stupid n2o ???

how much liquid do you lose when warming your tank? and is this directly related to what is in the tank ie. full vs say 2lbs?

liquid? warming?.....

warming your tank doesnt make you lose any of the liquid...just expands into gas lol

exactly, and you want the liguid flowing to the noid not the gas. so how much do you lose to gas expansion?

please work with me and read between the lines.

thats a damn good question but you dont lose any to the gas since there is a siphon tube that goes from the bottle valve to the bottom of the bottle. when you heat it, it turns some of the liquid to gas for pressure to push the liquid through the siphon tube. when you use a heater you pretty much get every drop outta the bottle vs not usin a heater. and after the bottle cools back off the gas turns back to liqiud.

Its just expanding under the increased temperature, but since its in a confined space, sealed in a bottle, it just increases in pressure.

the only way you would be injecting air instead of liquid is if maybe the bottle was close to empty id say. other than that nothing is lost as far as whats in the bottle. the warmer just increases pressure but doesnt turn the whole contents into gas...

that's what i was thinking, but i wanted to be sure. i figured it didn't take much to build up pressure. and i knew you weren't losing liquid in a sealed bottle, duh, it was just the way i worded the question. i just wanted a better idea of how much liquid would expand into gas to build the pressure up.

are you going to run the tune with your 75 shot? or are you upping it straight to the 150 before you do anything? just wanting to know what to expect out of mine when its all done. what kind of dyno numbers you put down on the 75 shot?

i haven't dyno'd the shot yet and i had a short at the track so my system failed. it likes to make an ass of me every now and again. 150 shot won't be until after my NA build. but i'll have a write up later today after i download the tune. it's at my post office now.
