ok zex has come out with the http://zex.com/products/Files/Nitrou...lator82180.jpg

now i have delt with expansion chambers before on paintball guns using nitrogen. do you guys honestly think that tiny expansion chamber can keep up with the continuous flow of nitrous? in paintball it expands for each shot with the gun not being fully automatic, it has a few thousandths of a second to recharge the chamber for the next shot. i just dont see how this chamber can keep up with the continuous flow. i would love to own 1 if they worked but i just can't see it working as stated. any input ?

 

IMO...it is overcomplicating the install....with a good heat soak and a blanket I do not see much pressure drop over a pass.

 

dave in your view , do you think the thing could even work? oh by the way i am looking at a second kit for my car. need 175 wet ,lt1 car by the way. looking at buying by mid spring, gotta finish the motor and suspension first.
the fuel system is ready for it already

 

the theory behind this is you run higher bottle pressure (12-1500) and the regulator will supply the solenoids with the user set pressure (1050 for our kits)

Yes it will work, but I don't like the idea of over pressurizing the system.

Still waiting on nhra approval though which should go through later this year.

 

sir you have a pm with a question. hey dave that look like a decent idea . whats you thoughts?

 

Push systems have been around for years....the downfall is if the regulator would fail you will have an instant overpressurization of the nitrous bottle.

What is happening is you are backfilling the bottle with nitrogen, therefore pushing the nitrous out of the bottle.

The nitrogen bottle is ~3000psi with a regulator adding nitrogen from the small bottle to your nitrous bottle as the pressure drop/you use the nitrous.

There is a reason they still don't have NHRA approval.

 

on average at what pressure does the blow off valve on the nitrous bottle pop?

 

~3000psi... But if they are overtightened when they are installed it will lower the burst point. I have seen them burst the first time they are filled

 

gottcha . i've seen a few co2 go but you know how low of psi they are. thanks for all the input ray.

 

Its more like less than 1500 psi with the proper install of a single disc, though some have tempted fate with 2 discs.

 

All of the pressure discs that we have in stock (NX, N.O.S, and our own) are rated to 3000psi......

in this pic you can see the rating printed on the disc...

There are times I have seen the bottle pressure exceed 1500psi when filled with a pump station, due to the heat generated while pumping.

 

You might check again, they're not rated for nitrous if they're at 3000 psi.

EDIT: Eating Crow. I am wrong!! The 16150NOS disk is indeed rated at 3000 psi. This did not use to be the case and its been years since I had one pop. I guess 3000 psi is why. Sorry about that!!
