What does a burst plate do?

A burst plate acts as a safety device for your engine's induction system. It's designed to vent excessive pressure caused by a backfire, protecting components like your carburetor, throttle body, and intake manifold from damage.

Do I need to replace the burst plate after a backfire?

No, you don't need to replace the entire panel. This Nitrous Express burst plate features four opening panels that automatically reset after a backfire due to internal springs, making it ready to protect your engine again.

What kind of applications is this burst plate for?

This burst plate is specifically designed for 4150 flanged applications, commonly found in performance carburetor setups. It can protect against backfires from both nitrous oxide systems and naturally aspirated engines.

About this part

Product Details

If you're running a 4150-style carburetor setup, especially with nitrous, a backfire can cause some serious damage to your carburetor, throttle body, and intake manifold. This Nitrous Express burst plate is designed to vent that excessive pressure, acting like a safety valve to protect your components. It's a smart way to add a layer of insurance to your engine build.

This plate is machined from solid billet aluminum and finished with a black anodizing for a clean look. It's 1 inch thick and built specifically for 4150 flanged applications. What's really neat is that after a backfire, the four opening panels automatically reset thanks to internal springs, so you don't need to replace a panel. This means it's ready to protect your engine again after each incident, whether it's from a nitrous backfire or even a hiccup from a naturally aspirated engine.

It's a cost-effective way to safeguard your investment in your engine's induction system. The plate includes a fuel fitting plug to complete the installation.
