They have never tried to hook up a ZEX kit with heater, TPS, FPSS, Purge, window switch and trying to keep it clean. LOL. Nitrous is noting more than a chemical reaction that increasing the intake charge by making the air more cool and condensed. If nitrous is cheating then alcohol injection, and methanol injection for SC and turbos must be cheating too.

they will just tell you that nitrous is cheating because the increase in air comes from a bottle...
i've also heard the arguement that nitrous is cheating because anyone can hook it up and it takes no skill.

If you say nitrous is cheating then you have to include turbos and sc's too.

It's not cheating...do what it takes...
HOWEVER, if someone who uses nitrous will definetely see the drawbacks themselves so in a way it's cheating yourself...
Power all the time > power for 1 shot

spraying a 75 shot i have no problem getting 5 consistant runs and still have 1000+ PSI i nthe bottle
i have yet to see a single drawback. my rear end are still intact because of my window switch vs. having all power all the time.
and i run the same as a number of cam only cars while spending much less money

you think the bottle runs out in 1 shot?

RE: Is nitrous cheating?
why would a temporary burst be cheating? i mean seriously, there is absolutely positively NO logic in that argument. if thats the case, the WOT is cheating, because it doesnt happen all the time. we then need to afix all of our cars with lawnmower throttles to make everyone happy and make sure everybody is always running *ahem* "Rabbit speed!"......
Heres the deal, there is no reason for calling nitrous cheating. it has its pros and cons verses other power adders.
if you still arent convinced, one of two things is happening.
1) you have very little knowledge of how the internal combustion engine works, and this new fangled "hocus pocus" that is nitrous scares you in your old timely ways.
2) for you, nitrous has been tainted by the ever popular "Fast and the Furious", but in that case you are then just as impressionable and therefore just as bad as the spikey-headed crooked visor wearin kid in the 19 second accord (he wanted the civic, but this is close enough).
btw, this is a general rant, not directed at u RS

and actually, they have these sidekick bottles now that you fill with nitrogen called "Nanos". they are a smaller bottle, and you fill them to 4000psi. it feeds into the nitrous bottle and keeps the pressure in there at a constant 1000psi regardless of temp (unless it gets too hot). no more need for heaters, and no more power fall off as the bottle cools. the only limitation to the system, is that the gas will cool inside the bottle significantly if you run a decent sized shot for a full pass. when my bottle gets low (4ish lbs) and I do a full pass i will usually drop about 100 psi or so, sometimes 200, just because of the cooling effects of the gas. but that isnt a drawback anymore than turbo lag or parasitic loss, its an inherant limitation. but thats gone with these nano things
