Author Topic: NX bottle heater problem??? CustomFastbackCA ¯ Member # 1369 posted                                 Hey guys, Ok so here's my kit. NX 20923 with Gen-X II upgrade. 10lb bottle, bottle heater, psi guage on bottle, blowdown tube, RPM activated window switch, WOT switch, and remote opener. My heater does work, it heats my bottle to just above 900, I'd say 930 or so, but it is suppossed to heat all the way up to 1050. It does this at night in real cold 39 degree weather and during the day at 55 degree weather. Anyone know what the problem? thanks -------------------- www.CustomFastbackCA.com 1995 Dinan M3 Avus Blue Metallic 1967 GT Mustang Fastback (Eleanor) Ask questions if you have'em, anyone who thinks they're too cool, know's it all, or doesn't want to look stupid has more problems than you.

I have the same kit as you and my heater heats just up to that point also. 950 psi is perscribed, anything above that is considered dangerous because the N2O becomes unpredictable. If it heats up to 1050, you're asking for trouble -------------------- Go out and do something for yourself today everyone, quit depending on others -Me http://www.CaliforniaFords.com/cgi-bin/album.pl?album=00001689 Posts: 4003 | From: San Bruno | Registered: Aug 2002  |  : CustomFastbackCA ¯ Member # 1369 posted                                 Anyone also know if you are always suppossed to see a white stream and not just hear the nitrous purging? I just went and drove it, used the nitrous and felt the pull, but then I purged a bunch of times and did not see the stream just heard the noise. -------------------- www.CustomFastbackCA.com 1995 Dinan M3 Avus Blue Metallic 1967 GT Mustang Fastback (Eleanor) Ask questions if you have'em, anyone who thinks they're too cool, know's it all, or doesn't want to look stupid has more problems than you.
