![]() I have a '90GT with aftermarket heads/cam/intake. I went to my local drag strip on Fri. night. I recently installed a bottle warmer kit in hopes to get the most out of my nitrous system & finally get some consistent performance out of my NOS #5115 150 dry shot. Well the bottle warmer did help out. My car went quicker down the 1,320' for sure. The nitrous worked perfectly right off the launch, through 1st, 2nd & 3rd gear...but when I shifted into 4th it pretty much felt like the nitrous turned off.

![]() the solinoid makes sense, do you have a filter on the nitrous? Maby its clogged. how much bottle pressure are you spraying with?

![]() i dont know about a rebuild schedule on those. It would be interesting to know if you are getting a black cloud with those cut outs, kinda indicating a rich condition, that would also indicate the nitrous cutting off or running low

![]() Well I'm pretty sure I found the problem! My nitrous filter had a lot of debri in it. Looking through the screen...it's probably 80% clogged. The stuff clogging it looks kind of like teflon. I know not to use teflon tape on nitrous connections though. I've always used liquid teflon on all the fittings on my nitrous system. So how would chunks of teflon get embedded into the filter like that? Or is it possible that the nitrous that I just got filled into my bottle was somehow dirty?! So I'm cleaning the filter out & rebuilding my nitrous solenoids. I want to make sure none of this crap got past the filter and into the solenoids.

![]() certainly inspect the solinoids. the filter should catch most anything that would peel off the inside of a bottle. never hurts to look, since you are gonna be there anyway.
hurry up and get it runnin and let me know if its fixed!!!

![]() Will do! I'm going to the lake this weekend so I might not get to it until next weekend. I should have everything fixed by then though, for sure. Thanks for your input 84gt347.
