Nitrous Express Debuts The Lightning 500 Bottle Valve

lightning-500Are you aching to give your nitrous-equipped ride some much-needed love? Only Nitrous Express has the goods, and they’re making it available now with the new Lightning 500, a bottle valve that maximizes flow and minimizes boiling. See more details below.

Official Release:

Why did we call this valve the Lightning 500? Because it has .500 orifice and .500 piston lift!

The largest orifice and the highest piston lift of any conventional bottle valve on the planet.

The 500 has a .625 siphon tube, only one 45 degree turn in the nitrous flow path and fittings that will allow the use of up to a 10AN supply line with no restrictions. The 500 is engineered to eliminate all obstructions, sharp edges or tight turns that will disrupt the smooth laminar flow of nitrous. This design minimizes boiling and gaseous nitrous in the flow path to the solenoid resulting in a nitrous system that produces more clean horsepower and is easier to tune on any car! The Lightning 500 is CNC machined from billet aluminum and is approximately ½ pound lighter than a comparable brass valve, has dual gauge ports, and interchangeable nipples that will allow the use of 4AN, 6AN, 8AN, or 10AN supply lines. The Lightning 500 comes standard in many NX systems but will fit in any nitrous bottle and is available to upgrade any brand nitrous kit.

Features:

  • One of the largest orifices, highest piston lifts of any conventional bottle valve in existence
  • Allows use of up to 10AN supply line with zero restrictions
  • Minimizes boiling and gaseous nitrous in the flow path to the solenoid
  • CNC machined from billet aluminum
