lol take off the sticker, but its gonna be pretty obvious once u pop the hood, unlesss hes a noob....the car runs just fine as long as u have the purge kit, and u gotta keep real good care of ur bottle, make sure u heat it up before u spray, make sure u dont park ur car under the sun for a long time....u know...just basic awareness...other than that runs fine and "superfine" when u spray it.

IMO during that 10sec of sprayin, its the best feeling u can get, its like ur moving with the car...car+u=1...

You can buy longer hoses and just mount them lower on the firewall. New hoses are a couple bucks, but look in the right places and you get them cheap and custom made. that are just as good if not better then the ones that come with the kit, depending on what parts you ask them to make them with. I found them at a race shop.

why would you say that? Nitrous is perfectly safe for an engine as long as you dont over-do it.
50 shots are perfect for STOCK engines. People who dont know what they're doing put 100+ shots on their STOCK engine and then they go kaboom!

As with anything, its all about moderation and common sense

my nx install

I've got pictures up of where I mounted the solenoids and jet. You will know when you bottle is empty because the nitrous 'hit' won't be as strong and the car won't pull as fast. Get a bottle heater and you will see an even bigger 'hit'!

don't flame..this is what i've heard. i heard purge kits are pretty use less for us sprayin no more than a 50 shot. it only decreases our times by .01. just a waste of money. anyone else say different? i'd like to hear. thanks

Purge kits are great fun. Nothing better than seeing the look on your opponents face when a plume of white n2o flies out of your car.

hey man send me some pics and ill send u some back... hey i was talking to someone i know who race tunes cars and he said that i should put a bigger fuel jet to compensate for our engines running lean, he drags jappanize cars and tunes them all day, so i guess try it and see if it makes any difference, he said it should hit harder and pull like a wild horse

As it heats up, the pressure will begin to increase. There is the potential to blow the tank, but I'm not sure of the likelihood of it happening.

just get that 3000 (i think thats the #) psi safety escape valve. youll be fine. the valve will go and empty the bottle before the bottle explodes
