Abstract

Implementations are disclosed herein that relate to a nitrous oxide (NOS) injection system. An example provides an engine control unit (ECU) comprising a logic machine and a storage machine holding instructions executable by the logic machine to selectively enable NOS injection from a NOS reservoir into an engine based on engine temperature, operational transmission gear ratio, barometric pressure, NOS reservoir pressure, engine speed, and intake throttle position.
