Bottle question
 
Please do not turn this into a nonsensical thread.


That being said, how long with a 10# bottle, unwarmed last?

sweetbmxrider 04-10-2009 10:20 PM

depending on the shot size, i believe 1 minute of 1/4 mile passes would be an average. obviously not from experience, from research

LTb1ow 04-10-2009 10:21 PM

One minute eh?

So like 4 runs. Hmmm

sweetbmxrider 04-10-2009 10:28 PM

as far as i know yeah. i could have been lied to though. there are quite a number of variables too so go out and find out what your setup does!

LTb1ow 04-10-2009 10:30 PM

Just contemplating the usefulness of a a NANO ish system.

sweetbmxrider 04-10-2009 10:34 PM

they seem like a great investment to me but there were a couple things i questioned about them. nano ish?

LTb1ow 04-10-2009 10:35 PM

Yes, I make my own. Already have the tank, and reg.

a 10lb bottle unwarmed would last 0 passes in anyones car who actually cares about their nitrous kit's performance. A full cold bottle only gives me like 750psi which is way too low. I over-heat my bottle in a bath tub to like 1400psi then wrap it in a blanket that I just took out of the dryer before I head to the track... By the time I get there the bottle is usually around 1000psi. Between passes I keep it warm with a torch (yeah I know...) and I can easily maintain 1000psi even after several runs. I can make 4 passes through an .041 nitrous jet and only use 5.5lbs of nitrous - So thats about 40-45 seconds of use.

LTb1ow 04-13-2009 06:16 PM

Ok well I don't want a bottle blanket cause its a custom painted bottle, so I was looking at alternate solutions. Hence, NANO.

sweetbmxrider 04-13-2009 06:33 PM

well are you going to be using it all the time? just put a heater on it when you are racing and take it off when you aren't. the bottle brackets will cover some up anyways.

LTb1ow 04-13-2009 06:35 PM

Yea, thats always a possibility. However unless they make a cigarette plug in for em, I don't wanna be wiring in any more ****. I was thinking a hidden nano-ish system somewhere.

sweetbmxrider 04-13-2009 06:39 PM

its like 4 wires.....

Thanks Slow Z for an actual technical post.

98tadriver 04-14-2009 12:31 AM

yeah you dont want to run your bottle at less than a 1000psi . youll hardly feel the hit and if its a wet kit, itll run wayyyy too rich, since theyre designed to work at 950-1050psi. do u want the bottle to look pretty or make your car go fast?

if you are gunna torch the bottle make sure you are doing it evenly and get one of those stick on fish tank temperature indicators....

I torch my bottle very carefully... so carefully that it's probably one of the least effective ways to heat the bottle. I keep the flame moving quickly so the bottle never gets hot to the touch, just keeps warm. I see some guys hold torches to one area of the bottle for what seems like minutes at a time. that's just asking for trouble :shock:

sweetbmxrider 04-14-2009 06:38 PM

do you at least have a pressure gauge on the bottle?

LTb1ow 04-14-2009 06:39 PM

Me?

Yes.

sweetbmxrider 04-14-2009 06:44 PM

no the torchers....

LTb1ow 04-14-2009 06:47 PM

Pft, once the disk bursts, you know you torched it to much.

sweetbmxrider 04-14-2010 05:41 PM

ever make that nano ish thing?

BarneyMobile 04-14-2010 10:38 PM

Bottle warmer, done deal! I have the dynotune bottle warmer and it works great. No towels, torches or hot water baths. With a 10lb and a 100shot I'd get about 5 or 6 passes. The 150, I got about 3 to 4.
