Is there any more weight you could shave off the starter with a grinder?

It's actually really light - but only if you ignore the bottle! I'm sure there will be a lightweight bottle option available, bearing in mind CO2 is used in paintball applications.Quote:

Forever finding them when searching for carbon bits lol
Bloody hell, 310 bar in that little thing! :eek:
Colin, have you thought about cutting some of the bits out that you arnt really supposed to, ie bit being the dash and the floor bars then thinning them with a grinder then spotting them back in?
Very interesting, thanks for that.Quote:

Need to work out how much CO2 it will consume in a typical hillclimb or sprint run, and then decide if I want a tank which will need changing after every run, or one which will last the whole day.
This assumes that it works as I hope of course.......

bit of interesting reading for you mate about half way down the page.
i ran nitrous and co2 through a spray bar on both my nova and the cav and to be honest mate save the weight and dont bother as co2 is near useless in comparison to nos and nos is silly dangerous to use as s cooler spray
You have got to remember your turbo is sucking in all that nitrous after it hits your cooler with no added fuel and dumping it in your engine!
and take it from someone that knows it will cause lean running when used and melted pistons
my cryo bar was rigged to my purge valve for the gas and when you spray the cooler with nos you get instant ice on the cooler which is great but for a few seconds after the engine would pic up a few rpm and the wide band would go nuts as it sucked in the nitrous thats in the area causeing lean conditions that the ecu couldnt enrichen enough to sort it
best thing i ever did was fan jets small washer bottle volswagen washer jet pump and a little methonol mixed with water
i had mine atached to my turbo smart boost controller so it sprayed the cooler when set presures were reached and it worked better and safer than what any gas style spray i have ever used or tryed
problem was pod got funny about me using it but that wont bother you
imho you will be better of safer and lighter using water spray
or better still and the best option available aqua mist water injection
when your over sat i will show you the washer jets ect i used to create a mist and the whole set up cost less than 10 quid and is miles better than the 130 quid cryo spray bar 1k worth of zex nitrous setup and spare bottle for co2 option was
