damn bro i know how you feel, not as much on the chunk of change because i was lucky enough to get them for 1/2 cost when i want more wheels, but i know what the technospeeds go for.

if it makes you feel any better my passenger rear cylinder snapped off the top mount last night, it was loud and AWESOME.. not really.

ive spent countless hours trying to work on some custom mounts that would put less stress on the cylinder and more on the frame, and also make the car lower.. the car goes in the shop this week to fix the broken upper mount and try to make the car lower.

thanks

i talked to a guy in my club who is also on NX's team and he said they told him if he is only purging he doesnt need a blow down tube... they also said that he shouldnt fill the bottle all the way either because it is the cabin of the car, so i guess i'll fill 1 bottle and go from there.

thanks

Interesting.

I would fill just 1 bottle all the way. I'd fill each bottle half way..keep the pressure in the bottles down.

All nitrous bottles have a pressure relieve seal as standard. If the pressure gets too high, the valve will just vent. If you have a blow down tube, you can route the gas to where ever you want. ie. outside of the car. If you DO NOT have a blow down tube, it will just vent where it's mounted. ie. trunk, passenger compartment. Purging and blow down tube are not really related.

NX sent me every jet I think, because when asked I didn't know.. I don't play on sprayin, just purging.

I'll probably sell the jets, I think have like 7 of them or so.

sell it for a down payment on a s/c or turbo, maybe someone will sponsor you for that , your car would be complete with either one of those.....but that's just my opinion

well all along ive thought the SC is worthless because i prefer the tuneability of the turbo and the overall way it works.. BUT, the turbo kits out for autos have piping that go 2.5" below the tranny and my tranny sits an inch off the ground when all the way down.

ive explored the options.. 5spd and a turbo would be the only way it could fit, but thats more money to spend

good thought though..
