Hey guys i was just wondering how many passes you could get out of one bottle of nitrous before filling it up? Also i heard the nitrous tune "kills" your n/a tune, is that true?

 

What size is the bottle? How big are the jets? How long as the solenoids open?

Asking how many passes you can get out of a bottle of nitrous is like asking how many drinks of water you can take from a bottle until it's empty. How big is the bottle? How big are the "gulps?" How long does each one last?

 

I have a 10lb bottle at 80 shot and it lasts me about 6-8 runs down the 1/4

 

I normally get about 8 runs out of a 10lb. bottle @100 shot. That is spraying from the beginning of third to the end. I do fill up regularly so I always have some go fast juice in the bottle when I need it.

 

how about the tune??

 

the tune should retard your timing a bit for the nitrous so yes running on a nitrous tune will make you run a bit slower N/A. But not much. If you dont retard your timing for the nitrous it could hurt your engine.

 

and you have to run colder plugs with n2o which will hurt your hp when n/a

 

i don't use colder plugs , i'm jetted for 80 and get about 10 full passes. newer cars can benefit from a flipswitch , that way you don't have to be a slug NA

foxbodies just can use a msd dial and dial the timing whenever needed from your seat.

i spray right out of the hole, keep my bottle hot at all times, (cold bottle waste a lot of nitrous)

i usually fill up when i have 3 lbs left.

 

the rule of thumb is that with 100 shot jets you will use 1 lb of nitrous for every 10 seconds you are spraying. I can get around 7 passes before my pressure starts to drop.
