Default Purging

This is a stupid question about nitrous. I was wondering how to have air shoot out of the grille or whereever like in 2 fast 2fuious with the skyline. Is this even possible? Is purging bad for the engine? My friend just got nitrous in his Acura RSX and i just had i few questions about it.

Purging just blows nitrous through the tubing up to the purge valve. Done to remove air from the line. So not hazardous to the engine, just wastes nitrous if purge is not needed. Purge valves are not new nor even "rice."

Actually, if there is air in the lines, it will make your car faster to purge.
