What switches does everyone have? Arming, Bottle OPener, Purge??

That is the one I have in my kit...

[franchise]

that looks pretty sweet.

I am not going to go with the purge. I guess I could use that with Arm, Opener and Bottle Heater??

It looks like it ouwld be pretty easy to install.

I have the Steeda one that sits in the cup holder. Heater, arm, and purge.

Why are you not going to purge your car...

[franchise]

In my experience a purge isn't necessary. The purge basically releases the vapor/air up to the solenoid. This seemed to be more frequent when I changed bottles. When I was WOT, that half second until the nitrous flowed through to the solenoid wasn't a big deal.

That is just my opinion.

Opinons??

Yeah, I agree. But at the track that half second is critical and you'd want a purge on a drag car. Street? It's for show. I don't want anyone to know my car has nitrous = no purge for me.

I should have been more to the point. I only use my system on the street and as Timber pointed out, I don't need to the big show of the purge coming out of my car.

Now, if I took my car to the track, I would agree that the half second is a little more important.

Wet or Dry systems? Wet are the only one's that need a purge system so you don't go lean.

Backwards. If you spray and have air in the lines you will be rich until nitrous is being sprayed. Unless I misunderstood...

[franchise]

I am putting in a new dry system this weekend....

I dont like purging through the motor...It is far to inconsistant...

That is not necessarily the purpose of purge. Purge is to check if the line is clean or not, and if it is fully functional. Getting nitrous is completely pointless without purge. Because you wont know if there is anything wrong with the line. Take my advise, get the purge, getting purge can save you down the road from thousands of dollars worth of damages if you start spraying and the line is blocked. Just my .02.

Well, yea, but if you got the bottles in the back seat, you could just open the bottles yourself.

I was thinking about mounting the bottle behind the passenger seat on the floor, still undecided.

I'm afraid you don't know what you're talking about! Purge is for quarter mile cars who depend on CRITICAL consistency. Anyone else who wants it has every right to buy it. Spray it at the redlight and intimidate anyone who's looking. Forgive me, but I'm not going to take your advice, you just don't know what the hell you're talking about. Your scenario about purge checking a blocked line to prevent thousands of dollars of damage doesn't hold water with me. If you run out of nitrous, blocked line, empty bottle, Devil possessed your car, whatever - you are running rich and that doesn't hurt anything. OK - fouled plugs - whatever.

There's a lot of wheat here and I appreciate hearing from it but the chaff is chapping my ass. Hint - if you're spouting what you read and don't have a clue about internal combustion engines and how they work - save it for your girlfriend. She won't know the difference.

Talking out of my ass am I? You honestly have no clue what purge is if you think its for getting a quick *second out of your car*

A separate electrically operated valve is used to release air and gaseous nitrous oxide trapped in the delivery system. This brings liquid nitrous oxide all the way up through the plumbing from the storage tank to the solenoid valve or valves that will release it into the engine's intake tract. When the purge system is activated, one or more plumes of nitrous oxide will be visible for a moment as the liquid flashes to vapor as it is released. The purpose of a nitrous purge is to ensure that the correct amount of nitrous oxide is delivered the moment the system is activated—air or gaseous nitrous oxide in the line will cause the car to "bog" until liquid nitrous oxide reaches the intake.

[Invictus]

purge just clears the line of vapors so that the lines can be filled with liquid n2o.. and eliminates the slight delay (not even noticeable)

if you purge the lines prior to spraying, the shot will be healthier but it really won't hurt anything not having purge its personal preference. he's Not going to have "1000s of dollars in engine repairs".. lol Purge is just for looks IMO the purpose it has on the system is just a plus
