I run nitrous on my truck at the track.
No expert but might be able to answer some simple questions.

well heres the original question that was posed over there...

I have some questions about Nitrous Oxide as you don't see many people in Europe using it. Is it actually allowed to use it in your car in the United States? And this is the same system which is used in cars in Too Fast Too Furious?

Yes it's basically the same as the fast & furious moves,,,somewhat...lol

I have no idea what the laws are in the US but I'm sure it varies from state to state.

well....it's kinda the same as the F&F setups....

there are a ton of different NOS systems available. Direct Port, Indirect port, wet, dry, fuel stabilized, fuel mixed, full blown NOS + alcohol....

it all depends how much you want to spend

As for legality, there is no law that I know of in the US that say's that using NOS is "illegal" however you won't pass emissions testing with it turned on. You also don't want to run it all the time as it'll cost a fortune, and it'll eventually melt your rings & valves.

If you are smart, NOS can be VERY potent for a very affordable amount of money. a "safe" 100HP can be achieved for less than $1000, which as far as I know beats any forced induction setup.

Venom makes a great kit, so does NOS, so does Zex, and the Nitrous Wizard Kits from the UK have made there way into 2 of my cars.

What engine do you want to bolt it onto? that'll give us a little more direction to start recommending setups.

Oh, and don't read into all the UK stuff....nitrous wizards make good stuff, but for some of the american iron setups, you can do just as well with less expensive kits.

I've been spraying my Excursion lately.. N2O can be a great, reliable, power adder in moderation.. You won't get the blurry vision when you hit the button like they do in the movies, unless you have a big leak in the passenger compartment..

As far as legality, the only one's that I thought would care would be emissions inspectors.. I tested that theory last June when I has mine smogged(they smog diesels in NV).. I popped the hood and he couldn't have cared less..

2000BLK54 is starting off with a positive reputation.
Ford dealerships sold Saleen Focuses (Foci?) a few years ago. They had nitrous kits installed but for legality reasons they couldn't be sold with the systems plumbed up and the bottles filled. I think you'll find most places frown if not outright outlaw functional nitrous kits. Now, in reality, do it and be responsible with it. Don't advertise that you have it, don't purge all over town, and don't take shortcuts installing the system.




Leave that Fast & Furious crap to the ricers and school kids too.

Mustang6147 is gaining momentum as a positive member of FTE.
Its not illegal, but it is hard on the enignes... Especially when the fuel system fails... LOL

Thats probably why Ford took them off... A simple miss, becomes a catastrophic engine failure.
