OK I got my TNT bottle set up with the NX bottle opener. I know many people have said you can't do it, but you can.. Here is how:
Machine the collar to 34 mm inner diameter.
Cut the **** that goes on the handle to 22 mm tall. Cut off the bottom.
Machine a 22mm diameter hole down the middle of the **** 19mm deep. That leaves you a base that is 3 mm. Cut a 7mm X 7mm hole in the base. Basically you’re just playing with the round hole.

The **** will fit right on, and the spring and washer will go right in.

That’s it….. Here are some pictures..

There is an easier way for the lazy. I just bought a NX valve for my TNT bottle :smash: Now I just have to decide if I want to buy a bottle opener or get a hand operated valve in line.

Ditto on what Jerry said. I believe Brian (bwhitmore) still has another one for sale, $25 shipped.

Tuan is correct, I bought the first onee from Brian and last I checked he still had one for $25. I would rather spend $25 then do all that metal work :U

Come on guys where’s your sense of adventure????
I mean spending $25 on a different valve just admits defete. :blueangel:
Actually makes you wonder why TNT just doesn't OEM out the bottle opener and do the machine work themselves so they have their own bottle opener.


BTW made a few runs on my TNT N2O system this weekend. Pretty sweet. Doing the 1/8 in 7.7->7.8 at 86mph still with 2.2 sec 60s :confused: Think it's time for tires.

86 mpg on the gas?? It seems like your mph would be much higher running 7.7's in the 1/8. I run 87-88 mph off the juice with the mods in my sig...Is your car an auto? Oh yeah, on the 100 shot I run consitent 93-94 mph times. What track are you running at? Don't worry about the 60' times. On the juice my 60' did not improve at all... :nonod:

JMon

I've been running at Dallas. The best I pulled on the car stock was 9.255 at 77.44 and once a 9.293 at 82.10 (this was a 1 time deal)

I can run 8.7s all night long at 85~86 with N2O but just can't do any better than that..... I have a 6 speed. Everyone keeps saying I should be doing much better, but have know idea why I'm not.

LOL, sorry that just struck me funny :cheers:
Cool mod, JMon

8.7's or 7.7's?? In your earlier post you stated 7.7's. That is what threw me. 7.7's is fast as hell. Your mph are about right if you are running 8.7's. If you are running 7.7's then your mph should be around 95+. Man this gets confusing :crazy:

Yes you should be running alot faster. I am running high 7's with 2+ 60' times on the juice and 8.3+ off the juice.

He's not the first to mis-spell my name and probably won't be the last. But anyways...back to the NAWESSSSSSS topic..... :D

-T.U.A.N also know as "Tuna" by a few. :lol:

JMon

Yeah I meant 8.7s....... God if I was running 7.7s I would love it. Don't think that will happen though.

C5-VERT

Tuna, man I am slow sometimes... :lol:

Jmon, I would perform a compression check on the motor to see what condition it is in. Or better yet, a leakdown test. What mods do you have? Besides the 100 shot?

No other mods. Dyno's really well. haven't done a dyno on the N2O but a few weeks ago I did a run when it was 100% stock and everything checked out well. Everything seems good. I'll do a N2O dyno run at the Cruse-In.

Maybe I'm just a bad drag race driver>>>

Sorry about that Tuan, I never looked at your name very closely and have always wondered why someone would call themselves Tuna. Now I know I've just been looking at it wrong all this time :cheers:

No problem man.

That explains why you have so many problem (reading instruction) with installing the nitrous kit. :eek: :eek: :eek: :lol: :lol: :lol:
