the purge lines are used to ensure that the lines are filled with nitrous only and there are no air pockets or anything like that

similar concept to bleeding brake lines

that must be only for direct injection though correct? because a n2o fogger system is mixed with air.. is that correct? i dont act like i know everythin and i definately dont so dont flame me if im wrong..

honda_fanatic there are also other brands of n2o, there are heaps! another one is oznos

you may well be right, i dont know a whole lot about the different nitrous systems. I would think that it is applicable to all of the different systems, since they will all have a direct feed from the bottle and all get mixed with the air/fuel mixture eventually. Even if it is mixed with air, if th nitrous lines have air bubbles in them it'll mean that the flow isnt uniform and could cause issues in a serious nitrous system

Okay, I've actually done some research and I can answert this questiuon now, because n2o boils at very low temperatures after a while it tends to become gaseous in the lines. the purge makes sure your lines are full of the more concentrated liquid as opposed to waiting for the lines to clear while the liquid n2o makes it's way from the bottle.

means you start faster.
