WHAT IS NITROUS OXIDE?

Nitrous Oxide is a cryogenic gas composed of nitrogen and oxygen molecules. It is stored as a “gas over liquid”, which means that both liquid and gaseous nitrous oxide is delivered into your engine. It is 36% oxygen by weight, which is what produces the added horsepower. By injecting more oxygen and fuel, we create the additional power much like a supercharger or a turbocharger does.

Nitrous Oxide is considered an “oxidizer”, not a fuel, and is non-flammable by itself. Because nitrous oxide is a cryogenic, the same safety methods in handling dry ice apply to nitrous. Direct skin contact will cause a burn similar to contact with dry ice. The exception in using nitrous oxide comes from increased breathing hazards associated with the gaseous properties of nitrous oxide.

Nitrous Oxide is offered for sale in two common grades, which are U.S.P. and

Nytrous Plus

. U.S.P. nitrous oxide is medical grade nitrous oxide. Its common use is dental and veterinary anesthesia as well as used as a propellant in food such as canned whip cream. U.S.P. is not available to the public and would provide no horsepower advantage over automotive grade nitrous oxide.

Nytrous Plus

was specifically designed for automotive use and differs from U.S.P. in that it contains trace amounts of sulfur dioxide (100 parts per million or “PPM”) added to prevent substance abuse. The sulfur dioxide is an irritant to your breathing passageways and will cause sore throats and sore nasal passages if inhaled.

Nytrous Plus

was specifically created for automotive applications and is available

for sale at many speed shops across the USA.

SAFETY STEPS FOR WORKING WITH NITROUS OXIDE

1. Never inhale

Nytrous Plus

as continued exposure can cause death. Keep your exposure to nitrous oxide minimal.

2. Do not vent nitrous oxide to atmosphere in confined spaces. Only vent nitrous oxide in well-ventilated and open areas.

3. Nitrous oxide can cause burns so protect all skin in and around your hands, arms and face. Wear safety glasses and gloves.

4. Do not use any form of Teflon Tape as sealant on fitting connections. Use only Teflon Paste.

5. When washing components, ensure the clean components are completely dry, free of oils, and solvents. Failure to remove all liquids

could cause component or system failure.

6. Always turn the bottle off before making any repairs to the nitrous delivery system.

1.0 Introduction to your Edelbrock 2005-2007 Mustang GT Nitrous System

1.1 General Information

The Edelbrock Performer Nitrous System (Part Number 70410) is designed for the stock to slightly modified 2005 to 2007 Mustang GT. Horsepower and torque increases can vary with equipment upgrades and modifications.

The system a plate that is installed in between the throttle body and intake manifold. Both nitrous and fuel are delivered through this nitrous plate.

This system includes the bottle (shipped empty), bottle feed line and bottle brackets. The mounting brackets include rubber insulators to protect the surface of your nitrous bottle while mounted in the brackets. When installing your nitrous bottle, pay close attention to the installation instructions for the location of your bottle. Make sure that the installation of your bottle does not interfere with any systems that may lie under the location where you plan to drill holes for mounting the brackets.

Contact your local automotive store, motorcycle shop or race track for refilling your bottle. Trust a professional to properly fill your bottle and reference your installation manual when re-installing your filled bottle back into your vehicle. Always take care when handling a full bottle of nitrous oxide.

Please follow all safety methods during the installation of your Edelbrock Nitrous System, and follow all vehicle regulations and road laws when using your nitrous system.

1.2 Jet Map Information

Edelbrock Engineering has conducted dyno testing with the Edelbrock Mustang GT Nitrous System to ensure the horsepower increase is as intended. On a typically stock 4.6L engine, you can expect the following approximate horsepower and torque gains:

These tests were conducted with 950psi nitrous bottle pressure. Never exceed the recommended jetting!

Excessive jetting will result in severe engine damage.

1.3 Engine Operation Considerations

When used correctly, nitrous oxide safely elevates cylinder pressures and temperatures while increasing combustion rate. These characteristics make the engine more sensitive to detonation. To ensure proper performance, engine and drive line life, the following tips are suggested:

•Fuel Quality

Because Nitrous oxide is an oxidizer, fuel selection is critical. Both octane and fuel consistency affect fuel burn rate. The oxidizer quality of nitrous oxide will accelerate the burn rate, so we recommend a high quality of gasoline. We also recommend you use the same grade of gasoline every time you use your nitrous oxide system. This will help maintain the same fuel burn rate every time.

•Ignition Components

Most aftermarket performance chips increase the vehicle’s ignition timing, which can cause detonation with the use of nitrous oxide. Please consult with your chip manufacturer on information regarding the compatibility of your chip with nitrous oxide use.

If your vehicle is equipped with platinum type spark plugs, we recommend they be replaced with the equivalent standard spark plug.

•Engine System Upgrades

With all performance modifications, complementary system upgrades will always serve to elevate the power of an engine, especially when using nitrous oxide as a power adder. Modifications such as ignition upgrades, free-flowing exhaust, camshafts, cylinder heads, manifolds can all add to the performance of a nitrous oxide injected engine.
