pure O2 in the intake (dont laugh lol)
what if you bleed pure o2 into your intake? 
i work for an oxygen company and always wondered if you go inject o2 into the track for more power or something like it, lol. throw some ideas if you know something, beside the o2 sensors and computer would be going insane.

I sure wish my car was newer

Rep Power: 366 I had that done on my Civic back in the day. I stole an oxygen tank from my grandmother's hospital room and hooked it up like NAWS. But one day after some wicked street racing and hijacking 18-wheelers, I got into a fight with these craaaazy Asian dudes and they got these uzis and shot up my car. I was like "eh, nothing I can't fix with a body kit, bondo, and vinyl," but then my bodybuilder friend was like OXYGENNNNNNNNN and we had to run away from the shot-up car before the oxygen exploded.
True story.

lmfao o2....i dont think that would be good im not sure i didnt pay attention that well in Egine theory but i think 02 has to be equal to something else i dont know ahhh shizzle im gunna fail that class

oh btw.... holy shyte!! WHITE2K2EX that was flippin hilarious
good stuff!

Rep Power: 0 Looks like everyone who has responded to this thread to this point needs to go back to grade 9 science class. Oxygen isn't a fuel, so it doesn't burn!!! When things burn they are combined with oxygen to liberate energy, this is called combustion. Like oxygen, Nitrous oxide is not a fuel, but rather it is an oxidizer. The guy who works with liquid oxygen should have noticed the whimis label doesn't say combustible.
If you don't understand this very basic fact, it's pretty hard to do anything to improve the performance of your car.

the mere fact that you discredit my knowledge for wording something incorrectly when you know exactly what i spoke of shows your true ignorance or lack of. have a great day too

Rep Power: 0 I wasn't "picking things apart to make myself seem smart". I was making light of an important and relevant fact which seemed to have escaped everyone until I pointed it out. Namely, that combustion in an engine uses oxygen to burn fuel, and not the other way around. People such as yourself were talking nonsense like what temperature oxygen burns at and so on. My comments weren't directed at you specifically, familycar so your defensiveness and attacks at myself were really uncalled for.

the mere fact that you discredit my knowledge for wording something incorrectly when you know exactly what i spoke of shows your true ignorance or lack of. have a great day tooyour comments may not have been directed at me but did include me. you comment was that i need to go back to 9th grade science class and i dont understand basic facts about what happens when oxygen is introduced into the combustion chamber. my comment stated that oxygen burns much too hot. well if i would have put that much oxygen causes it to burn much too hot i would have been correct. if that isnt nit picky i dont know what is. we are typing on the internet fool. i am not being graded on sentence structure. you got the point and so did anyone else that read it yet you still felt it necessary to make such a blanket statement as you did. so my frustration does show when trying to defend myself against the damn grammar police. you knew what i said and had to comment just to be a smart *** its obvious. so move on i am not here to argue about sentence structure just let this guy know he could be in for a world of trouble trying to inject pure oxygen into his intake.

wow... very well put. and look the whole point about these post is to get the point across without breaking it down barney-style so that people dont feel like a complete @ss for asking the question so that they will ask other questions and not blow thier car to high heaven. as for the 9th grade crack im not gonna lie good one... for real. and your right not combustible but it does highly support combustion... like the igniting of a gas maybe? (thats two and a half years fire fighting and one cryogenics talking). we're all here to help each other out, if im right cool if im wrong thats cool too, just correct me so that i dont f$%k it up myself nothing to it. but really the point is that its not a good idea to put straight o2 into your engine... oh and btw
since we are all breaking down each others stuff, strickly out of kicks and giggles familycar you did say BLANKET when i think you mint blatant.ps did you catch mine!
Last time I had this much fun some furniture got broken!

Obviously, I've never done this, but I can take a pretty good guess at what would happen.
The O2 sensor would swing WAY out of range. The ECU would freak out and either go into open-loop mode, or use other sensors to try and meter fuel (I haven't looked at the EFI system on this car yet to know which).
Either way, the ECU will deliver about the same amount of fuel as it would for a normally-aspirated car. This means that your mixture would effectively be WAY lean. Your engine would either ping or predetonate, and the combustion chamber temperature would get very high. Eventually, you would melt an exhaust valve or few, and you would no longer have compression. Or you would vaporize the nose of your spark plugs (usually good to 850C). Etc., ad nausem. These are all well-known effects for an ultra-lean-running engine, you don't need to speculate much here.
So, what if you had a power commander or something for the ECU, and were able to deliver enough fuel to keep the mixture near stoichiometric? (Note -- there is no guarantee the Civic's injectors could do this, especially given the single-ended fuel rail). You would make one HELLA LOT OF POWER. Until something broke, which wouldn't take long at all. Given what I've read about the D engines, my money would be on connecting rods.
As for mister rice boy with the carbon dioxide setup. WTF? You know that's what they put in fire extinguishers, right? Hint -- your combustion chamber needs to be able to light a fire now and then...
