hi all just wondering if you nitrous users burp or purge your lines.

also if you burp was wondering if you had a certain way to do it.
Mine is a couple of quick pushes one in second and one in third while doing burnout.

Depends.

You really only need to pruge the nitrous line if either you've just connected the line, and want instant response, or if your pressures aren't 100%.

You running a nitrous and fuel pressure gauge?

What are you pressures doing before and after the blips in 2nd and 3rd?

Consistency is the main reason for doing this.

The heat of the engine turns the liquid to gas (wet system), which means the nitrous is less dense which = less power. Purging before you launch lets the gas out and provides fresh dense liquid = more power. Having constent power levels makes it easier to tune to i would think. Im no expert but that's what i gather from everything i have read. Please correct me if im wrong, also would there be any benifit in purging a dry system.

Sorry, didn't I just cover all that? The MAIN reason for purging is for consistency.

If there is air lock, or engine bay heat is too high, you won't have desired line/bottle pressure.

Purging a dry would apply the same.

An engine with extra fuel and no nitrous isn't a big deal.

i do a dummy start after the burnout with the n2o on.

i was looking at the "wank" option but the price of a purge kit is not justified although now they have one with a blue led light that makes the plume glow blue,lol that must be the "superwank" series.(could sort one from lpg solenoid perhaps but bahh).

ttnos8: yes i hear where you are coming from. as i am not running return line for fuel solenoid and car sits around for while between runs i burp to make sure no vapour lock in either lines.

Have a look at prices from america i bet you could land ne here for half the asking price.
