If your looking for consistancy yes.
Watch a car purge the first time after the bottle is opened, there is a little delay as the air in the line gets pushed out before the nitrous hits the end of the purge line.

Your first hit will have that little bit of air in it unless you purge it.

Is there a safety hazard if i dont purge it?


Im wondering because we sprayed about 8 times after we installed my kit, without the purge hooked up. Its getting hooked up tonight, but i am hearing 2 different things: 1. Its dangerous not to purge, and 2. You dont really need to purge anything under like a 125-150 shot.

Just wondering what is right. We didnt have any problems with any of the sprays we did.

You don't REALLY need a purge kit at all.

the are not a must, like stated above by Beer just gets all of the air out of the line when first opening the bottle. dont sweat not purging before now, not hurting anything. it does make some people intimadated when you are crusing and purge on them

Striped Zebra, I love my old tires and rims on your ride sweet. You need a purge, I'm running one and if your gonna mess with the juice, do it right, the purge is real nice and easy enough to install. Most parts for Nitrous are not a must have, but they keep everything easier. If you took the time out to make your ride look good, take the time out to keep it running safely. If you cut corners with the juice, your gonna get burned.

Thanks again man! I love the way they look, especially when theyre clean.


I got the purge hooked up tonight. Gotta get my main line fixed tomorrow morning.

I sprayed about 6 75 shots the night we got it hooked up. Now the purge is in and i bumped it up to a 125 ( i hope). Jets are 51 nitrous 34 fuel. Supposed to be 54 n20 34 fuel, but i dont have a 54. Should be fine and close enough right?
