Nitrous Systems From obp Ltd

Hello again.

Obp ltd has a brand new product range we would like to inform you about.

We now do NITROUS SYSTEMS!!!

How does nitrous make power?
Nitrous Oxide systems additional gains for your car are achieved by injecting a measured amount of nitrous oxide into the engines combustion chambers. You can add nitrous oxide either by the cars air intake or by the branch manifold (direct port). Nitrous oxide is sprayed into the engine with an additional supply of fuel either by an additional nozzle supplied with the nitrous systems or by the cars current fuel injectors. When we want to create more power we need to burn more fuel, to burn more fuel we need more oxygen. Nitrous oxide is 2 parts oxygen which allows us to burn all this extra fuel for more power. Nitrous oxide is also made up of 1 part nitrogen. This helps maintain safe temperature levels when combusting all of this extra fuel and air and is the reason we do not inject raw oxygen by itself.

How do Nitrous Oxide kits work?
Starting at the boot you have a bottle of nitrous oxide mounted on a bracket that holds the bottle at an angle of where the nitrous will be able to be used most efficiently ensuring all the nitrous oxide gets used and there is no waste. From here we have a aircraft quality stainless steel braided hose running from the bottle to the cars engine bay where it connect to a nitrous solenoid valve. The valve is electronically operated and wired to a micro switch placed on the throttle lever and an activation switch mounted on the dashboard. When the system is activated by the driver and the foot is pressed to the floor the nitrous oxide solenoid will open the valve and allow a spray of nitrous oxide to enter the cars engine. The cars engine must also be provided extra fuel to burn to create the extra power. This is usually injected along side the nitrous oxide using the same method but with a fuel solenoid that is fed from the cars current fuel supply line. This type of system is called a “Wet” system because spraying extra fuel along with the nitrous oxide. A “Dry” system does not use a fuel solenoid as extra fuel is added via the cars own injectors.

The amount of power you can gain from nitrous oxide is unlimited, gains from 10 up to 250 bhp can be obtained from one of our single basic systems and can be upgraded to exceed this power time and time again. To adjust the power of your nitrous oxide system all you need to do is change the jets located in the solenoids. This is a very simple task and very inexpensive.
