I am having a problem with my recently installed nitrous, I think that everything is hooked up correctly but there doesn't seem to be any nitrous coming through the line. When I purge it I don't see any nitrous come out so I just think that air is running through the line even though my bottle is full. What could be the problem and the solution to it?

 

Is the bottle cold? How is it mounted (the bottle)? Do you her a pssst sound and not see a plume of vapor?

 

Yeah I bottle is cold, and mounted on an angle so the bottom of the bottle is lowwer, It does make a psst sound but no vapor

 

Heat the bottle up and try it again. Cold bottles make for very low pressure and this does not work well in a nitrous system. In fact if you were to try and spray it with a cold bottle, it is very likly that the car would slow down due to all the extra fuel being dumped in. Pull the bottle and put it in a sink or tub full of hot water for a few minutes, if you have a gauge, look for 900-1100 psi, then try your purge again and let me know what happens.

 

As previously mentioned, your bottle should be warm, not cold! It should be warmed enough to support a minimum of 900psi for a good hit to occur. Another possible problem to look for would be a malfunctioning nitrous solenoid.

 

My bottle gauge says that its at 400 psi, I thought that just told how much nitrous is left in the bottle though.

 

400psi is way too low. Heat the bottle and you will see the pressure rise. Nitrous is measured in weight not psi, you can have 2 lbs left in the tank and still have 800 psi. You always want to be between 900-1100 psi when you hit the spray, the jets are calibrated to work at that pressure. Too much bottle pressure can lean out the system and to little will make you run too rich, this of course is based on a wet kit, but even if you run a dry kit it's still very important to watch bottle pressure.

 

Im lost... whats N02? [&:]

 

one part nitrogen, two parts oxygen.

 

so he's running nitrogen dioxide in his car? i wonder if that changes the pressure readings. lol
