Default Pressure Pro Nitrous Regulator

Does anyone have information regarding this product from Wilburn Motor Sports.
PRESSURE PRO NITROUS REGULATOR
The Pressure Pro nitrous bottle regulator is a great way to control nitrous bottle pressure. The Pressure Pro is adjustable from 500-1100psi and is accurate down to 1psi. With a Pressure Pro you will no longer have to "purge down" to your desired bottle pressure. The Pressure Pro eliminates excessive purging keeping more nitrous in your bottle for better performance and your outlet pressure deadly consistant for accurate tuning. The Pressure Pro works on any nitrous system, wet or dry. There are two Pressure Pros available, the original Pressure Pro flows 125hp @ 900 psi, features 1/8npt inlet and outlets and is gauge ported. The Pressure Pro II flows 500hp @ 900 psi, features 1/4npt inlet and outlet and is also gauge ported.

Nitrous regulators don't really work all that well. Some of the problems you will run into is that the nitrous will phase change after the regulator and freeze everything after it. I think if you were running gaseous nitrous it would probably work ok. Regulators are simple enough that if they worked well they would be more prominent in the nitrous world.

sounds a little suspicious, but why would someone use their very first post on the site to pimp a non-sponsor product? Also, you ask for information, and the link you posted had a magazine article on the item and you just posted a big paragraph full of information?

How much information do you need?

He was on at 7:30 PM, I am sure he saw this and won't post anymore, or make a new screen name to try again.

NOS has a new one coming that is very similar called the "POD" Preasure on Demand. Seems like it's very close to what you are describing, other than the NOS actually heats the bottle to maintain the set preasure.

I don't think it should phase change if you're flowing it in the liquid form. You will get that flowing gaseous nitrous from Joule/Thompson effect of flowing through a restricting orifice which causes the gas to cool, sometimes enough to make it liquify and ice the regulator. I'm actually a gas engineer, and we do have a 44,000lb nitrous system on site (flowing gaseuos nitrous around 6-700 psi), and when it got real hot this summer to heat up the trailer pressure, and equipment was pulling high flow, I came out to a regulator encased in a block of ice

But regardless, as far as this product goes I don't see a reg doing too well of a job regulating the liquid nitrous at 1100 psi, and besides which when it gets hit with that liquid after a few seconds, its bound to freeze up if you flow long enough.

The nitrous regulator is great in theroy, but lacks in real world use, imo. There is one other company (claims to be the inventor, haha) that has one, but really is not needed, just a manual heater and a purge, simple as that. If they really were all that great don't you think all the manufacturers would have one?

I would guess an automatic heater (set for say 1000psi) is really the best way to go when it comes to maintaining consistant bottle pressure. Then a pressure switch set at like 1150 or something and connected to a solenoid to purge.

Another simple cure for pressure drop is to run dual 15lb bottles.

I think this is probably the best option, just add more volume.
