Worst Nitrous Backfire I've Seen

[RedRocketMike]

Actually, give the camera guy some credit for getting most of it one film. What was the noise towards the end when the flames really kicked up?

Probably the nitrous/purge noid shorting out and hanging wide open or the main line rupturing.

So you have a nitrous car and no fire extinguisher.... Cool

First thing that came to my mind, back when I had my mr2 and wanted to run methanol injection, the very first thing I purchased was a fire extinguisher, better to be safe then sorry

And NOBODY own a fire extinguisher?

And whenever you have a nitrous fire. Turn off the power and then close the nitrous bottle valve.

If you are going to run anything like that have a fire extinguisher. I have one in each car.

Lol that reminds me of when a GT500 had a nitrous backfire down here in S. FL racing a turbo NSX....same thing everyone running up taking there shirts off trying to beat it out. At least with that one, someone was brave enough to reach in and knock the CAI intake off where the fire was starting to build.....and some people had water bottles instead of mountain dew...

I remember that run.

Feel bad for the guy. Would liked to have seen the aftermath.

Lets smack it with shirts, that will put it out! People are idiots. I'd assume someone running a setup like that would be smart enough to have a fire extinguisher with them.

destroyed cold air intake and a part of the blower, forgot which part

Dam! Someone post pictures, this video is bananas

 

[2000gt4.6]

So something that has about 2x the oxygen as air would put a fire out vs feed it more? :nonono:

+1, its a oxidizer, that's why the fire kicked up so bad. Nitrous doesn't put fires out lol.

 

[SciFiHiFi]

Where's that mountain dew

this one goes down with one tire being 1.5 psi lower
