A properly set up and tuned kit will do no harm to your engine, providing you don't try to squeeze 250 extra horses out of an A12.
I put my kit together for a little over $600. (Including the bottle)
Hollywood has a lot to answer for with regards to the untold myths surrounding nitrous oxide. In reality, you wouldnt use it on the street. (well, not much anyway) And the duration of a shot would rarely exceeed 5-6 seconds. (Where are you going to be able to accelerate flat out for longer than that?
Some say why would you bother, I say whay wouldn't you bother? Some is good, more is better, and too much is just enough!

I would say that it is a touchy subject. I was lucky for a few years experimenting with it only because I built my own kit. This year I was not so lucky and threw a rod through the side of the block. I have decided to continue using it but I have a friend who deals with Cold Fusion Nitrous. He said that he would help me out and tune the motor so that I wouldn't wreck another one. No problems getting the Blower and the NOS to work at the same time. The NAPZ24 should pack a powerful punch when completed. I am most worried about weither my H190 rearend is going to hold up or not.

1000coupe - You have some relevant points... But I feel you could hardly call NOS 'cheating'.
It's a simple preference as is cubes, turbo, supercharging etc. What ever flicks your switch (No pun intended).

double your power for $1000
sounds cheap to me
BUT you had better be really good at tuning or you will have a sump full of piston
nitrous does not forgive tuning errors
you will need a killer ignition system too with retard

My brother has a rather serious L18 / 5 speed in his 1200 ute with 50Hp gas kit on it. - Quiet a fun drive.

Yes it is allowed in some kinds of racing, including drag racing. It is safe if used correctly.

Yes I understand , it is a mad think spending 1000 $ and drive it for few miles with boost ,is waste of money and also waste of your engine and also it might blow your car and yourself ,is it allowed to use NOS in races ? i don't understand why people are using it

Thanks

nitrous oxide is non flammable, it is an oxidiser. all it does is make an existing fire burn more intensly.

think of it this way sumith, its about the same price for small kits between 50hp to 150hp, about 1000$ aus, so a 50hp shot is bad economy, a 50hp shot will be basically doubling the power of an old a series with only u know how many miles on it, and might break something. Also if u dont have the suspension and brake upgrades to handle it u might crash and blow up your nos and yourself with it.

For the same $ u could do some nice performance and handling mods that arent cheating and need refilling after every race.
