I thought you were supposed to keep nos warm, Idk if its a good idea.

Do you know anything about hooking this stuff up?I could really use some help finishing it .

I remember me and my uncle hooking up a 250 shot in his 79 Z about 4 years ago, But that was awhile ago. I would pull the bottle and store it in the basement for the winter though. I don't know if the cold would matter but i know there supposed to be kept warm when your about use them lol

power to the switch, from switch to WOT switch Wot switch to solenoids(if they are big ones you need a relay) solenoids to ground

It probaly wont freaze. Its supposed to be cept warm when you are useing it to keep it at a high pressure. I would bring it inside just incase though.

Maybe it's just me, but bringing a bottle of HIGHLY pressurized accellerant (for lack of a better word) into your house seems like a TERRIBLE FREAKIN IDEA.

It's when this stuff get's too hot that you encounter problems, not when it gets too cold. That's why you use a bottle warmer when in use: it heats up the N2O and it expands, increasing bottle pressure. If it gets cold (i.e. in the winter, or during use) the N20 becomes more dense and your bottle pressure drops.
If you have anything to worry about, it's bringing a cold bottle into your house and letting it warm up. If you've ever seen a paintball tank burst-disk pop, you'll know what i'm talking about. Now imagine that times literally 10-50 (depending on tank size) and, oh, yeah: that stuff is an accellerant, not just CO2.


As far as your solenoids and whatnot go, just purge them out and they'll be fine. they get way colder during use than a MI winter will ever be.

EDIT: keep it in your garage if you're worried about it, but just treat it with respect, and you'll be fine.

This is what happens when N20 gets HOT, not cold:

the nitrous wont go bad so just take it out and keep in somewhere room temp or so and it will be fine.. althoguth im sure you could just leave it in the car

Yeah,im taking it out tomorrow.

All thats going to happen if you leave it in the car is that there is going to be very low bottle pressure and when you take it out in the snow and try to spray it you wont get the full hit

85 degree bottle temp is like 900-950. room temp is fine
