Nitrous Wet System

The nitrous oxide (N2O) wet injection system is designed to enhance engine performance by delivering a mixture of nitrous oxide and fuel directly into the intake manifold. This system provides a significant increase in horsepower and torque by enabling the combustion process to burn more fuel and oxygen. Unlike dry systems, which add only nitrous oxide, wet systems ensure the engine receives an adequate fuel supply to avoid damage from running too lean.
Key Features:
- Enhanced power output through a balanced fuel and nitrous mixture.
- Increased throttle response and acceleration.
- Improved cooling of intake air for better combustion efficiency.
Advantages:
- Better fuel distribution across all cylinders.
- Reduced risk of engine knock due to the controlled mixture.
- Improved control over power delivery and engine safety.
"The wet nitrous system offers superior reliability when used correctly, as the added fuel prevents detonation and maintains optimal engine temperature."
The system works by incorporating a nozzle, fuel solenoid, and nitrous solenoid to precisely control the delivery of both gases. Below is a table summarizing the components involved:
Component | Function |
---|---|
Fuel Solenoid | Regulates fuel flow into the intake manifold. |
Nitrous Solenoid | Controls the release of nitrous oxide into the intake manifold. |
Injection Nozzle | Sprays a mixture of fuel and nitrous oxide into the intake air stream. |
