Oxygen Injection
A friend asked me if this was possible, and quite frankly I don't know. He wants to inject pure oxygen into his intake, much like nitrous oxide, but he wants it running at all times. Would this work, as long as it didn't run lean? Bigger injectors? Regulate O2 flow according to throttle position?
Thanks. |
Re:Oxygen Injection
sounds dangerous, tell him to do it and take pics

Re:Oxygen Injection
If it worked someone would have done it already...so I'm betting no.

Re:Oxygen Injection
I don't think you have enough oxygen to supply the motor.. *maybe* on one quarter mile pass, but that's a lot of flow, and a lot of bottles need to be running at once.

Re:Oxygen Injection
yeah they call it NO2 i think the nitrogen keeps it stable unlike pure oxygen?

Re:Oxygen Injection
u ever see what oxigen does when you introduce it to a welding torch. it gets hot and melts everything that it comes in touch with. now think what happens when the oxygen hits the combustion chamber. 98ctr

Re:Oxygen Injection
Nitrous can break engines being only 36% o2 by volume.
I don't think I would want to be driving around with a bottle of o2 in my car either. Hell just driving around with a bottle of n2o is dangerous enough. Here's a few pics of a n2o bottle explosion. pretty nasty... http://www.bettendorf.com/~mrbone/pi...!!/pict532.jpg http://www.bettendorf.com/~mrbone/pi...!!/pict534.jpg http://www.bettendorf.com/~mrbone/pi...!!/pict535.jpg http://www.bettendorf.com/~mrbone/pi...!!/pict536.jpg http://www.bettendorf.com/~mrbone/pi...!!/pict539.jpg http://www.bettendorf.com/~mrbone/pi...!!/pict541.jpg If he/she thinks they would survive that, then imagine if the contents would react violently with any petroleum. |
Re:Oxygen Injection
Oh yeah, if you remember the big explosion of the green eclipse in fast and the furious.. yeah that's what the nitrous can do.
Oh yeah, and disabled people drive around all day long with oxygen cylinders rattling around in their trunks.. my mom used to. |
Re:Oxygen Injection
98ctr is right on point. it would melt everything.
so in that case... tell your friend, that you think its a great idea. and get it on video, and post it. |
Re:Oxygen Injection
Thanks.
OK, google's got nothing. Who's got photos of exploding nitrous bottles? ;D |
