Nitrous Purging

[FATGTS-R]

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.

I think the idea of cooling the intercooler is fantastic. Is there a cheaper gas than NOS that works just as well and isn't flamable...?

[DJ984]

as said above... CO2

[DJ984]

ooops... dunno about flamable though.... just use wisely and you'll be right...

[Redback]

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

[BOOSTD]

opps my bad,

not sure either if it is flamble....

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

[rev210]

In that case perhaps they should have parrachutes stuck on the boot as well.

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.

what's a website where i can look at those rectangle shaped things that spray the intercooler? the one's with the purge function....? I've seen it on the net before but don't have the link anymore...

zex.... it's the nitrous brand for rice boys, they chose the colour purple (anyone want to guess why?)

[MotoX]

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.

[browny]

MotoX, umm I think they are talking about spraying it onto the intercooler. Not into it.

DJ984, CO2 isnt flammable, its used in fire extinguishers remember...

Ummm excuse me what??!?!?!?

Merli, this thread HAS to win an award of some kind doesn't it?

2rismo: Gotta get me one of those lights with the purge kit... the blue will match my ricie blue underglow kit...

MotoX: ummm, yeah... we where talking about ONTO the intercooler man....

Browny: lol... funny how the obvious things never come to mind isn't it, thanks mate... didn't even register in my head... lol

[^pilotboy^]

overboost store sells n-tercoolers and nos purge kits, dunno where in aus they sell em, but they are good with sales, usually cheaper too ~.... is there any way of hiding the solenoids so coppers cant see em ????
