nitrous bottle question.
 

hey hows it goin people. i did a search but didnt come up with anything. i was wondering what i can use in place of a n20 tank. i have an entire kit except the tank and i was wondering if there was any bottle other then the actual n20 one i can use. i dont want to spend 100 bux on a bottle if i can just get something else.. the way it looks isnt exactly important to me. i just want something that will get the job done. thanks.

you cant ghetto-rig a high pressure bottle, thats dumb. go to a welding/oxygen supply place for the real thing, or buy one from a nitrous company....or get a turbo :P

Re:nitrous bottle question.
 

im not saying to make one out of a coke bottle or anything but like are there other alternatives? like a scuba tank maybe or a fire extinguisher? you know something like that.

Re:nitrous bottle question.
 

I have never heard of such a question. I dont recommend ghetto rig your setup. just get the real thing. Sometimes quality is better my friend. Or just go turbo like ghettoturbo suggested

Re:nitrous bottle question.
 

the thing is that you could use a tank from another appliction, but you would have to pay money to get the valve changed over to the right type, and have the tank hydro-tested most likely

The answer to all your questions... http://www.nitrous.info
Info on nitrous for the DIY-er. Great site.

Re:nitrous bottle question.
 

It only has to hold 950psi. Just weld some pipe together. This guy wanted more performance out of his bottle so he tampered with his pressure release valve and hard wired his bottle heater for maximum performance.

Re:nitrous bottle question.
 

thank you ;D

Re:nitrous bottle question.
 

LOL anytime kevin!

Re:nitrous bottle question.
 

ghetto rigged nitrous... LOL get your mom to send in pics after you kill yourself.

Don't forget, you need a pick up tube going to the bottom of the bottle.. You want to pick up liquid, not gas. And don't just mount a bottle upside down, you'll probably freeze the valve open.

Second thought, don't worry about the pics, I'll see you explode from here.

Re:nitrous bottle question.
 

i herd of someone using a fire ext. dont no if its true thought lol

Re:nitrous bottle question.
 

The fire ext. thing works...

Poor Maxima above was blown up by a retard that "hard wired" his bottle heater ( another words, it NEVER turns off, 24hours a day !! ).

And yes for some reason he tampered with the presure releif too ::). All modern nitrous bottles would have just left him with an emty bottle and a dead battery....

I love to here people say " man, back in 89' my buddy had nitrous on his 5.0 and it blew the welds on the intake and the manifold went right through his hood !!!"...

Old nitrous systems were much more dangerous ( IE like the fire ext. are friend is about to install ) and were VERY unreliable !!!

9 bottles of zex 75 shot on a bone stock 155K mile D15b2 and never even burnt as much as a starter or altinator !!!

Now after 50 head aches, and lots of work, and bleeding hands, I have a HMT... Would I go back to nitrous ? NO... Is it b/c it was unreliable ? NO... Its b/c $30 for a little fun gets old REAL fast.... I boost my car everyday... Its fast everyday... and b/c I'm ghetto I work on it almost everyday ( at least I'm honest )...

Thinking about a 35 wet shot for the dyno at Nopi this year though... It'll never see that drag strip, just the dyno...

13psi with wrx turbo and a 35shot should get me close to 300whp with open exhuast and race gas... OR closer to the tow truck home....
