    Basically I punch the throttle while hitting the nitrous in neutral.
    Gotta be careful,and it's not the smartest and I wouldn't reccomend it.
    Never had an issue yet though,but I tend to use smaller shots like 100hp and less.

      Yikes, thats the worst idea ever.

      It's things like this that give nitrous a bad name. Never would anyone ever using nitrous ever recommend purging in this way.

        It's a regular thing from what i've seen at the different tracks i've been too.
        In the country,we can't necessarily afford all the hypes and gadgets so we tend to make do.

        Nothing unsafe about it a long as your not stupid.
        I run wet,so the fuel is there-and as long as you time your throttle punch with the button press and don't hold on it then you've got plenty of air.
        And remember,your purging vapor-you use liquid. The point behind purging is you don't get hp from vapor
        So it's not as unsafe as you would think,i've used this practice for years (on plastic one and two piece manifolds) and generally use a TB spacer to drill and tap the nozzle into.
        As I mentioned before though,it would not be reccomended.
        If and when I ever blow a top because of it I'll probrably still do it though as the odds are in the 100+:1 area based on past experience.

          I live in the country too, and rather than risk blowing my motor from hitting it with nitrous vapor with no load on it, I just bought a $40 rebuilt nitrous solenoid from E-bay and put it on the T that came with my nitrous kit and used some plastic oil pressure line to route it out the hood. It's not an expensive addition, but the insurance that comes with it is quite high.

          Also you should purge till you get a white fog, your method will not result in consistent results.

          In the end I would rather invest the money on a third solenoid so I don't blow my motor and incur even more cost.

            To each his own,please don't call my methods inconsistent if you've not tried it.
            It's worked on V6's and V8's for years with no issue.
            The only vehicle I did purge was my old motorycycle,and that's for show.

              I'm not calling it inconsistent, the individuals who engineered and designed the equipment for this power adder are calling your method dangerous and inconsistent.

              Your method is spread around by tons of individuals who use nitrous in NHRA and its not a recommended method, its a risky way of what they think preps the system better than just clearing up the nitrous line. The most I do is purge my fuel setup through my motor before I start running for the day with the bottle closed, that eliminates any air in my fuel line and after that I use the secondary solenoid to purge the nitrous line.

              As they call it "banging" the motor is un-necessary abuse and wear on bearings, wrist pins, and the piston skirts. 3x00 motors have enough piston slap as it is, lets not try to cram the piston sidways down the bore more than it already attempts to.

              And you sound just like everyone else who defends this, its always the reply of "don't question me unless you've tried it", but little to no concrete proof... sorry but with the risk rate I'll stick to what I do and whats recommended to ensure less wear and tear on your engine.

              They don't recommend only activating the nitrous at WOT above 3k and full load for no reason.

                The emergency response team I am apart of has a saying that applies here,I'll quote it instead of debating what you've read versus what I regularly do. (I didn't mention it for your approval.)

                "Those who say it cannot be done,shouldn't interrupt those doing it".

                  Well thats where your wrong. I did not say it can't be done because well that's obviously false, since people do it, Now the point I'm trying to make is the act of doing so is not the most intelligent way to prep/clear a system, and will cause un-needed abuse and wear and tear and possibly extreme damage. And in the end when the statement of "All NHRA guys do it" is spread around to the point where a new guy tries it and then blows his intake off, it will once again tarnish the name of the tool.

                  I'm also not giving my approval for you to use your method or not it I'm simply stating that for a new user this is NOT a recommended way of purging a system. If you think your knowledge base is good enough to ensure you'll never miss a step and cause damage than have at it, BUT don't spread information that you yourself tag as "I'm not recommending this" You also stated you "live dangerously" this whole time I've been simply stating that your method is extremely risky and not recommended by the manufacture... So why the hell are you arguing with me if you already admitted its not intelligent?

                  and one right back at you.

                  "The right to do something does not mean that doing it is right."
