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. :)

    • I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂
    • Nah, the car seems to run exactly as it did prior, in saying this it does "seem" to be better down low, like more eager to rev, but that may be 100% placebo effect from intake noise But, I'm not worried about it at all, in the end it is a fairly low compression NA engine that has a well shrouded intake,  if it is getting hotter IAT I cannot notice anything negative performance wise from the seat of my pants thrashing it about on the street or sitting in traffic, so meh, car now now makes induction noise so I'm happy
    • Do you have an IAT sensor? It's worth checking it to see. You may be suprised how little gap you actually need to flood your engine with hot air. (I tape up my airbox for a reason) :p
    • @KinkstaahKrinkle paint the "silver" alloy, not the red filter frame Engine bay heat won't be a issue worth worrying about as the silver alloy blocks it off on 3 sides, as for the top, the bonnet seals most of it and the big OEM CAI intake snorkel is still fitted in its original position  I will head into Clark's Rubber when I have some time to grab some pinch weld to tidy up the alloy after I paint it As for performance, I honestly wasn't expecting any, the only reason I got it is because the intake noise sounds cool to my old ears when I'm feeding it the beans Sometimes it's the silly things you do in in life that gives the most fun, and I do love anything that makes cool car noises In other news: I survived 4 nights at sea with Jackie not throwing me over board, holidays are continuing now as we are currently chilling at the Beachcomber in Toukley, after taking the coast roads from Sydney in the MX5, top down all the way, Toukley is where I spent a good deal of my youth holidaying during the summer months, there's lots of reminiscing going on,  and lots of beaches and old houses to visit Next on the list is to head to Batemans Bay for a few days, but we will take the Commodore out to stretch its legs, then Commodore hasn't really moved for months
