Can you use NOS with electric cars?
No, and neither can hybrids. Nitrous mixes with fuel in a combustion engine to increase the effective oxygen and allow for more fuel to be burned per cylinder fire. Electric vehicles don’t have combustion engines so it wouldn’t do anything.
Do electric cars produce nitrous oxide?
EVs such as the Roadster don’t even have tailpipes, so there’s not a constant plume of acrid smoke wafting into the air. As a result, EVs produce less methane, nitrous oxide, and assorted other greenhouse gases than their gas-powered counterparts.
Can nitrous oxide be used in cars?
Nitrous oxide is one of the simplest ways to provide a significant horsepower boost to any gasoline engine. Nitrous oxide has another effect that improves performance even more. Therefore, a car normally carries only a few minutes of nitrous oxide, and the driver uses it very selectively by pushing a button.
Can a turbo car use nitrous?
Dave Vasser: Both a turbocharger and supercharger can greatly benefit from adding nitrous. The results vary with different applications. Keep in mind that keeping intake air temps down helps aid in detonation.
What states is NOS legal in?
Many people want to know: is NOS legal in all states? The answer is yes, nitrous oxide (NOS) is legal in all states for medical purposes and for off-road automotive use.
Are NOS tanks legal?
The short answer is yes. Possession of nitrous oxide in California–for recreational, non-medical purposes–is a crime under Penal Code 381b PC. It is also widely used in medical and dental offices. And it is not included in the definition of “controlled substances” in California’s Health and Safety Code.
Can you spray nitrous with a supercharger?
Having both installed means you can use either one depending on the climate. With electric superchargers, this really can be an exclusive OR, but with most forced induction you can’t shut off the blower so you’re either using your super/turbo by itself or you’re using it along with the nitrous.
