there was a dude on the old hbf forum years ago who ran nitrous on his obr twin,
he was a speed run freak , he's called IETZR1S, he had a total meltdown of his twin once while using nitrous,
cant find pics of the aftermath of the meltdown though,
heres a vid of his car and his 108mph speed run though (y),

Need the fuel to go with the oxidizer..... or boom.

Agreed, it's not as simple as shooting the giggle gas into the carb. Not sure how you could do this you would need some type of momentary pressurized raw fuel feed and mod the cylinder side carb spacer for a spray nozzle. Is there some type of available pressurized port in the Walbro carbs ?
 
Could you machine something like a fogger plate for additional fuel? You’d still need pressurized fuel system to get proper atomization of it. Way beyond anything in my skill level!

sorry didn’t fully read Polar’s post, same idea
 
Oh never said it cant be done, just not the cheap, or even practical thing people like rb innovations would have you believe
Have to check with my old man, he dabbled with nitrous for a bit in his race boat, I'm 99% sure he had direct injection tube going into the crankcase for the nitrous and make up fuel. Will have to ask him

Right.....

Got to talk to my old man last night, by dumb luck I remembered to ask him, his set up was dine by a guy in Alabama named chucky Goodman. As I thought each cylinder had it's own "direct" nitrous and fuel feed, going into the crankcase, via tubes goodman installed. He said there was a jet and check valve built into a block on the side of the engine for each cylinder. Only set up he used that didnt make the engine run lean. He said it was tied into the injection system, when you hit WOT a second fuel pump would start and the nitrous would engage. He also said he had no idea how it worked so long as it worked and when he had issues Goodman would spend the night on the phone with him, till they figured the issue out. I vaguely remember the injection system, you had throttle steps instead of a nice sweep like we have now, think it was 7 or 10 positions from idle to WOT. Wasnt ideal but didnt matter on the boat, spent 90% of its life at WOT or idle, wasnt a lot of in between.

Nice one Sean.

The description for the system I showed you is a bit vague, but in the picture it looks like there is plate between the carb and head which the NoS and fuel connect to. The whole thing is ECU controlled.
