Anyone ever try this bottle heater idea?
Anyone ever try this bottle heater idea? Seems like the big game is getting the dang bottle heated up quickly, but evenly. I was thinking.. (scary. I know).. of tapping off the radiator line (on the C5 there's a line to the throttle body.. not sure about the others) and running that back to bottle. Wrap a few turns of copper tubing around the base of the N2o bottle and regulate it all with a flow control switch. Would be pretty easy and you'd have a 200* bottle heater.

Todd I can't imagine this being a 100% original idea, but...No, I am not aware of anyone using a "cool can" (cool cans wrap alum tubing around inside a bucket to cool fuel) approach to heat the bottle. I think it would be less weight, and less complex to use a good quality heater like Dynotunes Auto, NX/860 bracket etc. Some ppl use the Hotbox, which only takes a minute or two to get a bottle up to pressure.

I don't think its a bad idea. You will have to be carefull not to overheat the bottle though.
Another idea along these lines would be to put a heater core next to your bottle and hook a pressure switch up to a fan, so the fan would blow the hot air over your bottle, and when the bottle gets up to temp it would shut off.

or is that what the flow control switch would be used for?
