Ricers make me cry. I <3 these idiots, as they bankroll the automotive OEM and aftermarket parts houses by tearing shit up constantly and having to replace components designed to last 200,000 miles.

Some people are just IDIOTS

Moonduck

In a Corsica? In the cam cover?!? I'm dyin' here!

herostar

that's too funny, I know a kid who put the nozzle in wrong so it made a big "puddle" in the intake manifold, basically the intake blew to pieces

Haha thats classic, thanks for posting the link. Dumb ricers.

ROFL....that is the funniest ricer story i have heard in a long time....

but i thought a corsica was a chevy

that was funny as chit

Well in the guys defense he did buy the kit off ebay so there's a good chance he didn't get any instructions.

Still it shows vast ignorance on how an ICE engine works.

Even if it had have worked a NOS kit in a Corsica is still funny. Someone should have told them that NOS is super fuel and it goes into the fuel line and the car doesnt need gas.

That wouldn't have just been funny, it would have been legendary.

That is hilarious.

This makes me ashamed to drive a Corsica, knowing there are racer wannabes that do dumb stuff like this to their cars.

big_bubba

I was expecting to hear that they put it into the exhaust manifold instead lol

Damn that's funny

Munku

Why do none of these links work for me?

JusticeForPhat

My friends business concept works off this very principle. You can jack up prices on car "performance" parts because people are idiots.

Rofl, that was just stupid of them.

What the hell is up with the term "ricers"??? Ok, so I drive an Acura Integra and am constantly working on it, does not make me "rice" And 2 stupid kids playing with NOS in a Chevy Corsica aren't "ricers" either. Ricers are the guys in the primer colored Civics with unpainted body kits and gigantic mufflers that don't muffle a damn thing and tons of stickers for shit that isn't installed on their cars.

People with BMW's that are hooked up aren't called "Krauts" are they? Some people don't have tens of thousands of bucks to do fantastic shit to their cars, so they do what they like to the car and they are happy with that. Leave it alone.

I'm done ranting. but those kids sure were dumb!

I suppose I shouldn't be in this forum, since I do not know much about cars, but the story was pretty funny, even though I don't fully understand it. Can someone explain is laymans terms what they did?

saleenobsessed

..one word..RICERS

tuffrr

That's just scary, if they plumbed it in there, they could have put it anywhere. I think they did well to get it in the general vicinity of the motor!

Ahaha that was a good read. Surely they would think about it a bit more before doing that? Oh well...

NOS in a corsica?

Oh that just made my day


THANK YOU!

Don't they have a school or a least a class to teach idoits how not to do such things?!

ok, what the hell, I'll take a shot at it.

very simply put, a NOS (nitrous oxide) system, when properly installed, injects nitrous oxide into the air-fuel charge prior to it entering the combustion chambers in an engine. this produces a short-term increase of power output.

the technical reasons for how and why it works (from howstuffworks.com):

"...sodium chlorate acts as a way to store oxygen. You release the oxygen in sodium chlorate by heating it. It turns out that nitrous oxide (N20) works exactly the same way. When you heat nitrous oxide to about 570 degrees F (~300 C), it splits into oxygen and nitrogen. So the injection of nitrous oxide into an engine means that more oxygen is available during combustion. Because you have more oxygen, you can also inject more fuel, allowing the same engine to produce more power. Nitrous oxide is one of the simplest ways to provide a significant horsepower boost to any gasoline engine.

Nitrous oxide has another effect that improves performance even more. When it vaporizes, nitrous oxide provides a significant cooling effect on the intake air. When you reduce the intake air temperature, you increase the air's density, and this provides even more oxygen inside the cylinder.

The only problem with nitrous oxide is that it is fairly bulky, and the engine needs a lot of it. Like any gas, it takes up a fair amount of space even when compressed into a liquid. A 5-liter engine running at 4,000 rotations per minute (rpm) consumes about 10,000 liters of air every minute (compared to about 0.2 liters of gasoline), so it would take a tremendous amount of nitrous oxide to run a car continuously. Therefore, a car normally carries only a few minutes of nitrous oxide, and the driver uses it very selectively by pushing a button."


ok, if you understood all that, now we get to the good part. instead of setting up the NOS system properly, so that the N2O charge would go into the air-fuel intake, so it could then enter the combustion chambers of the Corsica in question, they morons instead set it up so that it was being injected onto the intake camshaft. the intake cam controls the openning and closing of the intake valves. but it does not directly function as part of the plumbing that carries the air-fuel charge into the combustion chambers.

here is an analogy that might make it clear. if you scuba dive, you need a source of air so that you can continue to breathe while underwater. what these fools did was like scuba diving with the hose from the airtank stuck anywhere but in the mouth, where it needs to go so the air can get to your lungs.

follow?
