3: why do they need to be purged??
4: i want to get a 35lb bottle so that i'll have more and have to fill up less...is this a good idea or it doesn't matter either way....and how many 50-75 shots can i get out of that size bottle??

1. Keeps the pressure up and gives you a steady hard shot. If you have low bottle pressure the solenoids have a hard time pulling the nitrous from the bottle and your nitrous will sort of "sputter".
2. Not n20 related I don't think...Don't know:confused:
3. After you make a nitrous run, you have left over nitrous in the lines running from the bottle to the engine. Purging drags this extra N20 out of the lines and disposes of it into the atmosphere to that your lines are "clean" and ready for the nest nitrous run.
4. 35lbs!?!? That's insanely huge. The most I've ever seen for normal street use is a 15lb bottle. And even that's pretty big for a small shot like that. I would say go with a 10lb and call it a day. You'll get 15 or so nitrous quarters from a 10lb bottle jetted for a 50-75 shot.

A 35 lb bottle would cost you $122.5 to fill it up. Thats not a good idea, plus it adds more weight to the car. IU have a 10lb bottle and last night I went to the track and made 5 passes spraying a 60 shot and i have about 7lbs of n2o still in the tank. And yes if you get a N20 kit get a bottle heater, it is a must b/c when you spray the N20 is in movement and it seems to get colder and the pressure drops some every time you use it. Good luck with the N20.
