sooo im lookn to rout my purg and am wondering what kind of tubing you guys use?? i bought some 3/16 aluminum and its not long enough for what i want it for so i was wondering if anyone is useing the stuff from maunal boost guages that nylon stuff is that ok for the purg....were takn the stuff AFTER the solinoid where it vents to atmosphere

 

woo woo wooo not so many replys please i cant read them all one at a time!...ttt

 

Yes, the nylon tube is fine. Just be aware that it'll fly around unless you tie it down real good to somewhere stable.

 

the nylon stuff is not fine it will break. get the copper lining they sell it at advanced auto or pepboys or autozone. its usually next to the nylon lining its like 5 or 10 dollars more and eazy to route.

 

I used the tubing from NX and I blew a hole in it I used same stuff as the boost controller stuff, I blew a hole in it. I think the SS tubing is the way to go.

 

I used a piece of copper tubing

 

copper tubbing or brake line tubing

 

I don't exactly see why not. Yes, it's more fragile than say SS or copper. Maybe you guys are purging for too long to freeze up the nylon, and making it more fragile. Purging for less than a second will do the job and for that, nylon is fine.

With that said, I'm not saying nylon is the best choice. I would personally go with copper tubing, but for what it's worth nylon isn't bad.

 

I've been using nylon tubing on a dual purge system for over a year now, and I haven't had a single problem.
I'm using brass compression fittings to put everything together. Works great.

 

niceee right on guys! time to set my **** upppp

 

no need to purge! my .02

 

To me purging is for my piece of mind to know that the N20 is in the lines..it would suck to have the n20 come on and dump nothing but fuel.

Plus its a crowd pleaser although most of the people that come to the drag strip to watch aren't the sharpest tools in the shed, so it doesn't take much to get them excited

 

Tom, you know I like you but that makes no sense at all.

It's two different solenoids so even if the purge works that does not guarantee that the NO2 solenoid will activate.

Both the fuel and nitrous solenoids should be connected to the same power and ground source so there is slim possibility of them firing separately, But it can still happen.

A NO2 pressure gauge will tell you how full your bottle is because it wont build pressure even with a blanket and no one on here should be spraying under 850 psi.

But, if you like to get the crowd rilled up, then purge away.

 

I did not know that. I guess I need to do some more reading.

 

It's cool Tom, I didn't know **** about NO2 until I read the instructions and installed my kit.

But yeah, the purge is on a separate solenoid then the actual NO2 solenoid.

You waiting for the new tranny before you put some times down?

 

I know the purge will get the air out of the lines. After I re read my comment, I guess it doesn't make sense the way I wrote it. What I meant was that since I don't have a remote bottle opener, that when I purge the line I know then that I opened the bottle and the n20 is flowing..

Hope that makes sense

Yes, just waiting on the tranny.

 

You might also want to considering purging after a run. Solenoid seals can be damaged if left under high pressure for to long.
BTW I've used a nylon purge line for 2 years, no problem.

 

i just bout some break lines and got evertything routed and tonight im goin to finish up the kit... i noticed that my tank leaks from the auto shut off for the balnket at the screw inbetween the wire leads...does there need to be electricty goin to the auto off for it to hold pressure??

 

No, you have a problem!

 

damnnn sucks 2 be me huh?!
