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.

Maybe he used nitrous mixed fuel for RC cars, I've considered doing it but hardly step into hobby shops since I was younger.
