Filed under automobiles

To understand how nitrous oxide injection impacts and engine, let’s examine how an engine works. An engine creates power by transferring energy created by fuel combustion. Combustion is a form of rapid oxidation, which requires oxygen as the name dictates. The amount of oxygen determines how much fuel can be burned, and the more fuel that is burned, the more power is created.

Nitrous Oxide is a chemical that is rich in Nitrogen and Oxygen. Injecting nitrous oxide increases the oxygen density of the intake air. Nitrogen is a cryogenic liquid with a very high vapor pressure. It must be kept at a minimum of 745 psi to remain a liquid at room temperature.

The Hidden Fees That Come With Owning a Car

Filed under automobiles

Owning a car is no walk in the park. There are many hidden fees that are associated with being the proud owner of a vehicle. For example, I didn’t know that the state of North Carolina charged you a separate vehicle tax when you owned a car. I found this out the hard way when I purchased my first vehicle there. When I bought the car at the dealership, the salesperson made no mention of the separate vehicle tax that I would later be charged by the state. Perhaps he assumed that I knew. Regardless, I don’t think that he would have been all that forthcoming with this information since he was trying to sell me a vehicle.
