Need N20 gauge with NANO? Gearing up to install my first nitrous system on my car and going to be using NANO. According to the NANO instructions the nitrous will hit the noid at 950psi when in the proper temp range and it also says this:
So do I really need to use a nitrous gauge as long as I keep the nitrous bottle in the proper temp range?
Thanks.
You can tell how much nitrous oxide is left in your nitrous oxide bottle by referencing the pressure gauge on the side of your NANO bottle. Although not a direct gauge, the amount of pressure drop in this cylinder is directly proportional to the use of nitrous oxide in your nitrous oxide bottle. Use your NANO pressure gauge to approximate the amount of nitrous oxide left in your nitrous bottle. (It’s accuracy assumes you properly filled your NANO Cylinder to 4500 psi and nitrous oxide bottle to its rated weight at the same time).
When you first turn on your NANO System the NANO bottle pressure will immediately drop to about 4100 PSI as the system stabilizes. This is the reference pressure showing when your bottle is full. If you have a 10lb nitrous bottle, your NANO gauge will show about 1200 PSI when you have used up the available liquid nitrous (one lb left).

OK, sounds like a gauge is the way to go. I'm trying to keep the gauges to a minimum so I might use an in line gauge after the filter so I could still see it from in the car but if I get a remote gauge is it ok to put the sending unit right before the noid?

yep, pressure can and will go higher then 950psi on hot days. Somtimes too high to use IMO. For the price of a mechanial inline gauge its stupid not to do one but thats just me.
