you can find.

No- You actually need more gas when using nitrous. Some systems are "dry" and only add nitrous. Others (most) add extra fuel with the nitrous. What you do want is retarded timing- but the last thing you want is lean.

The main thing is jetting... so you might have to make your own jet (for the nitrous solenoid) and maybe just combine fuel and nitrous together through one jet- although I don't how you could do that as the pressures of the nitrous would probably just blow the fuel back..... (maybe a siphon set-up?) ...(like a hose-end sprayer?) IDK.....

Edit: BTW: Last time I checked- most small engines were carburetated. There is no reason to expect less than comparable hp increases in a small engine.... So ratio-wise...yes you should see the same results. Not going to add 75hp to a 6hp- but you can add a couple. ....

Uhh, no, they make a nos kit for 4cycle small engines. Comes with pre filled pressurized bottles, tiny replaceable bottles.... I'll find and post the link. Found it last week, thoughtbit was too cool. Forgot to share...http://www.ebay.com/itm/Race-Racing...Parts_Accessories&hash=item35d315e1ec&vxp=mtr

I have seen kits like this that say nitrous, but they are actually using a CO2 air cartridge. The ones pictured are probably that since they are just silver and ready to be painted. I may be wrong but i think any nitrous bottle must be labeled stating its nitrous.

They are using the small No2 cylinders similar from a whip cream bottle. They're basically the same(well using different gas).

For refills buy a 20lb bottle, and do you own refill's . For my Top Gas Bike I take 9ea 2 1/2 bottles to the track, and just in case I have a rack with the 20lb bottle on hand. I don't do much refilling at the track . I run it once and change the bottle. I am always wanting repeatability for each pass.

The boost bottles are silver, ready to paint . The NOS bottles are labled with a blue wrapper with the motorcycle image on it. There are others, can't find the link......
