Not entirely correct, Like they said above N2O is not flammable but merely an oxygen carrier. The more N2O you add the more fuel you must add. If your ratio stays correct there will be no problems. The problem starts when you become to greedy and don`t feed the proper octane fuel like (C16).
The more Nos you pump the more you will need to retard the timing.
You eventually will also require colder plugs.
NOS is GREAT!!!! Its definitely throttle in a bottle:thumbs:

If the ECU software can adapted from idle until turbo boost kicks in,,,,with the corresponding amount of fuel when using the NOS kit.
My tractor will be a serious ass kicker...
Rolf,,,Andy ur ideas?

I don't want to sound negative, but I wouldn't stuff around with this unless you have a manual gearbox on that diesel of yours...I don't care if its an E90 bla bla bla stronger gearbox bla bla bla. these cars have such low mileage that the gearbox is still ok for a while. but it will break cause auto is a big pile of shit about to go wrong when you do engine and turbo mods, when it does u will pay big time or you will be stranded somewhere with your family in the car in the middle of no where and chances are your cellphone battery will be on its last legs.
Some guys are modifying the shit out of their e90 diesels and then pushing the brakes while planting the accelerator to get a nice quick pull off, because apparently the gearbox can handle it....ya its still new. give it some time and it will break.
If I were you I would look into other mods like bigger intercooler, down pipe etc. not something that is going to give you a sudden imense amount of power that is going to shock your gearbox into going nuclear on you!

How should the ECU "know" you are using NOS?
Diesels are much more serious to handle with NOS than N/A cars
Firstly the compression ratio of 15:1 and more
Secondly your Turbo Boost
Thirdly your intake temperature
*ggg* what a headache
You can start testing with "mild" NOS action and report your findings :thumbs:
Please do not go quiet when you've got holes in your pistons :nonono:

If you modify anything beyond its designed purpose/limits it will fail...with the e46 and the e39 diesels the gearbox is already at the limits of its designed ratings and tweaking the motor for more power will end in misery... However not every auto box is shit... How are the highly tuned x35s handling the power being put down in auto and dct specs, and those monsters are putting the same amount if not more torque as the diesels and are driven harder per km cos everyone wants to race them...
To the OP, if the budget allows, try a gas kit... But in moderation...

The x35s autoboxes are also breaking. Like I said these cars are new in comparison to the e46's so they just need time to break.
My buddy has a x35 and put software and drove it like and idiot, pressing breaks and pushing accelerator to get a hard launch and the gearbox popped too! Its all a matter of time.
Im not saying the OP shouldn't do it, its his choice, I'm just saying I wouldn't do this if its an auto because they do break and when they do its messy.

Well actually any car driven like mad all the time, will go bang at some time. It can be new, newish, oldish or old. modded or stock. Abuse a car, and you will soon need to pay for it.
Some non abused cars, will get old and break, cause its a mechanical thing.
:fencelook:
LOL....thats not really gonna happen. I Say do the NOS. Many will say dont because its an engeine breaker...:blab: but few have actually seen a diesel break because of nos.With a properly installed, managed system, you'll be ok. It will be different for sure mut may just be worth while :thumbs::thumbs:

So how much torque can the ZF Auto boxes handle? I've heard of torque converters being installed when they start pushing high torque?
lets look at this logically... only real reason to use N2O with a turbo is to make more torque where the turbo cant keep up...
eg if you have a huge turbo that hits hard in the high RPM you can use the N2O to boost the low RPM...
Diesels makes good low RPM Torque because of the nature of the fuel... im not sure adding N2O can boost the high RPM torque because I think the burn rate of Diesel is what stops it from producing high RPM torque...
If im wrong and the turbo cant boost enough for High RPM then there would be a point in adding N2O where the turbo cant keep up this way you could lift the torque curve where it is low and still stay under the Nm the gearbox can handle...
