Nitrous Express Diesel Frequently Asked Questions

Main diesel page.

Nitrous Express Diesel Nitrous Systems

Q. Can you use nitrous on a diesel engine?

A. Of course, diesels love nitrous and are the only application that nitrous can actually make the engine safer to operate.

Q. What is the worst case damage scenario dealing with nitrous and a diesel engine?

A. When using nitrous on a compression combustion engine the absolute worst case scenario is that the intake charge is cooled so much that the engine loses fire and has to be restarted, that’s it! You don’t even have to wait to restart it, just hit the key and go.

Q. How much nitrous can you use on a stock diesel engine?

A. Of course the amount varies with the application, the larger the engine the more nitrous you can use. However on most pick-ups and small truck applications up to 150 HP can be gained safely.

Q. What about torque?

A. The amount of torque produced when nitrous is applied is huge, it is possible to produce up to 1600 pound feet of torque on a street driven truck!

Q. Why does nitrous work on a diesel?

A. Nitrous provides additional oxygen to burn more fuel, much like a larger turbo. However it has one move valuable feature, it is extremely cold, thus providing a tremendous amount of intercooling. Nitrous is 127 degrees below zero when it is injected into the intake.

Would you need to uprate the engine internals? And the clutch?

Unless you've got very deep pockets you'll only be able to use it once in a blue moon, so it's not going to provide a permanent +50 bhp like a hybrid turbo and a map would do.

doesnt devon utopia have it on his fabia?, tbh nitrous isnt ideal and most insurers wont touch you with it. look into other options first and keep NOS for a last option when youve spent 10k already on the car.
