They do have a purpose.

They're intended to clear the lines that carry the nitrous to the jets without the nitrous entering the engine.

However, the run of the mill chav will not have any interest in this kind of function.

[Davey]

That doesnt explain their purpose, why "clear" the lines of n2o using yet more n2o?

scooby_matt

Two reasons;

1) Stops potention blockages
2) Freezes the lines so the nitrous is as cold as possible - giving more power

[Davey]

Blockages?? Somethings seriously wrong if you can block a hose with compressed gas!

And wont it be cold as soon as the solinoids open in the engine bay and the gas begins to condensate in the hoses again?

Come on we all know its just for show Next you'll be telling me 19" wheels make your car handle better and go faster

criscoob

well oh my god what a fooking muppet! i mean alot of you fellas on here would definately say that me and my beloved impreza are both chavs and for that i dont give a toss because i could never beat this ***********, what the hell is he going on about? this lad sounds like a tit i think you should all invite him to a meet in his under 5sec to 60 neoned beast simply so everyone can have the satisfaction of pointing at him and laughing lots!!!

scooby_matt

Just going with what I was told by a guy I spoke to who supplied kits. He explained it far better than me and it did make alot of sense when he told me. Much more science involved that you'd imagine, but most of it went over my head.

[Davey]

Dont forget this a bloke trying to sell you something, he'd probably tell you black is white if you get the cash out!

It wasnt a certain company near Kent by anychance was it?

scooby_matt

He wasn't trying to sell me any, he was supplying a few kits to a shop I happened to be in at the time - I just decided to try and picks his brains and ended up more confused than when I started, and shocked at the mark-up the shop was going to put on the kits!

The Roger Clark prepared Team Ice, seriously quick, newage STi has a purge valve for it's NOS system, it is a genuine funtionaly used piece of kit

Sold for £2k!!!

Poor unfortuntate soul that bought this.

chief-long-shin

Not sure but we have someone else to quiz now

Bad bad thought but maybe we should devote a thread to asking bizarre questions to ebay sellers for those with the dodgy adverts.

Terrible i know but there could be some commendable answers.

[Davey]

Oh my god! eBay muppets strike again! The other halfs 94' WRX, saloon, manual only cost £400 more than that and its got the same mileage

MickWrx

it is sad, but for entertainment value 8/10

just put your foot down and it goes... pmsl is that not the the plan.

NorthDownsScooby

That's hardly a problem with the "WATER RESEVARE" as he put it. More like "the radiators fooked!"

Lying ****e

Gary C

Ahh, does it purge the NOS lines with CO2.

So, he is lying, trying to cover up a water leak by pretending its a purge kit.

what a prat.

richardg

it would also need enalrged pedals of course, to ensure you could drive it safely with over-sized clown shoes - otherwise it would just be plain dangerous as a clown car

imprezadan1

good god.what a bunch of w*nkers u lot are.what just because the bloke doesnt seem well educated or spell correctly?sorry not every one can be pretencious ****** like yourselves.The bloke is moving house has a large family and running a scooby lets face it financially that takes some doing.Hes probably just done the best he can,granted it will not be to everyones taste but neither will all of our cars be,every one has there own opinion on whats tasteful and personally ripping a bloke apart for his seemingly lack of education and his taste when hes not hear to deffend himself pisses me off.who the **** are you lot to judge anyone? what makes u all better than he is?

Did you actually read any of these posts?

He is a car dealer. He admitted openly in an email response that he hates Scoobs as they are rubbish, he knows nothing about them and only bought it to sell on. He is also selling two other cars on eBay.

So actually he is a car dealer by DTI definition which would probably make him a fraud and a cheat as he is probably not paying tax and certainly not offering any warranty.

So we may be pretentious, however in this case there would seem to be some cause.

Imprezadan1.

Indeed you are right





Still funny to laugh at him though...

Bubba po

Perhaps you and he could arrange to be friends, away from the hostile environment that is ScoobyNet.

G_Sleigh_STi

lol.. oh i do like a good laugh now and then.

His explanation of the purge kit is fantastic..

He needs to take that off and keep it and sell it as standard.

imprezadan1

mate your occupation says it all

Sosbanite

Well peeps, would you adam 'n eve it......

Pootling down the M4 lunchtime today heading west just before Reading services and I passed this Scoob in all it's glory!!

It was a sight to behold with it's hazard lights flashing and sitting 6' off the bumper of the Jag that was towing it!

I guess that the Ragweld did not work then!

LMAO

Honestly? Was it THE car?

silent running

A nitrous purge kit is a functional device, used almost exclusively when quarter miling. While you're sitting in the staging lanes, you've got your bottle valve open and you've got unused nitrous sitting in the lines all the way up to the solenoids. However these lines pick up a little heat all the way along the car, and in the engine bay especially, they get warm enough so that instead of liquid nitrous oxide sitting in there ready for firing, you've got vapour, just like when your bottle's almost empty, which is pretty much good for nothing.

So, you get staged, purge your lines which vents this nitrous vapour out to atmosphere, causing pressurised liquid N2O to fill up the lines. As long as you launch fairly soon after purging you've got a good liquid nitrous charge ready for firing, which can also still carry out its secondary purpose of vapourising on its way through the inlet and taking heat out of the overall charge.

But admittedly venting CO2 to make it look like a nitrous purge is lame.

Fair point if a little forcibly made. Whenever an Impreza comes along that does not conform to certain people's ideology then it inevitably incurs the wrath of the 'Scoobynet Posse'. This has occured on several occasions now and methinks there will be certain members of this posse actively trawling through various mediums, looking for hapless victims. Who has empowered these gentlemen (and ladies) to be judge, jury and executioner? Maybe there is something lacking in their own lives which compels them to ridicule, lambast and insult those who are ill equipped to defend themselves. Everyone is entitled to express an opinion but to shoot someone down just because of the way he or she styles their car? Well as long as they are picking on some other poor soul they are leaving me alone.........

Sosbanite

Deffinitely!
No mistaking it. I was in the outsidelane, flashing hazards caught my eye on the inside and then I saw what they were attached to!
Could hardly believe it myself and traffic was slow so I had plenty of time to eyeball it

Driver was a large middle aged bloke with dark wavy hair, gold specs and a brown leather jacket on. Has to be said that he did not fit too well behind the wheel and did not look very comfy!
Maybe he was struggling to find the switch to purge the ragweld!!!!!

If it concerns you so much that he can't defend himself go and email him this link via Ebay.

Jeez lighten up, it isn't like we are slagging off his wife or his trousers. Someone has already said earlier in this thread that the guy is a car dealer so whats the problem?

TREG

Thanks I was wondering how it all worked.

imprezadan1

well said banny,at least youve just restored my faith in fact there are some decent people on here.and fair comment about my point being forcibly made,i was having a really bad day
