Default NANO not full..

What will happen if I only have roughly 1500psi in my nitrogen bottle, on a full 10lb nitrous bottle.

I cannot for the life of me find someone to fill this thing, ESPECIALLY today!

i would just wait until you can fill it. You want to dial in the A/F ratio after you get everything setup since the NANO will change it. Depending on what your bottle pressure is at right now, you could probably spray it. Though you will not get the full benefit of the NANO system if the bottle isnt full.

im only worried about pressure, I have 125 jets on the fuel side on nitrous side, as when it was on the dyno, thats what it worked best with.

Do you have the 3000 or the 4500 system? My suggestion is don't spray it until you have a full charge. You might be able to get by for a run if you have the 3000 system because it has a bigger NANO bottle.

do you have 125/125 jets in right now? As long as you have adequate bottle pressure then you should be fine. With a full nano bottle and full nitrous bottle i would expect that jetting to be slightly lean, just as i noted in the other thread. Having consistent A/F ratio is dependent on having a consistent setup. if you tuned the car with both bottles full, your A/F ratio should be fatter on a half empty nano bottle. I think you said you were 11.3 before, so you might be closer to 10.0 now, in which case you dont want to run it at all

Yeah, I don't think it's as bad because it's the 3K setup. You might get a run or 2 out of it depending on how full your nitrous bottle is.

That's pretty low. Get it filled, imo. If not, it may help slightly, but if you have a low bottle pressure, your tune will be off. Just open it up and you will see what I am tlking about. If your n2o bottle is at 600psi and your nano is at 1500psi it will just even out to around 900psi. But you will definately get pressure drop through the run and it will get worse each run, meaning a lower starting N2O/NANO pressure and worse a/f ratio each time. This is why they rec a fresh fill each time you fill your nitrous bottle, so it works as engineered.

We all need to keep our ducks in a row for safety. I wouldn't be running my combo with an incorrect a/f ratio. Once Brad sees this he will likely help you find a fill station.

my nano refused to make good pressure today. the first time i used it. i turned it on, the pressure went to about 910. temp was 70 degrees. refused to go to 1050. nano was full.

If your NANO gauge showed series-3000psi or series-4500psi, then you must have a restriction or the valve it self, or gauge incorrect? have you used it already?

i dont know what the restriction would be. that was the first time i was using it. ran it a couple times on the dyno. i was under the impression the pressure would be around 1050 all the time.

thanks robert. You are correct, seemed to settle at around 900psi. I sprayed the car for 2-4 seconds, thats it, figured I would save everything.

p.s. I should be ok with a full bottle of Nitrogen, and the very minuscle amount of nitrous I used I assume.

im still stumped/concerned Why we are having to use matching jets to get the AFR we want. I remember the car when it was on the dyno, my tuner and myself was watching BOTH AFR gauges (his and mine) and throughout the run it wasnt getting leaner at all.

remeber to always start with a full nano vs. full nitrous bottle. It will not perform the same if its not a matched full set.

If you are anywhere near central Jersey shore I can help you out. I have a 6000 psi master tank that I refill my 4500psi bottle with... Just let me know and we'll work it out...
