Nitrous Oxide (NOS, Zex, NX Express, Venom, etc) This forum is for Nitrous Oxide discussions, and an area for folks to ask questions about Nitrous Oxide and related parts.

Do you consider nitrous NA or Boost?

Its natural because its free flowing. Its not forced induction... its naturally aspirated boost.

it's not natural, because it doesn't happen when you are not spraying. Is a Boosted car "natural" when you're not on boost?

Is it NA if you change the fuel? Well, the same effect could be replicated perfectly by adding nitrous to the fuel at the fuel injectors. That's the difference. It is basically a different, more combustible addition to the fuel supply.

Until the turbo starts adding power, then yes it's N/A for a few seconds.

Here's one more thing to seal it..



Natural ASPIRATION

as·pi·ra·tion (sp-rshn) n.

1. Expulsion of breath in speech.

2. Linguistics a. The pronunciation of a consonant with an aspirate.

b. A speech sound produced with an aspirate.

3. The act of breathing in; inhalation.

4. Medicine The process of removing fluids or gases from the body with a suction device.

5.
a. A strong desire for high achievement.

b.
An object of such desire; an ambition.


It does not matter what is breathed in during the ACT of breathing. The word Aspiration does not cover that. Forced induction is the opposite of Natural Aspiration. Forcing air down the engine's throat is not Natural Aspiration. Don't confuse Boosted and Forced Induction.



Adding Nitrous to the aspiration does not change the fact that it's naturally performing it's act of breathing in. It's boosted because of the additonal fuel and oxygen, and it's naturally aspirated because of the fact that it's performing the act of breathing as it always does.

I see it as a tool to find out what the bottom end will hold. Once you know then you can remove it and throw on a turbo or blower or both. Or all 3
