What is the main advantage of the Lightning Series solenoid's design?

The Lightning Series solenoid features a raised inlet and bottom exit design. This configuration minimizes sharp bends and expansion areas, helping to keep nitrous in liquid form for more consistent and powerful injection.

Can I connect a purge valve directly to this solenoid?

Yes, this solenoid includes a built-in bypass port with a 1/8" NPT thread. This allows for a clean and direct connection of a purge valve to the solenoid body, ensuring no trapped air affects performance.

What are the inlet and outlet sizes on this solenoid?

The Nitrous Express Lightning Series solenoid has 1/8" NPT inlet and outlets, making it compatible with standard plumbing fittings for nitrous systems.

About this part

Product Details

The .125 orifice in this Nitrous Express Lightning Series solenoid is a key detail for managing nitrous flow. It's designed to support up to 500 horsepower, drawing a maximum of 22 amps, which is a lower amp draw than many other solenoids. This means it's easier on your electrical system while still delivering the power you need.

Keeping nitrous in liquid form is crucial for making more power, and this solenoid is built with that in mind. Unlike solenoids with sharp bends or expansion areas that can cause nitrous to turn gaseous, the Lightning Series features a raised inlet and a bottom exit. This design helps eliminate up to four 90-degree turns and one expansion area, reducing turbulence and keeping the nitrous dense and ready for injection. The body is CNC machined from lightweight billet aluminum and topped with carbon fiber cans, making it one of the lightest options available.

A notable feature is the built-in bypass port with a 1/8" NPT thread. This allows you to connect a purge valve directly to the solenoid body. Doing so not only cleans up your plumbing but also ensures there's no trapped air in the solenoid, which can affect performance. This solenoid has a maximum opening pressure of 950psi and 1/8" NPT inlet and outlets for easy connection.
