Nitrous Oxide Properties and NOS Systems
This is my first post, so bare with me... I would like to know if anyone has found any useful NOS websites or NOS specialist in the LA area. I am considering a NOS system for a 2 stroke motocross bike. I also had a couple specific questions, so here goes.
1. Has anyone found a pressure vs. temperature graph of N2O that includes its phase? I'm trying to find something like a P-T diagram for steam.
2. Are there any ideal points to inject or mix the NOS into the intake of a 2-stroke? I haven't found too many companies that deal with 2-strokes aside from snowmobile applications.
Any advice would be great. Thanks for you help.
For your application a can of methanol/nitro/premix-oil (RC-car fuel) sure sounds a lot more practical (instead of dragging that bottle along). And your bike will appreciate the cooling properties of methanol.
The all or nothing nature of nitrous, as well as the problems of mounting the bottle, and the safety issues of an exposed bottle in a collision would cause me some concern if it was on a motor cycle. I would be astounded if your racing association would allow you to expose fellow competitors to the risks associated with a broken bottle or valve/check valves.
