QuoteNOx is under pressure but the fuel doesn't have to be.....

Actually the fuel must be under pressure. When you hit the button on your nitrous system, it activates two solenoids, one for the nitrous and one for the fuel, the nitrous is obviously under pressure and rushes in, but the fuel must have some pressure otherwise it would just trickle out of the nozzle.

Most nitrous kits for carburated bikes come with a fuel pump. wet systems for cars oftentimes state that your fuel pump must be able to maintain a certain pressure or you need a bigger one or a second one. If you don't get enough gas with the nitrous, bad things happen.


Of course, you can always huff it, then you don't need a pump 

My ZXR400 has a fuel pump and is carbureted and no the carbs arn't higher than the fuel tank lol 

it should have a pump, in my opinion.  makes carb design much simpler.

but it makes the bike design more complicated.

Unless there's a problem, keep it simple. Less parts=less parts to break=less things to troubleshoot when your bike stops working.

It has the greatest pump in the world man. it always works and never used any electricity. 
Cool.

i dunno, my old Mercedes 280 had a pretty genius diaphragm pump.  a lobe on the camshaft would push the diaphram in and out, causing the fuel to flow.  a check valve and float needle kept the fuel level in the bowl the same.  under full accel, the fuel would divert around the bowl and directly into a second sec of jets that were opened via a vacuum line.  and when the engine was cold, t-stat connected to the coolant hoses would adjust another vacuum line to add fuel until things warmed up and RPMs stabiized.  it was really a nice little system.

 
After all this time you're still posting on my simple question?
