We just installed a nitrous express bottle warmer on my friends nitrous express kit. The bottle pressure was at 300 psi. When we engaged it @ 300 psi, we could hear a difference in the quickness if it revving, thus we could tell that it was working as it should (just not at it's potential cuz of it's pressure.)

After some serious trouble getting the bottle heater to work, we re-wired it ourselves without the relays that were supplied (we just kinda rigged it but it works as it should). The bottle was about 50 degrees. The bottle was on for about 20 minutes and the bottle was noticably hotter. Like i couldn't put my hand on it for more than 6 or 7 seconds without having to take it off from the heat.

The problem is, the PSI Was still at 300.. The gauge is working properly. What's the deal? Does this take a LONG time to heat up to 1100 psi or appx that, or is it staying at 300 psi maybe we're low on nitrous?

thanks,

Yeah it usually takes only 10-15 minutes or so
