ok if we take a funnel and hose from the seat of our scoots and put the other end of the hose in the air filter would we get a boost in power when gas is past  Hey, that's my turbo charger!!! ;D Attachments:

I think this came from F1 racing. 200mph straights and fast cornering, 5g loads etc, these guys fight over 1/100th of a second and pay millions for each fraction of a second so everything matters to them. As stated the logic is that the pressure doesn't change with temperature. Why is this important? For a normal road car, correct pressure means optimal grip and fuel consumption. In a race car its all about the mechanical grip. The difference is how hot the tyres run, those boys keep their tyres in warmers at around 80degC and run about 20 degC hotter on track. A road cars tyres shouldn't run anywhere near that hot nor be as susceptible to increasing or decreasing temperature. A race car wants as much grip as possible as soon as it leaves the grid or pits, Nitrogen allows them to have more of a predictable level of grip at all times and stops them loosing grip if for some reason the temperature drops (say due to a brief rain or the sun hiding for a while) or rises (a heavy fuel load at the start of a run or just hotter as the day progresses). I don't have any personal issue with Nitrogen in tyres, it's not a contentious issue like putting hamster wizz in your fuel, it's a cost benefit issue. In a car where they have a 200million budget and need every last 1000th of a second its worth a shot, in a standard road car the benefits are microscopic unless you drive like you stole it on tyres that are rated for lower speeds. I can see a potential argument more for using it in heavily loaded trucks, coaches etc. If the cost is minor then sure try it. If they want more than a few bucks I'd not do it personally but I wouldn't criticise anyone else for doing it. If they want more than 10 bucks for 4 tyres I might suggest it was frivolous but its your call  Once you take the marketing BS out of it, there is some benefit but that benefit is very very very small. |

Fart jokes and real science.... I love this forum!!!!! Thanks for the info Mauiboy. That makes perfect sense. Another way to milk a few extra bucks Like "Launch Control" (BMW/ Mercedes)Useless if not Drag racing IMO...... still wont work in wet / rainy conditions.....Still, I wanna try Nitrogen out next time I replace my Tires. Cage and scoot. Thanks for the fun and info guys!!!! I live in Vegas so my $200 million budget went to the nickle slots.......To bad the Penny slots are obsolete I thank you again for the real science and fart jokes guys. It's not worth the trip without having fun on the adventure........... |

No worries, have they quoted a price for doing it?
