Default a thought

today me and my friend were washing our cars and i decided to spray down and clean my engine bay, after having driven 50 miles and running it hard it steamed, i remembered the two little vent holes in the hood and i closed it and watched the steam seep out of the holes, my friend thought it was cool and i said it would be cooler if i had a nitrous purge in those two holes

now i drive a 94 v6 mustang and from what ive heard about nitrous its alot like crack, ill go through what i have and ill want more and then befor i know it ill have blown my engine!
so i thought, the C02 cannister for my paintball gun could imitate a nitrous purge, why not try it?

so i want to know how i could fasten my c02 bottle under the hood and rig a button purge so that it would shoot out of the vent holes, it would look like i have nitrous but without that whole engine blowing thing! anybody got any ideas on how i would go about doing somthing like this? and yes i realize its a little ricy and a bit like those turbo modulators that make it sound like your car has a turbo but i figure it would get a few girls attention and make the ***** in the g35 go away

They sell kits online that are for show and only purge co2. I can't remember where I last saw one, but you'd have all the lines and switches and whatnot and the ability to just refill your bottle with co2. I'm sure if you google it or just check ebay you'll find something. On another note, I think purging from the 2 holes in the hood would look cool. That's the only think I hate about the new edge mustangs is the lack of those holes in the hoods.....

Getting a purge system without any performance pluses is kinda like getting a blower and not hooking it up isnt it? Wouldnt Co2 free the plastic covers making them brittle and more likely to break? I dont know in my opinion it would be kinda ricerish, but do what you want, its your car notmine.

Driving a car with nitrous is no different than driving a high performance V8 car. Yeah you'll get on it at first but then you'll start driving normal again. Your'e not going to hit the spray every time you go to the store. Personally I'd rather have nitrous and blow some ones doors off because they didn't know I had it rather than getting your doors blown off faking you have it and getting laughed at.

Serious Rice for sure! Why bother with all that non-sense when a nitrous kit isn't even that expensive and you will then have the ability to get that 95 moving.
