Abstract
A nozzle (7) for a nitrous oxide system for an internal combustion engine contains outlet (9), to produce a high velocity cylindrical stream of nitrous oxide (9′) expressed in a certain direction (29) and another outlet (11), located on the same side of the nozzle, such as a slot, to produce a thin fan shaped mist of fuel (11′) expressed in a second direction (31) from another location with the directions being inclined at an acute angle (&agr;) relative to one another, preferably forty-five degrees. The spray of fuel and stream of nitrous oxide collide at a location (D1, 18) displaced from the side of the nozzle, wherein the high velocity stream of nitrous oxide further atomizes the fuel and mixes therewith as injected into the intake of the engine.
