Default One bottle ran through it!!!!! Bs!!!!!

Why does everyone that sells a nitrous kit say that only one bottle has been run through it? I have been running nitrous for 10 years and on every car I have put it on I usually run through 2-3 bottles the first week alone.

Someone enlighten me and say they only put one bottle through their kit and sold it. I'm just finding it hard to believe. I'm not ******* on anyone in general just curious as to whether people actually run ONE BOTTLE through their kits.

It sounds like your trigger happy or drive alot because 2-3 bottles a week is alot. Not unless you got a big shot or purge it alot.

I only put about a 1/2 of bottle through my cobra before I sold the kit and car. The bottle still had 6Lbs of nitrous left in it when I dropped the kit off to a local buyer.

I'm a little trigger happy when I first put it on. I like to see where my traction problems are so I use it a lot the first week or two to make sure everything works properly and iron out traction problems.

After that its only a bottle every 1-2 weeks depending on the weather (summertime is closer to 1 a week, winters because of bad weather its a bottle every two weeks)

Haha, mine has definitely had more than one bottle run through it and I haven't had the nitrous on it too long. 2-3 bottles a week must get expensive!

Friend of mine got a NX wet kit for a graduation present. He got the car tuned and the tuner told him he needed to upgrade his pump before it would be safe to spray the car as it went lean on the dyno because of a pressure drop. That was 3 years ago and he still hasn't sprayed it. It does happen sometimes.

Kit I sold had less than a full bottle through it. Reason being, the nearest refill station was an hour away, and most of the time the car had it I was hardly driving it anyway, spraying it even less. Got rid of the kit when I got rid of the car

If I had a refill station that wasn't an hour away, and I actually drove that car more, I'm sure I would have went through lots of bottles

I've had 2 kits on the car and literally only run 1 bottle through each kit.

Since I have a fuel pump and a tune on hte car now I will definitely be putting more nitrous through this kit

i only ran 2 tanks through my old car, but most was spent purging to make sure all my lines were good and freezing stuff(it was already outta my car). i pulled it before i blew something and it wasnt fast enough to make it worth it.
