Over the past 40 years, the crossbar-design N2O plate has been accepted as the standard of the industry. It resembles a 1/2- to 1-inch-thick 4-barrel carburetor spacer plate. The brass, aluminum, or stainless-steel crossbar, featuring a series of finely drilled holes or sprayers, is fed by fuel and N2O jet ports located at opposite ends.

Installing a single-stage, single-carbureted nitrous oxide system can be done at home using common shop tools, but it’s advisable that you start with a healthy engine and a properly working carburetor first.
