When I first went to a drag meet and saw NOS equipped cars purging out under the windscreen I used to think it was just water to clean there windscreen before a run thinking they couldnt have wipers coz they would break off at high speeds. LOL

The low grade nitrous used in NOS systems or commercial applications has sulphur in it to prevent misuse. The medical grade found at the dentists, hospitals etc. doesn't have that element - but I think you need a license to purchase the good stuff.

purging is all i want. and i know it will be rice. very very rice but that what im after. for now anyway.

a non flmable gas on a home made system? what type of parts would you need..?

electronic valve and a heap of pipe work maybe

since the install of nitorus is not going to be done properly anyway why not use a cheap alternative like carbon dioxide.

Money is no object to ricers chasing the dream of making their cars look fast hs.gif

Nitrous Oxide is not flammable on its own, however once it is mixed with a hydrocarbon like fuel and an ignition source then you have an explosion on your hands. It works in a similar fashion to that of oxygen in a fire, in that it is the oxidizing agent needed to perpetuate the reaction. It produces a more intense heat and hence more energy is liberated per unit fuel.

hahah, it would be a bad to spray c02 into your intercooler, not only will your car run lean but it woudlnt be as flamable, you would best off putting oxygen into you airflow meter, that would feed into your turbo, effictivly cooling your inlet turbine, and allowing the AFM to read the oxygen that is passed into your engine.

as far as wanting your car to purge, jsut buy nos for gods sake and get a propper purging system.

also purple is ment to be a poofter colour. :)

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
