Forums Forums Enthusiast Forums A - Z Autowirral N.O.S. Nitrous Oxide

Scooby Is still looking to get N.O.S. Fitted in the Impreza, Probably be getting it installed in the next few weeks or so ? The problem i am having is keeping the N.O.S. Bottle warm enough to produce 900 psi that is required... The bottle has to be kept at approx 38 degrees to achieve this, Any Idea's or suggestions as to how i can do this ????

Found this nice pic before of N.O.S.

seen somewhere you can buy somet to cover the bottle with, sort of cover that keeps it warm ill ave a chase around. a nitrous specialist should know about em

Bottle Warmer information follows:

"Bottle Heater, A bottle heater is a very valuable piece of equipment to fir to your nitrous kits, as it will always give you the best performance regardless of the weather. This is a huge advantage if you live in a cold country or a dull weathered one like England. A bottle heater is equipped with a thermostat, which turns on when you start the car and stays on until the temperature of the bottle is at optimum performance or the pressure is high enough. The thermostat obviously turns off at this point and will turn back on again when the heat or pressure is to low. Some heaters work off the pressure, some off the heat of the bottle and the best on will take both into account and let you specify a cut off and starting point."

It is a bottle warmer that i am after however i have made serious enquiries about them and no one in the U.K. can supply me wiv one.....
I am currently attempting to get one sent over from the states

Wheres ya dad work ????

he works in advanced auto electrical in rock freey. so if u need any electrical work he's top quality at good prices.

can he re-wire the poor little Austin Maestro`s speedo????? lol

Only messin, sean you your amp yet??


VTR/WIRRAL

This is what i am on about, however i cannot find a N.O.S. Dealer in the UK to supply me with one.



This is why i need one, at normal winter temp i will only be getting approx half the pressure required therefore i would only be getting half of the extra power that i want....

Relationship Between Bottle
Temperatures and Nitrous Pressure
TECH NOTE: The lower the ambient temperature, the lower the resultant bottle pressure leading to a potential fuel rich condition. Although usually not harmful to the engine, loss of optimal power can occur. On the other hand, very high ambient temperatures can lead to leaner burning conditions and loss of optimal performance as well as possible damage to engine components. NOS gauges are an excellent way to monitor problems before they can occur.

you might have to import one. but im sure I've seen a website for one of the big NOS names in the UK, and they had heaters on it. can't find the addy though.

here you go mate, theres 3 kits here, one in the uk and 2 from abroad.... uk one looks a bit budget though.

Sorted your problem of keeping the bottle temp.
You need 38c yeh.
Would 37c - 37.5c be any good?

The science !
Normal body temperature is 37c but if you have a fever its 37.5c
So shove the bottle down your pants.

vowla 37c easy, + it will impress the lady’s when you get out the car ?

Plus side: cheap, improves street cred.
Down side: Its a bugger to go the toilet!
