Nitrous backfire

 

which means......

i caught that the first time, i just dont have any idea what it is, how it happens, and things like that

 

Typical nitrous applications (aka wet systems that are not direct port) use a setup that sprays both fuel and nitrous into the intake tract, usually before the throttle body.

What happens is that fuel pools in puddles in the intake, and then gets detonated in the intake instead of in the cylinders. This usually blows the intake apart on a stock (factory) manifold.

Sometimes you get lucky and all it does is throw some fire and blow your intake pipping off, but there is a video in the vids section someplace of a early model cobra spraying his shot too soon. At low RPM, there wasn't enough suction in the intake, the fuel puddled, and it literally blew his intake apart.

 

i'd stop and say.. WTF?

 

if it was a nitrous backfire, the real question is why was he sprayin on a NPI car

 

This is why nitrous scares me...one mistake and bye bye poor car...

 

you killed it, literally!

 

i would not have stoped. not my problem!

 

Poor Mach,
