Nitrous Oxide

Any one have experience with using nitrous in a Z4M or a S54 Engine.


I found a kit sitting around in my garage and thinking of installing it just to hold me over till. Some forced induction kits get released. YAY? or NAY?

Nitrous doesn't come from "rice" cars ... it has been used in real race cars (American Musclecars) for years.

That said, after experimenting with it on my 350z (read: the good) and watching my friend blow his intake manifold into bits on the dyno (read: the bad) ... I stay away from the spray these days. I'd assume the S54 to be even more temperamental to mods like that than the Nissan VQ is.

Ricer and I are friends (from Irvine) - i've just seen people give sly remarks to him re: "Ricey" things - or whatever they define that as. I guess that was my poor attempt at humor.

talk to B0ki on E46fanatics.com He has some crazy setup and a few guys on the board are running with no issues. Check it out.
From what I read. As long as you are smart with it, it will do no harm to the motor.

I went to E46fantatics.com and looked up B0ki. He's got some really nice videos, that inspired me to go ahead with the nitrous. Thanks Artz =)

a local guy has nitrous in his m3 and hes pumping like 450hp. pretty cool but to me nitrous is way to "fast and the furious"
