Where to get nitrous refills?

2klude · 05-31-2007, 02:21 AM

I was wondering where you guy go to get your nitrous refills and how much per pound.

You can go to Goodies in santa clara ( use to be called Speed Merchant ) Great guys

Cost about $ 4 per lbs

there is also Vic hubbards in San Leandro I think they are $5 per lbs but could be wrong.

There seems to have been a bit of discussion about this on the local boards lately- I think the consensus is that Speed Merchant does questionable fills and that the most success has been with Vic Hubbard.

What do you mean by "questionable fills"? I assume you mean I wouldnt be getting as much N2o as I paid for?

People have said that they've gotten bad fills from speed merchant- mostly air, not much nitrous.

I did notice one of the bottles they filled for me was on the light side. I took it back and they toped it off

No not yet... I pick up he car tomorrow. I ended up switching to Dynotune electrical gauges and they took some time to come in. Also got my TB and intake ported so he kept the car a little longer. I am pretty sure my installer is including a free n2o fill but I am sure I will go through it this weekend since I have such a big shot install.

How big of a shot are you going with

Do you have a extra bottle ? It will come in handy

I have 3 10 lbs bottles

I am running a 150RWHP shot through a harris speed works kit. Any idea how many runs i can get out a 10lbs bottle spray 150?

Robert@Advanced Dyno · 05-31-2007, 10:29 PM

you will probably go through a bottle on the way home

I would think about 4 passes down the 1/4 if you spray in first

anyone know what the dimensions of a 20lbs bottle is? I was thinking of buying a 20lbs bottle and keeping my 10lbs one filled aswell.

Rob I assume you have a fill station in the shop? how much per pound do you charge.

I would think you will need at least another bottle if not two, but a 20#er is pretty big.

I don't know if he has a station YET, but do know that right next door they have a few mother bottles I like to sip off of.

Robert@Advanced Dyno · 06-01-2007, 02:24 AM

Kian my fill station is on the way!
The shop next door to me gets 4.00lb

so when you come down and we put in your other 10lb bottle we can fill em both for 80.00 lol

I will let you know the price on the bottle tomorrow. I am about to leave the shop right now i just looked at the clock!

There's also a place in Walnut Creek off N Main if anyone in the East Bay needs a refill $5/lb
