does the Sniper bottle have a diffrent valve and fitting on it?
compared to the other N2O systems i mean..

 

anyone??





heres why i ask:

from here:

is that normal??

 

That valve looks way different than my valve on my NOS 10lb bottle. I would imagine its not the "high flow" valve or whatever. I always thought that the powershot solenoids were the only thing that limited that kit to making more horsepower. If I had it to do all over again (and didnt get a free kit), i would have gotten the NX Hitman kit for right around the same price.

 

Here is another pic of the bottle:

 

YES!!! , the sniper has a valve called a CGA326 which is a standard style medical nitrous valve. it has the ability regarless of what NOS says to flow a great deal of nitrous. These valves are used after a chromating/nickel plating process by NX and a few other companies as a standard valve in all thier kits. NOS usually uses a CGA660 which is a larger pattern valve. although the bottle valve itself wont fit from adapter to adapter, the bottle will fit in a bracket and the adapters are made to fit -4 and -6 nitrous lines. I know quite a few guys that own a variety of bottles using both patterns and they have two bottle adapters to put them in the car.

 

ah. cool, thats the answer i was looking for. thanks.




btw, does this mean if i raid the local hospital, i can hook up a biiiig tank to my car?

 

yes by all means get your self arrested and go to prison for $200 worth of nitrous.

 

lmao, i didnt say steal.


athough my question still remains... other then it might not having a DOT stamping, can a medical nitrous bottle be used?


because if i can find where to buy one, its probly alot cheaper then a racing shop....... not to mention, since they are often transported full, they probly DO have the stamping...

 

the only bottles a hospital or dentist has are huge iron 90P bottles which are over 5 foot long and way 250 lbs or so.

 

damn. i was hoping to find like... i donno the same size as the O2 bottles they have..... you know the ones the same size as a 10lb bottle, or the 15lb bottle only they're slightly diffrent shapes.....


*shrug*


in anycase, thanks for answering my question.

 

I've got a few hospital 5Lb bottles. They are STEEL, but only about 4" in diameter...

 

yeah I had only seen those for O2, I guess they do them blue too?

 

I don't remember, my brother has it now, but it's a darkish blue or green and it's about as long as a 15lb N2O bottle... I can look the next time I'm up there if it's important
