How to use the nitrous effectively?

[Plitt]

What is the best setup to use the (adjustable) Nitrous?
So far whenever I try it the engine just blows up unless I use a very low kilowatt setting on the nitrous like below 100 on most cars.
Is there a way to disable the engine damage completly? As a "just for fun" option when you don't want the game to be realistic

Incase a dev is reading this I greatly enjoy this update, mostly the new map

In some cars it's better to not full throttle, because as you said engine can blow up, don't really know how much effectively can use NOS but in car tuning you can set NOS activation to gear and RPM

*I'm still trying to figure out how to set NOS to Manual injection, not Automatic

[Diamondback]

The key is to not add too much additional torque, the later in the RPM range the injection starts, the less torque needs to be added to create a given amount of power. So, if you want lots of additional power, don't start injecting too early.
Of course, you can't expect to add unlimited amounts of power to any engine.

So far when I tried it it only sprayed NOS when you do full throttle (the icon goes from green to blue)

I'm having problems with that, too.

Can't disable the damage.
And that's not a bug, it depends on the engine and your shot size.
Going 'too much' with the shot size would make it blowing up an engine a matter of seconds.

The thing that bothers me is, and keep in mind I haven't had time to thoroughly go through, but as far as I can tell, theres no engines in the game capable of using anywheres near the maximum shot size

Look for factory models that use the same engine base used by their crazy hillclimb variants; those engines are most likely to withstand drastic increases in power without blowing up too easily.

Edit: Note that some of these engines are currently unrealistically tough, and may or may not continue to be so in the future.

Sorry but the update is too young yet and google isn't helping... how do you even activate it?

Why isnt there an option to disable damage? i know the game is a simulator, but its also a game. I'd enjoy using 500kW shot sizes just for ♥♥♥♥♥ and giggles.

Is super simple:

You pretty much answered yourself.
We are aiming for realism.
Crazy sized shot will make blowing up certain engine a thing of seconds.
Keep it to a reasonable size.

As Stenyak said above me, some engines like the ones used by 'Hillclimb' cars can sustain bigger shots better.

Wait. I cannot wait for a industrucible engine block mod and a 1,000,000kW shot mod lmao

There is already an indestructible engines mod. So that should work :)

I downloaded that mod yet my engines still blow up

You need to go to Vehicle Customisation (CTRL+W) and select on the top of the list "Additional Mods" and select the indestructable engine block

I mean, i know that the basics of how to get the nitro working isn't printed everywhere, but just by checking the keybinds i found what key it was to toggle the auto arm device for the NO2 and what key to manually inject the NO2.
