View Full Version : Can you still get 900PSI with 1/4 full bottle?

I am running out of my first bottle...

When I first crack it open...it reads 600PSI, after a good 20mins with the heater on...it reads 950psi. Now, when I hit it...didnt feel like it was doing much compared to when my bottle was full. I know you feel it less and less with the bottle nearing empty...but since my guage is still reading 900psi shouldnt it feel the same as when the bottle is full and reading 900PSI?

Another thing it could be...I just came home and realized that my damn Purge Solenoid was a **** hair open still...I could hear a loud hiss from it... :( I purged once real quick, and it shut up.

your bottle is prolly empty.. as long as you keep the pressure up wether there is only a little bit or completely full you should still get the full effect of nitrous.. which leads me to believe you have nothing in there but air :)

probably right...

Though the cars still pulls harder than normal, it just doesnt pull the way the full bottle pulled..! So in other words I am still shooting 900PSI, just half of that being air... :(

Time to refill...but at $70/bottle...sucks here! Oh, Canadian funds that is...still alot though!

I know...but I just cant wait for a damn turbo...even if it does get here...I cant justify spending $6000 for it! Thats why I never argue on here about when turbo this, when s/c that....

I know even if it was out...I wouldnt fork over the money for it! lol

Plus I love my nitrous man...I just made an awesome mount for my fuel pressure guage where my lighter used to be, I am trying to get a camera now to take pics, looks awesome though!

problem is nitrous gets really addictive and yoll find yourself going through bottles really quick.. i filled mine up 4x in the 3 weeks i had it on the car.. at that rate and your pricing it would only take about 70x or a little over a year in paying to fill the bottle to pay for a turbo kit :)

everyone should understand that before they buy nitrous.. everyone always says ill noly use it once in a while etc etc.. BS.. when you got that extra however many hp at the touch of a button youll be suprised how much youll use it

Hey Iwannagofast,

Are you saying that you are only paying $2.50 per pound for Nitrous? That is very cheap, I have been paying $3.50 in Dayton at S&K Racing.
