Default No need for heater with NANO....

So you dont use a heater at all?
With NANO you dont need a bottle heater to bring up the bottle pressure because the compressed NANO air is regulated to provide a constant 1050 PSI.

Do you know of any place in memphis to do the 4500 refill? If someone is running two 10lb bottles Y'ed together do they need 2 nano kits?

buddy has the 3000 setup on his car. works great. Only PITA is getting it filled. There is 1 paintball shop and he has only had it filled to 3k once. It's usually like 2600 to 2800.

most other places don't have the fitting needed to do it.


He is prob going to sell his setup soon. (going turbo)

the NANO worked great, spot on. Now forgeting the computer at home to tune in the nitrous controller costed me the 1k dollar race.

oh well, there is always next week.

and Thanks Brad for all the help! you have AWESOME customer service!!!

I run the NANO in my 2001 Corvette. Have a cam, air box, pulley, 3600 stall torque convertor, 3.73 gear, with a 150 shot.
Best pass to date has been a 10.40 at 131 mph. I have run a slower et with 134.5 mph speed.
Love my NANO and Brads willingness to take my stupid calls.





New 10lb bottle arrived not to long ago.

I got the info pack from Brad and it looks like I will be adding this to my nitrous kit. Hopefully this will be my ticket to get me on the stock ci nitrous list.

Cars that run in serious classes and are the "big time nitrous drag guys" are limited to what they are allowed to do. Most of the time they are not allowed to run a nano system or even bottle heaters. They use things like a tank full of hot water to heat up the bottles.

A guy I know who went from a heater to nano gained 2 tenths in the 1/8th just and example

Yes people have fit both bottles in the spare tire compartment. I have a few pics of this. If you want send me your email address and ill send some over. I tryed posting them on here but am having errors this morning.

Your nitrous will need to be re-tuned. Most of the time it is just a fuel or nitrous jet swap that we can help you here with.

I run the 4500 psi kit...biggest drawback Ive had is keeping the NOS bottle within temp so it works as designed. In the summer (Tx heat) I have to put icebags on the nitrous tank so the temps stay low enough to allow the pressure tank to work.

I run nano with very good results. It beats having to wait for a heater to warm up

Those of you filling at a paintball place, are you using CO2 instead of nitrogen?

No, plain old compressed air.
