Nitrous & The Bottle - Basic Considerations - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I have been running a 125 HP shot for the past year and thought discussing some basic considerations may be interesting to people considering a simple Nitrous Oxide System power adder for their Camaro. I made a short video regarding this topic & the link is below.

90 degrees F will get you about 980 psi. With just a manual switch for the heater, one needs to be mindful about temperature to prevent overheating. Which could lead to a high enough pressure to open the rupture disk. Having a pressure switch and gauge to adjust it, adds some convenience, safety and consistency. The bottle is "sealed" away from the cab, being in the trunk. But still, no blow down tube required at the track?

Yes you are right. No blow down tube is required unless the bottle is in the car with the driver. Yes you need to be mindful or careful to turn the switch off to the bottle heater when you are at the correct temperature. Too high a temperature will produce too high a pressure as well and the solenoid controlling the Nitrous delivery may not function properly if the pressure is way high.
