Did that on a tractor at work once, stalled at the top of a mulch pile, and rolled backwards in gear. Started itself back up, and the intake became the exhaust.

Nitrous is going to melt the rings and/or a hole in a piston. No matter what.

I nvr knew that could happen! look-a-here..guess ya learn new stuff everyday...Maybe I should put a K&N on my exhaust incase that happens!


I told a friend of mine who was the Mayors son(been sheltered his whole life) that you can go to Big 10 or autozone and get a chrome muffler bearing so the air would spin and make more power(I being a total smartass). My buddy at Big 10 calls me and says did you send Jordan up here to really buy a chrome muffler bearing....haha....He took me serious and tried to get one.

Had a old 86 model Yammy 125 2stroke. Went to start it one day, it kicked back on me and as a reflex I just stabbed the kickstart again, motor fired, I let it warm up.
Tossed it onto second and got into it. WTF Bike went backwards right into garage wall!
I didnt know wtf just happend and all my buddies was spittin and chokin on beer!

As precation I always let the engine stop turning after a 2 stroke kickback, before kicking it again! LOL

I was told that facing your twin turbo air intake filters towards each other in the engine bay will cause the turbos to fight each other for air can make it harder to create boost...
