Please bear with me, I'm a complete novice when it comes to some things.

I've read in various places that purging a nitrous line results in an impressive display. An impressive display of what?

And while I have your attention, in "The Fast and the Furious", why were flames shooting out of their tail pipes prior to the race in the street race scene? Maybe this is a related question.

Thanks!

When you purge your NOS lines, you just get a big cloud of NOS coming out, but it looks kinda cool. Flames coming out the tailpipe were just special effects.

 

The flames are special effects. Real top fuel type dragsters do that kinda thing, so I guess they figured it would look neat. I'm not all that familiar with the whole ricing thing, but I've never seen anyone who has put anything like that on a real car they drive.

With the top fuel dragsters the flames are the result of unburnt fuel igniting on the way out of the exhaust pipe. I may be way out of my league, but I don't think a car with a catalytic convertor can do that.

Okay, so the cloud comes out from under your hood? Or do you run the purge line back to the rear of the car? Does it make a sound when you do it?

Purging the NOS is mainly to clean the lines for a "true" & better NOS hit. It is also for show... just purging & attention wise.

As far as teh falmes, in F&F, it was special effects.

This can be answered a few ways. Some cars have spark plugs back there to create the flame look. Second, when cars really do have flames coming out (not having plugs) its a big back fire. This usually only happens on high hp producing engines.

 

 

ya when you purge you get a big cloud of white smoke and a nice noise. it's more for show. if synki had a 100shot and purged as much as he did he would have even more traction problems than me. and you have to get rid of you cat to even have a chance of the flames thing. unless you want to spray gas through a line out your tailpipe after the cat.

 

how about jsut purging your nos out your exhaust after the cat?

 

OMG YOUR ALIVE, what's up man.

 

RX-7 shot flames out the tailpipe when he used to do burnouts....was kinda tight, sounded like gunshots!

 

how about ... no.

 

Nitrous isn't flammable you fool, that would do nothin except maybe cool down your exhuast.

 

correct, nos is only an oxidizer. it's accelerates combustion but is not by itself. if you had a s/c or turbo with an I/C you could spray a small shot of nos onto the cooler to get a nice cool charge. but spraying nos out your tailpipe would do nothing except maybe kill the guy behind you.

 

wrong board ross... try these:

lol, you must be bored to be on maxima.org

 

Thats how aircraft with afterburners work. They spray additional fuel right before the exaust and it ignites. A small fuel line is probaly the way to go.

 

OT
sx7r: what springs do you have?? i liek the drop

 

you run all the line and try it them get back to us. or maybe not, since you be DEAD.

 

This looks familiar.

 

rotflmfao

 

your a sick bastard man.

 

lmao wtf......

 

i've got cattman coilovers.

 

hey...where does your purge line exit....

 

up your..... nevermind.

 

here:

 

Or make him laugh

 

if you open your bottle and do not use NOS how do you shutdown?
Do you close the bottle and purge? Is purging necessary to clear out the line?

 

i can see that....but exactly where....Out your windsheild washer nozzel???

 

there's a line from the solenoid that comes out behind the hood in the center.

 

omg that looks devilish

 

You can shut off the bottle and purge, or just get the RPM's up while your driving, gun it, sqeeze for a sec (that's all thats coming out is a tiny bit anyway) and then your line is clear.

 

ya once the bottle is closed you can just hit it for a second and it all will be gone.
