Indmar has not tested and cannot approve the use of aftermarket products like these. Improper installation and/or application of these type products can cause severe engine damage, which could void the warranty.

Yes. The most important aspect is not to overindulge. Choosing the correct kit for any given application is essential; a good rule of thumb to follow is never exceed 50% power increase to your current engine output.

First, lets look at how much power the turbo compressor is using. These figures came from a Cummins/Holset presentation at a TDR rally: Generally, 1/3 of the heat energy obtained from burning the fuel in the cylinder is transfered to the crankshaft in a diesel engine. Another 1/3 of heat energy is dumped into the cooling system, and the last 1/3 escapes through the engine exhaust.

None, with the exception of occasional nausea if a child has eaten a large meal shortly before their dental visit.

Nitrous is another built in feature of these controllers. Various nitrous controls and features allow you to program the amount of spark retard and fuel enrichment based on the amount of nitrous selected. Single and multi-stage ECM's are available with some systems up to 4 stages of nitrous. The other unique feature is that the option is available as wet or dry meaning that the nitrous solenoid can be installed into the intake and all of the additional fuel can be added through the injectors.

NX specializes in blower and turbo nitrous applications. Any NX plate style system combined with the NXd5000 controller is the ultimate set-up. The PN NXd5000 is a boost referenced progressive controller that senses boost and automatically ramps the nitrous charge out as the boost comes up. This controller can handle two stages of nitrous and can ramp in either a boost or time reference. This allows for a straight torque “curve” with no soft spots.

Both turbochargers and superchargers are called forced induction systems. They both compress the air flowing into the engine . The advantage of compressing the air is that it lets the engine stuff more air in a cylinder. More air means that more fuel can be stuffed in too. Therefore you get more power from each explosion in each cylinder. A turbo/supercharged engine produces more power overall than the same engine without the charging.

Answer: The e-Ram is a distant cousin of the full blown turbo or supercharging system which employs a centrifugal impeller that must run all the time. They have to produce matched engine airflow, with high-pressure air compression (4 to 15 PSI is normal). This requires a tremendous amount of HP to drive the device. For example the airflow needed for a 2.5-liter engine at 6000 RPM is 240 CFM. At only 6 PSI, you would need 10 to 15 HP just to create this type of supercharging.

A. Laughing gas diluted with oxygen creates what we call “happy gas.” More percentage oxygen is available during the procedure than from room air. Nitrous oxide seems to act as a mild reversible nerve poison. Considered the safest of the anesthetic gases, nitrous oxide is a pleasant distraction for most, creating skin and gum numbness, often making the dental shot unnecessary or painless if needed. At least two B vitamins are oxidized by nitrous oxide, folic acid and vitamin B12.

Not directly. Detonation is the result of too little fuel present during combustion (lean) or too low of on octane of fuel. Too much ignition advance also causes detonation. In general, most of our kits engineered for stock type engines will work well with premium type fuels and minimal decreases of ignition timing. In racing application where higher compression ratios are used, resulting in higher cylinder pressures, a higher fuel octane must be used as well as more ignition retard.

Yes, we offer nitrous oxide at no charge to help you relax during your dental treatment. Nitrous oxide is safe, non-addictive and does not linger after you leave the office. However, nitrous oxide cannot be used in pregnant women.

The most convenient and ultimately the cheapest option would be to purchase nitrous oxide in bulk by renting a large cylinder of nitrous oxide from one of the national gas manufacturers / suppliers (such as Nitrous Oxide Supplies, Energas or Linde Gas). This way you can store the cylinder in your garage and refill your small cylinder yourself.

Many people confuse nitrous oxide with nitro because the term nitro is often used to abbreviate nitrous oxide. However nitro was first used as an abbreviation for the fuel nitro methane. Nitro methane is a fuel used by top class Drag cars and is in no way similar or linked to nitrous oxide. In fact they couldn't be more different, as nitro methane is a flammable fuel, while nitrous oxide is a non-flammable oxidiser.

Nitrous oxide is made up of 2 molecules of nitrogen and one molecule of oxygen (36% oxygen by weight). During the combustion process, at about 570 degrees F, nitrous breaks down and releases oxygen. This extra oxygen creates additional power by enabling more fuel to be burned. Nitrogen acts to buffer the increased cylinder pressures helping to control the combustion process. Nitrous also has a tremendous "cooling" effect by reducing air intake charge temperatures by 55 to 85 degrees F.
