hello,i have a 91 240sx with a nx stage one. my only problem is that the bottle pressure is way to low. i beleive it is at 600 when it is supposed to be around 900-1050. what can i do to get the pressure to 900-1050? thanks

um, i'm not really an incredibly nitrous-knowledgeable guy, but do you have a bottle heater?

When i used to intern we had very few nitrous installs without bottle heaters.

Uh.

PV = nRTP = nRT/V

So, you can:

1) decrease the size(V) of the bottle

2) put more **** into the bottle (n)

3) heat the bottle (T)

4) change the universal gas constant (R)Disclaimer: I'm not responsible for any problems that may occur from altering the laws of physics.

Unless of course your bottle can't HOLD 900-1050psi, in which case you're pretty SOL.

yes thats why they make them. it keeps the bottle at a certain temperature so the pressure is consistant.
