Product Information

Please note we will strictly only fill Nitrous bottles for use in motor vehicles, and reserve the right to decline refilling any bottle which we deem to be unsafe. The plume of gas you see some cars give off on the start line at the drag strip is simply gaseous nitrous being vented off to atmosphere through a purge kit. It brings liquid up to the solenoid ready for immediate use. That being said, only bigger kits using braided lines realistically need it, otherwise it’s just for the pose factor. Controllers

Each vehicle with a nitrous bottle in the passenger compartment requires a blowdown tube mounted to the bottle, in the event of a failure of the pressure release device. This is why when you blow on a fire the flames get higher and also why smoking inside an oxygen tent is a big no-no. When nitrous oxide(NOS) is heated it releases its oxygen and allows it to react with the fuel. If your bottle has anything other dash 4, M8 or M10 please let us know or bring with you a method of adapting your bottle outlet to dash 4 male otherwise we will be unable to fill your bottle for you.So buying a bottle isn’t as simple as just saying, “I’ll buy the biggest bottle I can to get the most runs out of it at one time.” If you’re trying to get the maximum performance out of the system, it’s important to size the nitrous bottle accordingly. This is where the advice of a seasoned nitrous technician comes into play; Wagner did recommend calling to ask for assistance with sizing the bottle correctly—and filling it with the ideal amount of nitrous for your particular application—if the possibility exists. Systems bought in kit form are typically optimized with lines and fittings to work correctly with the bottle size, jet size, and expected horsepower goal. Ok, so going by that, and my calculations, which aren't strong at the best of times (thank god my fiance is an accountant), a full bottle should weigh 10.494lbs including the valve??? and 6.09lbs including the valve when empty?? He shared that the carbon fiber bottles are the same type of bottle carried by firemen for oxygen purposes when fighting fires. As you might imagine, the lighter the fireman’s gear kit can be, the better off he is when faced with a difficult firefighting position. This usage also proves out the bottle’s capabilities in those types of situations. The advent of drag racing's Pro Mod class in the 1980s provided a boost of popularity to NOS. In fact, both the first 200 mph run and the first 6-second run were aided by NOS. Racers and performance enthusiasts at every level took notice of these remarkable feats. It is conceivable to say that nearly every significant performance milestone with nitrous was done with the NOS brand. Race reports show that the NOS brand still powers more racers than all others. With all of the talk about siphon tubes, we would be remiss if we didn’t also mention blowdown tubes and explain their function, which is wholly related to your safety as the driver of the vehicle. Racing sanctioning bodies typically require a hardline blowdown tube installed on every bottle in a nitrous-injected entry, and for good reason.

With all the above in mind, it is obviously essential to supply the engine with precise amounts of additional fuel to match the amount of nitrous oxide being added (to ensure the engine doesn’t run lean) and to retard the timing to an optimum setting, to achieve successful and reliable results. When all three (fuel, nitrous and timing) are controlled accurately, your engine can safely and reliably generate exceptional power increases without causing damage due to detonation. Nitrous has to change to a vapor [at the engine] to be functional. You want to get as much of the nitrous you can to the nozzle, and it needs to be liquid. When it’s in the bottle, and you’re getting 950 psi, that’s when it becomes a supercritical fluid, where it’s neither a liquid nor a vapor and kind of both at the same time. As soon as it goes above or below that critical temperature/pressure point, it turns into all liquid or all vapor. You have the balancing act of the two to get it from storing it in the bottle to getting it into the engine where you can use it—getting the nitrous from the bottle through all the lines, fittings, and solenoids. In a completely full bottle, it has 10 pounds of nitrous in it that is all liquid. As it gets used up, above the liquid is the vapor, and that’s what’s developing the pressure. There’s a balance between pressure and temperature, and liquid and vapor. Every time it goes through a transition, from the bottle to the nozzle, there can be a pressure drop, and if the pressure drops enough, it turns from a liquid to a vapor and screws the flow up,” says Wagner.Alternatively give us a call and tell us exactly what you have and we'll get the weight by weighing the same combination here. To achieve such a good cooliing effect the nitrous must be injected as a liquid. Only The Wizards of NOS ' Street Blaster' nitrous systems are capable of injecting such dense liquid as to take maximum advantage of this effect. The Affect Of Adding Nitrous Oxide To An Engine Combustion Cooler intake air is denser and therefore contains more oxygen, which will allow more fuel to be burned and in turn make more power. Just a 10 degree drop in temperature has the potential to increase an engines power by up to 1.5%. Nitrous oxide boils at -129°F and it begins to do that as soon as it’s injected into the intake manifold. To boil, the nitrous has to absorb heat from the intake charge and in so doing has the potential to reduce the intake air temperature by up to 80°, which means that if we were dealing with say a 400 hp engine, we could see a gain of over 30 hp from the cooling effect alone and as a bonus, this cooling effect also helps the engine stay below the detonation threshold. All of the bottles that are considered a carbon fiber bottle actually have a super-thin aluminum bottle under that. The carbon weaving is carbon fibers but not the carbon fiber that we look at in an automotive application that has a weave; this is carbon fiber threaded material that is wrapped around the bottle to strengthen it. That way, you can use thin aluminum to reduce weight, then the carbon fiber material strengthens that, then there is an epoxy finish,” he says.
