I just got in my nitrous kit to discover my secondary bottle is on backorder so ill only be running one bottle with a 150 shot.... how many runs will i even get with one 10 lb bottle. I am thinking of buying some more bottles on ebay real quick so i dont get screwed over when i race at competitions.
150 shot on a 350Z?!
What kind of #'s are you getting?
I'm running a 75 shot, it's hard to put a actual number but if I had to guess, I probably can get about 15 or so 1/4 mile passes before I need a refill.

389 quoted whp and 401 wtq. so if you get 15 runs out of your 75 i should get say 7? In two weeks ill post an update on what i run at the track with this sick setup. also question, what happens when you do run out of nitrous, does just the fuel jet still work or what, i dont get what happens, does your engine run really rich once u run out?
Also remember to watch your pressure. If you have a bottle mounted in an ideal location (facing forward at the correct angle), you still shouldn't let it get less than 20% full. You chances of getting a full shot at a high enough pressure is diminished. Using 150 shot (assuming full shot and not progressive) and a 10lb bottle, I'd say 5-6 passes if you are spraying off the line or nearly off the line.

from the NX site, that should help you calculate how long the bottle will last:
Q. How long will a bottle of nitrous last?
A. That depends on the level of power being produced. The formula for calculating your nitrous usage is: 0.8 lbs N2O X 10 seconds = 100 horsepower. I.E. If your system is jetted for 100 horsepower it will use 0.8 lbs of nitrous for every 10 seconds of usage.

hhaha, maybe ill do 5 runs on one bottle then swap out to the next bottle. also can you fil up a bottle when its not totally empty or do you gotta purge all the nitrous out before you fill em back up?
