Can you run nitrous without a purge?
You’ll go rich with a wet shot if you don’t purge, a dry shot you’ll just have a small delay before the nitrous hits the nozzle.
What does purging your nitrous do?
they ‘purge’ the system as when the cars are sitting on the start line for a while the engine heat turns the no2 in the line into a gas which is what they don’t want. It is then ‘purged’ into atmosphere to get all the gas out of the line and ensure there is liquid ready to go when they nail it.
How does a nitrous solenoid work?
Solenoids use an electro-magnetic coil to overcome spring pressures and pull up on a plunger. This plunger either blocks (closed position) or allows (open position) the flow of nitrous through passages in the base and into the intake of your engine.
How long should I purge my nitrous?

In a nutshell: if you want to look cool or you are racing brackets, purge solenoids are good.
What happens if nitrous pressure is too low?
If your bottle pressure is too low, your nitrous system tune up will be pig fat and have less than desired results. Too much bottle pressure and you may be getting into a lean tune up, unable to activate the nitrous solenoids, or in a worst case situation run into safety issues with the bottle itself.
How many amps do nitrous solenoids draw?
