Hey for those of you that have been running nitrous for a while, how do you do your general maintenance? I've checked my plugs, but what's the best way to inspect the solenoid, and check for condensation in the lines and bottle? When i put the car away for the winter a few months back the bottle was mainly full, and i just made sure it was turned off and then parked it. I've never done any maintenance to the system since i've installed it (i bought it used as well) but figured it might be time to start checking things out.

Thanks.

I called my tuner today, and he said not to even worry about it. He said the only thing that may need cleaning is the nitrous filter because some shops that carry nitrous and fill tanks can be known to have contaminates in their setups. He has a Kenne Bell Mach 1 with a nitrous kit that's been on there for like 6 years, has never inspected it, and has never had a problem.

Anyone have any thoughts or opinions on this?

 

Its basically a closed system, so there should be no maintenance involved... like your tuner stated already

 

So a filter is a good idea then?

 

Nitrous is for suckers.

 

Maybe some other things to check include connections with the entire system and whatever bolts/fasteners there are to check that everything is still secure and not loose or cracked/damaged...the regular routine stuff.
