Well Patrick and I installed the NOS nitrous solenoid rebuild kit, but during the install as it was getting dark I dropped what appeared to be a small flat metal ring that looks like a washer. It was very thin, flexible, and we think it was black. We installed the rebuild after not being able to find the part. I learned from Jason (Tapout) that the part I lost was most likely a part that got blown out, hence the reason it kept spraying after I turned it off, and we replaced it without even knowing it.

So tonight I got up the nerve to spray on the new clutch, with about 950 smooth miles on it, to try and spray. I had the bottle heater going for about 30-45 minutes and yet it never got over 550-575 PSI. I know I have enough nitrous in the bottle because the last time I sprayed was over a month ago, and I had no problem getting 1000 PSI. It could be that the gauge was a little cold and stuck, but I got the car damn hot and tapped the gauge enough to know it's probably not sticking.

I got up the NP enough to know it wasn't going any higher and activated the nitrous. I got up to 40 in 2nd, floored it and felt nothing. Grreeeeat. I'm pretty confused as to what the problem could be. I wanna just throw on another solenoid and see if that fixes the problem right there, since that would be pretty easy.

Also, I should note that after I closed the bottle up, I noticed that the NP gauge dropped about 50-75 PSI within 10 minutes or so. I get the feeling that might be too quickly.

Soooo....can anybody clarify what might be going on here? I was planning on going to the track Sunday, but it looks like that might be rained out, so this may not be too bad after all.

Thanks for reading...

 

Check and see if anything is coming out the nozzle, take it out the intake and let it spray in the bottle by pushing the WOT switch while it is activated, if that applies to the NOS kit.

It might be possible that the bottle slowly leaked out most of the nitrous, it cant hurt to go get it fully filled.
