So Ive tried searching, but I cant find an answer. I think I know the answer but I am hoping I am wrong. Ive got the bottle mounted in the well where the passenger backseat was. Im looking at doing a NANO kit but need to do a blow down tube kit to keep it legal for the tracks....So how can I run the nano kit and a blow down tube?

Thanks for the help!

nano hooks up to the gauge port and leaves access to the blow down tube connection....at least thats my understanding

Correct. ^^^

Yes the NANO kit will hook into the gauge port. If your bottle valve does not have a gauge port you will need a NANO sport kit.

Pardon the stupid question, as Im a visual person, I lose the nitrous gauge on the bottle then correct?

Assuming I run a blow down tube, which I need to pass tech.

yes, i believe you can run an adapter fitting off the gauge port so that you can have both the gauge and nano hookup, i dont have nano yet but i run my gauge on a fitting after the nitrous filter along the main line.

Some bottle valves have two ports. I switched my Dynotune bottle valve for an NX Valve.

I'm not using a bottle gauge. Have a pillar pod gauge instead.

Braided Blow down line on right.

I'm installing a nano kit right now and have a question.

Do you have to turn the bottles on or off in any certain order?

No either one first is fine. Normally the NANO on first then the nitrous bottle.

Here is how I have mine:






The blue is the ss blow down tube port thingy.


I did it this way so I can always have a reading on the bottle even when it is closed, but I guess thats kind of pointless with a nano system, lol.

baka, with the gauge there, arent you really only getting a reading of what pressure the nano is putting in the bottle and not what the bottle is putting out?

I haven't been able to put it in since I got it in the fall and its been too cold, but here is my thought on it: If the nano is closed, it is still before the regulator, so whatever pressure the bottle is putting out, it is still being read by the gauge, get what I am saying? Bottle - gauge - Regulator - Nano

So when the Nano is closed, the regulator does not allow the nitrous to leave the bottle, so it is still being read.

Here is the other thing I am thinking, since the hpa/hpn the nano put in the nitrous bottle keeps it at 1050 psi static, would it matter if I have a gauge reading the bottle since it will always be at 1050 psi because the hpa/hpn will always fill up the empty space? I guess the only time there will be a pressure difference is when it is really cold or really hot, but generally, the pressure should always read 1050 psi?
