100 shot...can't feel any dif

Got the wet kit on finally. Didn't work at first had the relay wired wrong. Got that corrected...made sure it worked....had the wife rev it to 3500 and I activated the WOT switch....saw it spray inside elbow. Went for a test run and couldn't really feel anything. Jetted for a 100 shot. MPH seemed to climb faster but no SOTP feeling. Bottle pressure was low..around 600-700. Would I notice that much of a difference if it was at 1000 psi?

Did you see nitrous shoot in the elbow as well? or just fuel? You should've seen a cloud. If not, your N20 Solenoid could be bad.

Re: 100 shot...can't feel any dif

Hmm... are you sure both solenoids were working? Tested them huh? Make sure the nozzle is facing the throttle body too.
Another thing, I bought my nitrous kit used and it had n2o in the bottle. When I sprayed I barely felt anything. I think the pressues was around 600. But when I had the bottle filled I felt it, BIG TIME. I heard sometimes there's "dead air" in the bottle.
Last suggestion is to put the bottle in the tub with hot water and bolt it in and try again with pressure @ ~900.
My 100 shot breaks the tires loose at 45mph in an A4. (2nd @ 3500)

Re: 100 shot...can't feel any dif

Bottle pressure will make a big difference in the optimal flow volume. Needs to be in the proper range (900-1050, depending on the company--NX uses 1050 for max flow); not too low nor too high. At 600 psi you were well below the appropriate pressure level for best flow (measured in lbs/sec) volume. A bottle heater is one remedy for your situation. Also, make sure both solenoids are functioning, as stated above. Good luck!

Thanks for the help guys...it was a solenoid. Starting working back from the nozzle and found what I think is the remains of a o-ring wedged in the jet. Solenoid was letting nitrous through constantly but plugged jet was preventing from going into motor. I do have a bottle heater ....just didn't have it wired up yet...Thanks!!

yep...they are going to replace it for me under warranty but I think I'll use it as my purge valve. I put a NOS solenoid in place of the bad one for now but will go NX next time.

Everytime I have an issue with my system and am not sure if it's working, I later get the problem resolved and am quickly reminded that even with a 100 shot, there's NO DOUBT when it's working right. If you're "wondering" if it's working, then it's NOT.
