A 2 stroke on NO2?

Does no one see the problem here?

That bike is obviously a two stroke (sound and smoke) and from what i know it would be next to impossible to run a two stroke on Nitrous Oxide.

Nitrous injection wouldn't have much effect coz 2 strokes are crankcase fed so the injection of the NO2 would not create any huge instantaneous boost of power like in an injected 4 stroke.

I don't think it could be running on straight nitrous because the 2 stroke (unless oil injected) will require the oil to be mixed with the petrol and i don't think that nitrous will mix with the oil that well because of the oxidised component of it.

However, i'm no expert in this stuff coz i haven't ever tried to do it. If someone can prove me wrong then please, go ahead. Look forward to reading some replies.

Cheers

Matty
