i am running a dry kit and was wanderin do i have too fill the bnottle completelyfull everytime can i fill it like halfway or will that affect bottle pressure and stuff? or will the shot be weaker?

jimkaray

yes to all the above.

As the nitrous is used pressure will naturally drop so a half full bottle wil only get you 2, 3 good runs tops if you can keep the pressure up. Nitrous pressure is critical to a properly functioning system so monitor closely. Pressure will also drop as outside air temp falls. You should have a gauge that you check on each run so you can monitor the pressure. A bottle heater is a must have to keep up the pressure as the volume runs down and/or the air temp drops below the mid 80's.

You don't have to fill it completely full to get the full effect, but why wouldn't you? You'll just have less usable nitrous before you have to fill it again. I mean what would be the point of going through the hassle of getting it filled to only do it halfway? I'm not trying to sound like a jerk or anything, i'm just trying to understand why someone wouldn't fill the bottle completely. I've never heard of anyone doing that.

because its like 50 bucks here to fill up a nitrous bottle here and that would cost alot after awhile

IMHO if you can't afford to fill the bottle all the way then you really shouldn't do nitrous at all. Think of it this way, say you fill it half way for $25. Now you will just need to fill it that much sooner again when the time comes...thus spending just as much money in the end. Besides do you really think that you will never use a full bottle lol? Plus you only have so much usable nitrous in the bottle. So you'll be running low and inconsistent much more often, and having to make more trips to the nitrous shop, which will cost you more in gas money lol.

I'm just saying...

Well I was just wanderin and plus it doesn't matter if you end up spending more money in the longrun that the point you spend what you got when you have that's like borrowing money on a supercharger your paying more than it cost for i t in interest but you don't have all the money at once I'm 17 and I got a 96 cobra for my firdt car and my dad letting me strap on nitrous and I don't make that much

mrtstang

I understand what you're saying man. I'm just giving you my thoughts and opinions.

You might want to stay stock if 50 bucks is a lot of money at the time...

I was just curious how many runs will I get out of a 10lb bottle?

mrtstang

Depends on the size of the shot. A 100 shot with a 10lb. bottle should get you around maybe 8 good runs. That's of course if you FILL THE BOTTLE ALL THE WAY!!
