Nitrous with Hyperutechnic pistons

[Ron1]

Let me read you a qoute from "How to Install and Use Nitrous" by Joe Pettitt. He's been around for years, and writes books for the SA design series of books. This is why I said you better take it easy, and be careful every thing is correct.

The question: Should you use Hyperuetectic Pistons in your Nitrous Engine?

The answer: You do not want to use hyperuetectic pistons in a nitrous engine. They will take a lot of pressure, and you can stand a mountain on them, and they will not break under the weight, but the minute you ring them with the frequency that nitrous causes when it detonates, they shatter like glass. They break, they do not melt.

It also has to do with the way the rings are set up on the pistons and the land area between the rings and how they are each gapped. And the plugs that are used and what kind of electrodes to use, and why to stay away from platinum plugs.

Its a good book to have on your shelf, if you want to run the N2O.


Just FYI,
