How to connect multiple bottles? - Honda Prelude Forum

Does anyone here have any advice on how to run multiple bottle setups? For a number of reasons, one might find it useful to run 2x5lb, or 5x2lb

bottles than one large one, but I'm not completely sure how you plumb the system. Anyone here doing this?

I was wondering the same thing. All I could think of is to use some kind of "T" on the main line. From the that you run a line to the bottles. I think if I do get another bottle I'll just keep one in the house so I don't have to run the store to fill it up when I'm empty. Having multiple bottles would look interesting though.

iv got zex and they make a "maximizer kit" , i think all it is is a bottle,bottle brackes,and like yal said somkind if a T for the braded nitrous line.Im woundering with the zex kit it uses blottle pressure too change the air/fuel/nitrous, i dont know how two bottles would affect that? But im sure with NOS i should be pretty easy to install and use.

T adapters. Enjoy.

So you don't need any additional line regulation? Just T's?

hehe, I should have a pretty sweet stealth install here in a few weeks

I don't see why you would. The most free flowing path would be towards the nitrous solenoid so I don't think that the pressure from the bottles would counteract each other.

Heh heh. Wait and see

I'm just wondering about if you have two bottles at different pressures, what might happen. Is anyone here running a multiple bottle setup?

One would think that if the valves on both/all the bottles are open, the pressures would equalize between them. You would just need a single valve farther down the line to shut it off if you desire.

it'd be a pain to have to open all the bottles (say if you had 3 or more 1lb bottle for example) or you could get a remote bottle opener for each bottle

i've thought about running multiple bottles before so i could do a stealth setup, but i dont have money for it. it'd be nice if someone here pulled it off though.

I believe if you use T-fittings (which should work fine) the pressure between multiple bottles would just equilibriate in the system.

Same as our multiple bottle setups for SCUBA. The tanks equalize with each other as soon as they are opened, and lose pressure equally as you spray. It would take 10- 1 lb bottles to equal the amount of a standard bottle. Extremely expensive, but if your hiding the system, makes it easy in the Lude.

Thanks for the info guys

So you would have to get multiple bottle warmers too. OR (this is a question, not a solution) Could you have one bottle warmer set a a higher tempature (raise the pressure in 1 bottle), then it would make up for not having a bottle warmer on the other bottle(s).

I think the first problem would be having too much pressure in one of the bottles, they would all have to be open at the same time. Then you need to have remote bottle opener on each bottle. It would definately be nice to fit everything in the spare tire wheel under the floor.

Actually you could set up the NOS warmer differently by pulling the bottle adapter off it and put it inline, after the bottles are tee'd together, but before the solenoids.
