Default NANO System

How do you guys feel about NANO Systems vs. NO System w/ a bottle heater. Also, how much more expensive is the NANO system, round figures?

I love my NANO. I'll never run a bottle heater again. Nothing like opening the bottle and the NANO and having 1000psi till I shut them.

Nano is ~$450 and up till $6xx

not to steal the thunder but does nano help say when the bottle is getting low. Like right now when i get down to 3 or 4 lbs I just open the bottle and **** away the nitrous basically cause the hit just sucks down the track. Would def by the nano if it would let me get a pass or two more in per bottle

that basically says it all right there. i don't even want to think about miserable bottle heaters anymore. getting bottle too hot, losing pressure after a run, etc...

not only can you get ever last bit of nitrous out of the bottle, but the nano pressure gauge acts as a nitrous level indicator.

nano kit is worth every penny, but if you skip the bottle heater and add up all the nitrous you'd be wasting without it, it pays for itself (eventually after many bottles - though you could also argue that a twin turbo setup pays for itself using the same logic).

If I didn't have 4 full bottles right meow, I would be going with NANO this winter. But there's no way I'm gonna **** away a couple hundo worth of juice.
I am interested in what kind of tuning adjustments you have to make fore the top end though? I find a little comfort in the fact that my tuneup goes a touch rich on the big end due to bottle pressure loss.



Also, I don't believe the HSW valves are compatible with a push setup. I'd have to break one apart to see how the gauge port is setup.

How long does the nano bottle last? Do track allow it? The main reason I would want this is because when you race for money you want the correct bottle pressure quick and I hate worrying if my heater will bring the pressure up quick enough.

The nano system is the shiznit .

It has been proven to keep bottle presure consistant at the big end of the track .

A 150 shot on the big end will drop to around 100-115 hp because of the presure drop.

So with the nano system your 150 shot stays at 150 hp .

And Addict , im getting the system for the same reasons

The system comes with a bottle valve that has an extra inlet port .

It screws into all the popular bottles ("most" all bottle have the same ID threads)

Check with Nano to see if the bottle threads are compatable .

nano kit basically just forces air into the top of the nitrous bottle (uses the port you'd have the pressure gauge on), it keeps the nitrous bottle at a set pressure even when you're spraying.

Its good for alittle power too. We have a car in the shop with a 331 KB 2.8h blower, and two stages of nitrous. On the first stage, the car makes 700-704rwhp almost every pull. Thats with a 6an feed and two 10 pound bottles. Switching to Nano, on the same pill...exact same everything, 770rwhp with nano and a single 10pound. Was able to hold 1000psi the whole pull

Our current valves are not Nano compatable. All the current valves that are on the market that we could use we do not care for. Your best bet for under 225 hp is the NX valve that sells for around 40.00 and a universal sport system from nano. If spraying more there competition system with the reworked NOS valve is good for over 500 hp.

Air over liquid .

The compressed air sit on top of the liquid and forces the liquid to exit through the syphon tube sitting in the bottom of the bottle .
