Best Answer

it dosent unless you spray too much.

Well due to the greatly increased cylinder pressures created by using NOS, the engine as a whole is placed under greater stress than it would be under normal driving conditions, especially the parts involved with the combustion chamber. A standard engine with components not able to cope with the increased stress imposed by the use of nitrous systems can experience major engine damage, such as cracked or destroyed pistons, connecting rods, or crankshafts.

Even if the engine is up to the task, severe damage can occur if a problem occurs in the fuel system; an engine running with nitrous oxide depends heavily on the proper air to fuel ratio to prevent detonation from occurring.

How much horsepower is in one tank of nos?

There is no set amount of horsepower in a tank of NOS. NOS is an oxidizer that means it allows your fuel to be burned more quickly. The increase in horsepower depends on the quality of the engine. consult a master certified auto technician before installing a NOS system in your vehicle.


Does nos ruin engines i mean relativly stock engines sprayed three times?

It depends on how much nos you use and how you use it. I wouldn't run anything more than a 50 hp hit in a stock engine. anything more you'll melt the pistons. then the pistons will scrape the walls of the cylinders. then your looking buying a new engine cause it would be cheaper than the one you just destroyed. oh and if you do use nos keep it off the rev limiter.

How fast does NOS make you go?

NOS will add from 25 to 500 h.p. depending on what your engine can handle and if the system is installed correctly. The cooling effect of NOS added to a 350 h.p. engine will add about 25 h.p. from the cooling effect alone. So the answer to your question depends on many factors. Engine size, weight of car, and the system you install. Remember, do this wrong and you will destroy your engine. Let the experts tell you what your engine can safely handle.


How does a nos system in a car works?

nos system is basically added in a car to cause massive increase in speed.nos or nitrous system works when the driver pushes the button.it can increase power as little as 0.5hp or much as 3,000hp depending on the engine type and nitrous system type. nos are of different types and power 2x nitrous power;5x nitrous power and 10x nitrous power, the most powerful is 10x.nos can only be installed in cars having horsepower more than 550.

Will traction control damage the engine of a 2001 Ford Mustang if you spray nitrous when the TC engages?

Traction control (TC) will not damage your engine. The NOS could. The fact the TC is engaging would indicate you are breaking traction due to using too big of a NOS shot. Some TC systems (I believe the 2001 Mustang is one) controls wheels spin by reducing fuel...a bad situation for a NOS equipped car. If you're at the track, turn the TC off, and concentrate on throttle control. You could end up with a serious detonation issue. The 4.6 does not have a strong "factory" bottom end, you should consider an upgrade here as your next priority.
