There is no way im going to try this but i was thinking, could you have an oxygen tank connected to your air instake and then somehow get it to open when ever you wanted some extra power ? like in Mad Max ?

It would be like a NOS system :D

he he

Unless it was channelled and forced, I believe it would find the path of least resistance to escape which I think would be out the front of your air intake. lol

Just get the NOS kit or supercharger :badgrin: lol

:bowrofl: :bowrofl: WTF you have issues man :nuts:

You could always hook up a nitrous system and just use o2 instead of N2o but it wouldnt be as effective as i'm pretty sure Nitrous is more explosive yet more expensive. So say you had a 100 shot of nitrous and ran oxygen instead it would only be a 50-75 shot... Or that could be the other way round, i'm not up on my chemistry lessons :D

what if i could get it to release at a slower rate ? or better yet, just bolt ot straight on and make it air tight :D

It would be good for dyno runs and the 1/4 mile :D

It's the oxygen in Nitrous which makes the power........ pure oxygen is a pretty volitile gas. all you need is pure oxygen and an ignition source to trigger an explosion. Combine pressure, fuel and spark....... I reckon you'd blow your engine up without any trouble at all.

I thought the nitrous only helped the oxygen to be more compressed or something ?

Ya pistons would melt amoungst other things, its the oxygen in the nos that does the work. The nitrogen is to stabilize the whole thing, assisst compression and aid in stopping everything else in the combustion chamber from oxidising as well. Pump in O2 and say bi bi to your wallet. :D

I'm sure lots of people have thought of it, dont feel to bad. :)

Nitrous oxide in itself is neither explosive nor flammable. *Under the heat of combustion*, it releases 1 part nitrogen to 2 parts oxygen.

It isn't a fuel, and it will cause leaning out of the mixture if it is added on its own without extra fuelling - the cooling effect will reduce some detonation though.

Adding oxygen is a very poor idea. It will work the same way as nitrous (increasing the oxygen content of the air intake charge) BUT it is a combustion accelerant (also not explosive on its own). It is also a very powerful oxidiser, so you may have unexpected effects like the PCV vapours igniting (which is why you NEVER oil the threads on an oxygen tank) or a backfire (happens from time to time) changing from a mild bang to something that blows your intake manifold apart at the seams. This is undesirable (note the use of extreme understatement).

However - that said, I have experimented with Butane injection to cure a lean-out detonation problem in a turbocharged vehicle. The butane is a fuel (obviously) and as it expands leaving the nozzle (as a liquid to a gas) it also absorbs heat energy from the intake charge making the air more dense.

I knew it was one way or the other... and now that i think about it... Nitrogen is an inert gas, dont do anything but contaminate pure gases :D

Have you seen how N2O is added to the intake mixture?
In some situations the fogger is placed before the throtle body ( I think Meh had a similar setup). The vacume created by the motor is used to suck the fine mist of notrous oxide into the engine. I don't see why a similar setup won't work with pure O2! If you release it under enough pressure through a fine nozzle it should exit as a vapour.

At a guess I think it will partially increase the oxygen content of the intake air.


EDit, just read allt he other posr, it's all been said before and shot down as an idea. lol

Yeah, that's fair enough, i just meant that any excess oxygen released i doubt would be 'forced' into the plenum etc as the intake will only draw in so much... the other excess oxy would have to go elsewhere (the wrong way ha ha)

The increase in oxygen content would be the only change as you said, I would imagine too.

if u set it up so that it only activates at 100% throttle then it would definatly go down the manifold because its sucking all the air in, its goin to be the easiest path for it to follow..
and yes my set up is like this

to something that blows your intake manifold apart at the seams. This is undesirable (note the use of extreme understatement).
i've done that twice before! ahhaha

Well put Heath old chap... :clap: :clap:

Thats what I was trying to say. O2 itself doesnt do anything it just makes other things oxidise (burn) much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much better, including things you really dont want to. :D

Try feeding the O2 to a face mask in the cabin, It wont make you go faster but you'll be so ****faced you wont give a damn. lol
