Mounting nitrous bottle sideways??
Mounting nitrous bottle sideways?? If I mount the bottle in the bottom of the "well" (top of bottle pointing towards the passenger side), do i need to point the bottle outlet towards the front of the car to enable the siphon tube to pickup at the bottom?
I have my bottle sideways, valve up, and works fine...the syphon tube need to be down and i even rotate the bottle a little to get max pu considering acceleration. FWIW I am repositioning the bottle to a position parallel with acceleration. (Assuming I am going in a straight line).
Thanks for the replies...I found this with more digging and it seems to be a good explanation:
Ok the side ways mounting. The valve is on the passenger side of the car and the bottom of the bottle is on the drivers side. ( the bottom of the bottle is the large flat area).
Now you are standing on the passenger side of the car, looking at the top of the handwheel. The bottle valves outlet or bottle nipple is aimed slightly to the rear of the car. 7 o clock. If you were looking from the drivers side it would be 5 o'clock.
The main thing here is to think what happens to the liquid nitrous on launch, how does it move in the bottle. The opening to the dip tube all ways needs to be in liquid for best performance. And since liquid will try to go backwards that is were you will want the dip tube.
