Someone said in another thread that cause a V6 has not broken by using a 125 shot of Nitrous that shows it can handle boost.... so my question, and hoping it isn't a stupid one, is if you had a boost/Vac gauge on a N/A motor and hit the nitrous would it show any positive pressure from the increase in compression I think using Nitrous gets you..

Again I have never used nitrous, just being curious.

Seriously Doubt it........It should show minimal vacuum.

That is what I was thinking Erik I just didn't know.

No.

It might for a nano second......... Just before the bright flash. Maybe Lou1355 could chime in on that! :mrgreen:

No......the pressure drop from the bottle to the nozzle is pretty significant. N20 works by increasing the available combustible air and has no effect on Manifold Absolute Pressure..

right on the money.......beans for you.:mrgreen:

The increase in pressure of course is inside the cylinder! It's reasonable to assume that if it will safely handle a 125 hp shot it would also handle a 125 hp boost from supercharging or turbocharging given proper tuning.

Agreed, while the boost gauge won't read anything on the spray because it pressurizes the cylinder, not the plenum. If the pistons can take the NOS, they should be able to handle low boost no problem

But there will be no change in pressure with the use of nitrous, most certainly nothing detectable with the MAP sensor or a boost gauge. Nitrous is introducing more oxygen per volume, whereas FI is bringinging in more air, but all the other non combustible gases present in our atmosphere.
