What is a boost bottle?

[RobH]

What in the world is that? is this like the R/C version of NOS or something?

A boost bottle is an object designed to make OQ Piddle on herself trying to bash something she has no knowledge of.

a boost bottle Novice is a complete waste of money.

 

[RobH]

I'm just curious what it does. some engines have them internally

 

[nitro dave]

They are supposed to smooth out the throttle band if I am not mistaken. I don't think I have seen anyone who thinks they are an important hop up. Most think they are a waste. I know MIP makes one.

The way it seems, it squeezes some extra air into the carb intake to do what Dave just said- smooth out the acceleration and overall powerband. I have one on a .21 and I doubt it helps much.

I'm taking this off topic, but has anyone played with the perry pumps? (Nitro fuel pumps that use enegine pressure to pump a constant pressure into the engine) They any good? Something to the tune of $100 for the complete system.

Thats so true. They do help but it is minimal. It is much more effective when it is built into the backplate of the engine like this:

:lurk:




















yep.

I dont get it Gman? Guess I'm dense.

 

[RobH]

the above engine is a CMB. They claim this is done by design so the boost bottle doesn't come up to the same temp as the engine.

perry pump experience anyone?

 

[HumboldtBlazer]

I'm sorry but why did he hook that system to such a gutless engine?

 

[Jamie]

Haha!!!! it ought to be linked up to a picco .26!

 

[HumboldtBlazer]

Thats what I'm talking about.

I think maybe because that engine is easy to drill and tape the crankcase (it's square). I've seen other people do it with a hole drilled and taped in the backplate.

The perry pump should nix the fat to lean swells caused by the level of fuel in the fuel tank. It should also smooth out the low fuel pressure issues at low RPMs. You won't, however, see me drilling a hole in my .21 to find out.

I have to agree, I am not that brave either.....yet.
