BOTTLE TEMPERATURE & NITROUS PRESSURE INFO


The Relationship Between Bottle Temperatures and Nitrous Pressure

Tech note: The lower the ambient temperature, the lower the resultant bottle pressure leading to a potential fuel rich condition. Although usually not harmful to the engine, loss of optimal power can occur. On the other hand, very high ambient temperatures can lead to leaner burning conditions and loss of optimal performance as well as possible damage to engine components. NOS gauges are an excellent way to monitor problems before they can occur.

NOTE: NOS recommends a bottle pressure of 950 psi for optimum performance.
