[QUOTE="ss3079, post: 44697, member: 542009"] 1. NOS does not work well with a turbo. A turbo compresses the incoming air, which in turn heats it. Run NOS through it and it will reduce the intake charge by 75 degrees or more, which I dont believe would be all that safe in a weak engine. Sure it gets rid of turbo lag but its not like you have the nitrous running all the time so it's a temporary fix. 2. Q: Is nitrous oxide flammable? A: No. Nitrous oxide by itself is non-flammable. However, the oxygen present in nitrous oxide causes combustion of fuel to take place more rapidly. Q: Will nitrous oxide cause detonation? A: Not directly. Detonation is the result of too little fuel present during combustion (lean) or too low of an octane of fuel. Too much ignition advance also causes detonation.
