When you want more power for your car you have a variety of ways of accomplishing this. If you have seen the movie "The Fast and the Furious", you saw one way. It was called NOS or Nitrous Oxide. The chemical formula is N2O, or two atoms of Nitrogen and one atom of Oxygen.

Inside your car engine there is a mixture of air and fuel which burns very rapidly and creates power. It's the oxygen in the air that allows the fuel to burn. If you can put more oxygen, and a corresponding amount of fuel, in the engine you get more power. And this can be a 50% increase in horsepower. The NOS system supplies both more oxygen, and allows more fuel.

Why choose this approach versus something like a supercharger or turbocharger? The key reason is that it's relatively cheap compared to those approaches. A NOS system consists of a bottle or tank of compressed NOS, in a liquid form, a NOS solenoid, a fuel solenoid, a toggle switch, some tubing along with a typically nylon pipe, a distribution block, a fogger, some jets, and a second switch for the throttle position.

Another key advantage is that once the system has been installed and used, it can still be removed and reinstalled on another vehicle. You can't really do that very easily with a supercharger or turbocharger.

How does all of this equipment now work? First you mount the NOS tank usually in the trunk, at a 15degree angle so that all of the NOS will flow correctly. You use some high pressure nylon or steel braided tubing to connect the NOS tank to a solenoid near the engine. You have fuel running through another line going to the fuel solenoid. Both solenoids will be triggered by electric switches. It is important to trigger both the NOS flow and the fuel flow at the same time, so the same ratio is maintained. Both of the solenoids are connected with more high pressure nylon or sometimes with a Teflon internal lined braided steel pipe to a nitrous injector by the intake manifold. The nitrous injector has a couple of small jets, one for the fuel and the other for the nitrous. One of the two switches is used by the driver to turn on the two solenoids. However, nitrous should only be used on an engine that is going wide open, as introducing this extra power on a partially wide open engine could damage it. So the second switch is a micro switch that is mounted on the accelerator linkage and can be triggered only at full throttle. This is the basic system.

However there are a couple of extra parts that are sometimes used. One can be an oil pressure switch which will not trigger until it senses that there is oil pressure which indicates that the engine is indeed running. You don't want an accidental discharge when the engine is off. We mentioned that the nitrous and fuel mixture must be in a constant ratio. Sometimes you would need an electric fuel pump and fuel regulator to insure that the correct amount of fuel is being delivered.

Oil Filter Crushers

Recycling waste products is now seen as being one of the most important factors for any business, and an auto workshop is no different from the norm. With both environmental benefits in the form of a reduction in the amount of raw materials required by industry, and a financial benefit in reducing the cost of disposing of hazardous waste, recycling is an important consideration for any business, and one of the most straightforward opportunities in a workshop is an oil filter crusher, which can prepare these otherwise bulky items for scrap metal recycling, as well as removing the waste oil for proper disposal.

With most regular engine oil filters, a complex series of one way valves is used to control the flow of oil through the filter. This prevents the sludge that build up over time flowing back out of the trap and then contaminating the rest of the oil supply in a car. Because old filters still contain all the sludge and waste oil, they must be disposed of by a specialist handler, with a large cost.

By putting the filter through an oil filter crusher, all of the remaining waste inside it is forced out as the filter is compressed. All that is left is the metal that made up the unit, which can be recycled simply and does not require any special handling. The remaining oil is collected in a drum for easy disposal in line with the EPA regulations. The cost of this method is obviously much lower, so over time the initial investment in an oil filter crusher for a workshop will pay off enormously.

Oil filter crushers work using a heavy duty piston that presses down on the used filter, splitting it apart, and flattening it completely. The piston can be either gas powered using the compressed air system in your workshop, or if this is not available, electrically powered models are also available. The operation of the units is simplicity itself. Once the waste filter has been loaded into the hopper all that is required is a single button press, and then the machine will run through its program, leaving the filter ready for recycling and the waste oil in a drum.

With a high quality model such as the Crushmaster 1, the air powered ram compresses the old filters with around 13,000 lbs of force. This means that it can handle up to 4 waste filters at a time, and operate reliably. Thanks to the excellent build quality of the product, it requires very little ongoing maintenance, and should work normally for years.

The even more powerful Crushmaster 2, which has a higher capacity than its sibling, and as one of the most powerful oil filter crushers on the market, can call on a 4 HP electric motor that will deliver around 37,500 lb of force - more than enough to handle even large truck oil filters.

These two high quality crushers are available with a convenient stand that has been designed especially to handle them and make their use additionally safe and convenient.

NOS OEM PF-25 Oil Filter?

Will judges of the stock class, for example at the Camaro Nationals, deduct points if I have a reproduction PF-25 on my '69 Camaro 350 instead of an original? They look identical.

they wont look that far but just in case.........spray paint it black
