how much?

Chris · #1 06-06-2001, 01:07 PM

How much does it cost to install NOS. I guessed about 300-400 bucks. ALso, how much does it cost to refill a tank, adn how long does it last (on average, of course).
Thanks.

OH! Damn! My friend is getting it on his Jetta, but I don't recall the price for installing it. I'm sure it depends on the type of system, but 3-400 sounded right. Also, filling it was pretty cheap (if I remember right)...like, not even enough to worry about. The lifetime of the tank, obviously depends on how many shots you use (and how "big" each shot is) and the size of the tank. It would basically be specific to your application, so once you figure that out it would be an easy calculation.

Like, how much. $10, $25, $50, $80?? But on the Jetta, how long would it last under constant use (for the sake of argument)

what would it do if to much was in there

Chris · #5 01-25-2003, 06:40 PM

it could cause the tank to explode. Which would be like very bad, it would send shrapnel everywhere, it would also probably get hot enought to seperate the nitrogen and oxygen, so, any heat could cause things to catch fire, and it might make a fire bomb. Most likely it wouldnt though, shrapnel would be the biggest concern. Even then, there wouldnt be much.
But needless to say, dont overfill.

Where I go, it's $3.03 per pound, so about $30 the first time you fill, and then about $23 each time after that.

Also, my 10# bottle would last about 12 - 15 runs(didn't spray as much as I COULD have)

Are nitrous systems even legal in Canada? I would think it'd be quite difficult to find places to refill.. unless you know/are a dentist or something...

I don't think it is the same grade of nitrous. It might work though idunno.
Were I go it is $3.50 per pound. Be sure to get a bottle warmer it is very handy in keeping constant bottle pressure.

Well, u can get Nitrous. My dentist's friend had a car with NOS.

And dental nitrous is the same as car nitrous, it is just more refined, ie, better. So, getting dentist Nitrous is better

Thats cool more refined is always better.:thumbup:

Even if it's illegal, there should still be places to fill the bottle for strictly RACE CARS, right? Just go there. Who are they to tell you that you don't have an 8 second 1200hp monster at home, waiting for it's 50hp shot of nitrous to be refilled

dentist nitrous is not the same as car nitrous. Car nitrous has sulfur dioxide (SO2) in it so that people cant huff it. And that's why car nitrous systems stink bad when car's use it. (It smells like fart). Dentist nitrous is pure.

Car nitrous is "clean" while dentist nitrous is mixed with oxygen, this is because "clean" nitrous is too strong (in worst case it can kill you).

most companies that sell nitrous have lists of dealers that will refill the tank on their site...

worst case scenario, you could go to a welding supply store, as they have what you want.
