Note, the following information answers some of the more commonly asked questions on nitrous oxide; for precise details relating to your specific application please contact the manufacturer - OZRACE PRODUCTS. Contact details are available throughout this web site.How it works?
When fitted to the vehicle as per the instructions, the kit is activated when, and only when, the toggle switch and bottle are on and the driver is at full throttle. When you back off the throttle, the nitrous is automatically switched off. Horsepower is created by burning fuel in the correct mixture with oxygen, thus with the addition of both Nitrous Oxide and fuel to the mix, the oxygen in the Nitrous Oxide gas is effectively allowing the burning of the extra fuel you are adding and thus generating more horsepower than usual.Return to top of Screen
OZRACE PRODUCTS manufacture kits for a wide range of applications and can provide kits suitable for a wide range of vehicles including motorbikes, rotary engines, LPG or even alcohol and fuel injected engines - if it has a spark plug in it, you can put nitrous on it!. Kits are availiable in either under carb plate systems or custom built direct port systems. Kits available from 25 to 800 horsepower.Return to top of Screen
As we have proven over the last twelve months. The OZRACE Camaro has run successfully and consistent with an OZNOS Progressive kit on our 555 cubic inch motor running a Ron's Terminator methanol injection system. We have run it with all combinations, all methanol, methanol and hydrocarbon fuel (the results can be seen in the "Outstanding Performer" page). The advantages of running the motor on methanol are: it is far more economical with methanol at less that a dollar a litre compare to those exotic fuels at around seven dollars a litre and your motor runs a lot cooler and you will also be ready for the next round of racing without having an overheating problem. We have found that the money we will save on fuel, will pay for the Ron's System in about two years of racing.Return to top of Screen
Nitrous Gas will last 10 seconds per lb of gas per 100 HP, your local BOC agency will rent you the bottle and exchange for refills. BOC offers a 10% discount on Nitrous Gas refills, exclusive to OZNOS customers.Return to top of Screen
OZRACE PRODUCTS is the factory appointed Australian Distributor for Ron's Racing Products.

They come with everything, from the fuel filter to the shut off cable, you just need to add the fuel lines.Return to top of Screen
OZNOS kits are all designed to be used on standard motors and then, with specific modifications, allow more horsepower to be added. As long as you follow the instructions, provide an ample fuel supply and stay within your motors rev-range there will be no adverse effects on your engine. Remember the three OZNOS Rules: 1. Do not over horsepower your engine. HORSEPOWER RECOMENDATIONS: Motor: 4 cylinder 6 cylinder V8 Cast Pistons: Up to 50HP. Up to 100HP. Up to 150HP Forged Pistons: up to 100HP. Up to 150HP. Call for details Hypereutectics Pistons are not recommeded, as they are brittle. 2. Do not over rev your engine. It is better to short shift, this will actually give you a quicket ET. 3. Do not run the engine lean. Leaning an engine down to gain more horsepower is questionable as a lean mixture will burn parts. Read your spark plugs, if they show a little colour then you should be OK, if the porcelain is all white after a run then you are on the verge of burning parts. Better to go to the next higher horsepower setting to gain the extra power, rather than hurting something. The use of a Nitrous Filter is optional but higly recommended to prevent any damage to the solenoid seat via foreign matter (such damage is not covered under warranty).Return to top of Screen
In Queensland and Western Australia it is illegal to fit a Nitrous Kit to a registered street vehicle, we are still negiotiating with these states. In all the other states the law states: "a road registered vehicle fitted with nitrous oxide must have the system modified so that the bottle is properly secured in the brackets provided and isolated from the engine (disconnect the main braided line from the bottle), and the supply line to the engine is physically blocked off with an approved A-1 Performance disarming kit (a disarming kit is included in every OZNOS Kit, so that the joiner tubes from the solenoids to the injection point may be removed) whilst the vehicle is being street driven."Return to top of Screen
OZNOS Nitrous Oxide Systems are the cheapest horsepower per dollar you can buy. Once fitted the nitrous is used only when you want it to be, thus you are not burning extra fuel unnecessarily. The car not only races at the drags on the weekend but goes to and from work in an economical manner during the week.Return to top of Screen
