i've never heard anyone here using one of these or mentioning it..so i thought i would..
i was getting my bottle topped off today because i'll be out racing this weekend..i mentioned to the guy that i was having trouble keeping my bottle pressure up..and told him that i had NOS's thermostatically controlled bottle warmer..he suggested that i try using a "pressure transducer" ..its a small part that comes off of the bottle and connects to the wires of the bottle warmer..it keeps the heater on by using pressure instead of temperature..so basically the bottle warmer stays on until the bottle pressure is between 900 - 950psi..and he said his works AWESOME..and that you can run the bottle down till you have only one pound left and your psi will still be around 900..this is a part the NX sells..but will also work with NOS..i thought it was pretty cool..im definitely gonna look into one [img]smile.gif[/img]
heres T Byrne Motorsports's write-up about it..cost around $200..it is a complete kit with a new warmer and everything..not sure if you can get the transducer seperately but i imagine you would be able to..
A must for all nitrous kits and nitrous systems. All nitrous kits should run at over 900 psi bottle pressure. This 12-3/4 x 5-1/4 heater is rated at 240 watts (over 4 times our competition's heater; 60 watt). It is attached to the bottle by "D" rings and heavy nylon Velcro straps to assure a perfect tight fit so it won't slip or short out. It comes with a "super heavy duty" 40 amp anti-fly back relay (no RFI signals to interfere with electronic ignitions or computers), lighted red toggle (to remind you that it is on), and a pressure transducer to detect bottle pressure. Simply turn it on and heats bottle to 1050 PSI and shuts off. When bottle drops to 900 PSI it turns on and heats bottle to 1050 PSI. Continuous duty and cycling is controlled by transducer.
