Naboo.That magic button releasesa squirt of nitrous oxide,and instantly allows yourcar's engine to produce 50,100, 300 more horsepower.That's pretty incredible,but this Mr. Hollywood"Fast and Furious" wayof using Nos is pretty antiquated.So I wanted to find out in 2020,how is it really being used?Today we're gonna break down the chemistryof this laughing gas,look at how "Fast andFurious" used it in the moviesand see how Stephan Papadakis,the king of Nos himself,uses this mystery gas.(upbeat music)- Thanks to Keeps forsponsoring another episodeof bumper to bumper.I once had a full head of lushes

engine works.We've done that a lot here on the channel,but as long as you canremember this you're golden.Okay?An engine makes more powerby combining air and fuel,and then igniting that air fuel mixture.You've got more air plusmore fuel equals more power.And one way to make more poweris by forcing more air into the cylinders.That's called forceinduction and to do thiswe use superchargers andwe use turbochargers.Now the air you're breathing in right now,the same air that your car's engineis sucking in through the intakecontains 78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen.And oxygen is the importantelement we're after.So 78% of the volumethat's getting squished into the cylindersis pretty useless inthe combustion process.That nitrogen, it's takenup a lot of usable spacethat oxygen could be having.Now you might be thinkingand I thought this myself,why not just take pure oxygenand somehow sneak that into the cylinders?Well, there are a couple of reasons why,but the main reason is that pure oxygenwill cause uncontrolledburns, it's volatile.So when you supply a denseconcentration of oxygen,it makes a fuel mixtureextremely reactive.So reactive that hotspots in the cylinder,heck, even in the intake itselfcan cause many combustionsand that's not good.You want those combustionsto be controlledso that they add tomaking more useful power.A second problem is you'dalso need a ton of oxygento carry around withyou to feed your engine.Say your fuel ratio is 14.7 to one,meaning that for every gram of gas burned,you need 14.7 grams of oxygen.You can do the math and it turns outyou'd need over 200 scuba bottlesof oxygen to carry around.Now, things would get a little easierif say we could use liquid oxygen,we could store a lot moreoxygen in liquid formand therefore not need as many bottles.Well, we'd run into another problemand that's oxygen can't be liquifiedabove a temperature ofminus 119 degrees Celsius.So the equipment needed andthe high cost to make itmakes this not a feasible option,but what if there wasa substance out therethat could be liquified fairly easy,that has an oxygen component to itand doesn't need a tonof complex equipmentto use in our engine?Well, welcome to theparty Mr. laughing gas,nitrous oxide just frickingwalked in the door.Now a common misconception isthat nitrous oxide is a fuel.It is not, it is an oxidizer.Nitrous oxides consist of an oxygen addedbonded to two nitrogen atoms.And at most temperatures and pressuresit's considered an inert gas,meaning it doesn't undergoany chemical reactions,but if you put it in a highheat, high pressure situation,the bonds holding the nitrogenand oxygen break apart.So at about 300 degrees Celsiusit gets split into threeoxygen and nitrogen molecules.Now let's say this split happensinside the combustion chamber.We now have a sudden increase in oxygenthat can aid in the combustion process.We get to now dumping more fuelto maintain our proper air fuel ratio.And it's the additional fuel being burntduring the combustion cyclethat allows the engine toproduce, hit it, hit it James.- Power baby!- Now there's also a secondbenefit when you use nitrous.When it's released from the bottle,it's going from a state ofhigh pressure to low pressureand it vaporizes and whenthat happens, it gets cold.It's so cold that it also coolsthe surrounding intake airand when you lower theintake air temperature,you increase the air's densityproviding even moreoxygen into the cylinder.So that's all theory and all,but what about the practical application?What's the hardware requiredto make this stuff useful?There are two types ofnitrous oxide system designs,there's wet and there's dry.A dry system onlyinjects nitrous oxide gasand relies on the car standard fuel systemto deliver more fuel.A wet system adds both nitrous and fuel.So let's see how Brian's dry set up works.On the rear of the car is abottle that stores the nitrousand coming off that bottleis a bit of plumbingthat routes to the engine baywhere it meets up with a solenoid.A solenoid is just anelectronically controlled valve.Open, close, open, close,that's all it does.Running from that solenoidis some more plumbingthat leads to the intake track upstreamfrom the throttle body,where it meets a fogger anda fogger is just a nozzle.It's a fitting with a hole in itthat allows the nitrousoxide to flow through it.When a switch that's connectedto that solenoid is activated,that's our magic button onthe steering wheel there,the solenoid opens andthe nitrous oxide flowsinto the intake flowingpass the throttle bodyinto the cylinders.So that's what we see in the movie,but we already know thatwe have to add more fuelinto the mix, that's howwe're gonna get our power.So how did they do this in the ageof simple fuel injection systems?Well, it's actually quite clever.Coming off your nitroussolenoid is another linethat goes to the top of thefuel pressure regulator.So by bleeding off a smallamount of nitrous pressurefrom the solenoid, itcreates a pressure increasethat feeds the factoryfuel pressure regulator.Imagine your fuel injectoris working around 50 PSIthen you turn on the nitrous,a little nitrous goes withthe fuel pressure regulatorand makes it go higher,say at around 100 PSI fuel pressurethrough our injectors.The more pressure pushes more fueling.And this method only workson fuel injected cars.For carborated systems, there'sno way to get extra fuelinto the motor.You could rig up a Smokey Yunick systemlike they did back in the dayby jetting your carbs super rich,or you could get with the times, grandpa,and use what's called a wet system.(slurping)Ah.Now there are a fewvariations of the wet system,but for now we're gonna talkabout the single wet fogger.Now it's called a wetsystem because the nitrousand fuel are mixed together.The fuel makes it wet.The nitrous side of thingsare the same as before,but there's also an additionalset of fuel solenoids.Now coming off your fuelline is a fuel solenoidthat when activated sendsadditional fuel into a foggerthat mixes with the nitrousand this fuel solenoidgets activated at the sametime as the nitrous solenoid.Now what's controlling the amount of fuelas well as the amount ofnitrous is the size of the jet.Now you may hear the term50 shot, 100 shot, 300 shot,that refers to the amountof horsepower gainedwhen using this type of setup.And the piece that dictateswhat horsepower figure you getare the fuel and nitrous jets.Now jet is just a piece with an orificethat is precisely measured inthe thousandths of an inch.The bigger the number,the bigger the orificeand the more fuel and nitrousthat can be squirted through it.And then that makes more power.That's the only thing iscontrolling more power,which is bigger holes.Now with either method,the way I just describedis a system that restson hitting a button,but in today's age, we have computersthat are much better at determiningwhen this system should be activated.So I wanted to see how currentday racers are using it.So I got to chat with Mr.Stephan Papadakis himselfon how he uses nitrous.Now one of the currentways of using nitrous oxidein small horsepower applicationsis to let your electronic fuelinjection system do the work.But this is having a lot offaith in your car's stock ECUand fuel management system,and if you're running a drysetup, you're risking a lot.If for whatever reason,your car stock fuel systemcan't match the requirements neededwith the added increase in oxygen,your air fuel mixture will run leanand then you're kind of screwed.So you can get around thisby using a wet fogger,which we talked about before,or by using a more advanced wet systemwith some aftermarket hardware and tuning.Papadakis uses what'scalled a direct port setup.This is where you have onenozzle per intake runnerwhich provides each cylinderwith its own supply.So if you have a six cylinder engine,you have six foggers that supplyeach cylinder individually.Now this can be in the wet varietywhere fuel and nitrous oxide are mixed,or it can be dry where youuse your existing fuel systemand that's how Papadakis uses it.So when you arm the nitrous oxide,his aftermarket ECU knowsthat the system is onand so instead of opening thefuel injector only X amount,it opens the injector Xplus a little bit extrabecause we now have more oxygenthanks to the nitrous.And because the injectoris open for a longer time,we get more fuel.Now with this method,you can do a lot of finetuning with your fuel delivery.Inside the ECU, they havea bunch of parameters set.Once the switch isflipped on in the cabin,the ECU knows that nitrousoxide is available.It then has a list ofcommands that follow.For example, the solenoids aren't activeuntil your engine reaches 3000 RPM.And let's say your red line is 8,000 RPMso to be safe, it'll only dumpnitrous up until 7,500 RPM.And this is just one example,but you can tune and createany type of profile you want,depending on your application.The system will alsoretard the ignition timeyou can say by a few degrees.By retarding the timing,the plug fires later inthe compression stroke,when the piston is closerto top dead center.That helps to reduce detonationbefore you want it to actually happen.Now, let's say an example,when you're running a turbo,we can have the nitrous turn onwhen there's some turbo lag.So say you're under 20 poundsof boost, the system turns on.Then once the boost builds upand you're back over 20pounds, it turns back off.So you only using nitrousin that small windowwhen your turbo is buildingup pressure to boost.And one of the greatthings about nitrous oxideis that you have aseparate tune on the carwhen the system is armed.So the EC knows that you havethe ability to use nitrous.So when you don't have it,it switches back to its normal stock stateand your business as usual.A little sneaky, that's whythey call it sneaky gas.(beep)(dramatic music)- Listen up,
