is it full bottle pressure that is released to atmos?
Just wondering if i'm going to need to "modify" a argon gauge from the workshop.
Also what is the likely safe pressure to use in the braided hose that comes with NOS kits?

The plan is to utilise the NOS solenoid and the associated pipework, attached somehow to the CO2 cyl in boot!

Your thoughts?
DIY thread maybe ?

yes, WTF are you talking about?

If you mean IC cooling, then yes, you want to spray liquid CO2 or N20 onto it. I beleive that N20 has a significantly greated cooling effect.

I have been thinking about doing this but linking it to an ECU ao its triggered b that rather than a manual switch. The only question i got is what does the rapid cooling and heating do to the Intercooler.

I was thinking more of C02 Gas, aka: cheap mig welding gas.

and yes it's for intercooler cooling.
