Back to the Nitrous....... JAG RC is pretty shady lookin to me,no pics,one page site...Yeah,I wanna send em money
First thing I would wonder is will a glow plug burn Nitrous? I would have to guess that it will because you can blow nitrous through a lit cigarette and get a 2 inch white/blue flame from the tip.That is not open flame,plus the cumbustion of the nitro would help.Assuming it burns and gets along with the nitro,you could do it but it will surely run hotter so you'd have to control that some way...great thing about nitrous is when you uncompress it it gets really cold
Now for setting it up on a car,I know everyone is picturing a whipped cream charger as a tank and so am I...perfect size.You'd need to be able to puncture it and pressurize a line so youd need some bb gun parts for that.Then you'd need a ball vavle to control the flow with the throttle servo and make it proportional to the carb.If ya get that far all youd need to do is run the line to the air intake on your car,I'd make an intake tube and tap a barb fitting in the side but angled down with the air flow.This would force really cold,highly explosive nitrous in the engine and it might just work really well.
To answer your question, no. Nitrous does not burn. It expands the air molicules to make your mixture more lean.
