Medical grade nitrous does smell. Has a sweet smell. Never smelled it being burned in an engine. Just in a ballon. When I was younger, lol.

i wouldnt think so, they just put enough sulpher in there to irritate people who try to huff it, your engine will never notice

Nitrous has no smell but theres sulfer in it and it has a bad smell. If your getting a sweat smell id be looking to see if your pushing coolant. Mine has never had a funny smell when its working correctly. If you had a standalone with race gas it would have a smell.

Medical grade nitrous will have absolutely no smell whatsoever. We can get ahold of medical grade out here in, and have tried it. It does not have the same smell. The real sneaky hidden kit guys use the medical stuff so that there is little proof if them using it.
Good post.

We use medical grade nitrous - it has no smell whatsoever.
