Nitrous pressure line vs bottle

Anonymous · Post by **Anonymous** » Sun Apr 03, 11 8:22 pm

Ok go easy on the ford guy.....have a bottle pressure gauge...on the bottle, just mounted one on my cowl as well.
Is/should line pressure the same as bottle pressure ?
May sound like a silly question but just thought Id ask

Yes

Have you also put a petrol pressure guage in ( nitrous side )?

I would pay more attention to petrol pressure ( nitrous side ). I set my fuel regulator up with a calibrated guage similar to this. Set my fuel pressure at 6.8 psi guage ( whilst my holley guage indicated 10 psi ) on the nitrous side and 7 psi guage at the carb.

I agree with Jon the gauge readings can vary to actual readings we physically checked the fuel flow rates to be sure on the fuel.

Think you should pick up the phone & talk to Adam . . .

Thanks for the replies, Im running EFI so will sort a gauge out when funds allow, again I have one underhood but will sort one for cowl.
I have Adams number but obviously my setup if different to a carb re; pressure etc;

I totally agree with Jon......most important is Fuel Pressure, you don't get enough volume, you'll tip plugs and possibly the tops/sides of your pistons, also pay attention to your total timing in relation to the amount you use, CR and set up, guess you got that sorted.
