DELUXE SUPER HI-FLOW BOTTLE VALVE

NITROUS SUPPLY

Nitrous Supply in Huntington Beach, California, now offers an upgrade to its popular Super Hi-Flow bottle valve. The DeLuxe model of the Super Hi-Flow valve features a polished surface and premium chrome plating. On the inside are the same important features that deliver improved performance.
The 135-degree nitrous flow path was designed to offer better performance than standard designs with a 90-degree bend. Other enhancements include a 1/8 NPT gauge port and an AN-8 “racer safety port” that facilitates routing a pressure discharge outside of the vehicle. There is a 1/4 NPT port to facilitate use of a NANO-type pressurized assist. A 1/2-inch siphon tube is standard.
According to Mike Thermos, this valve’s “1/4-turn lever actuation enables racers to add a remote cable that could be used to shut off the flow of nitrous from outside the vehicle. It’s a definite safety benefit.”
Racers seeking optimum performance and safety can step up to Nitrous Supply’s exclusive Outlaw Power Valve, which is lever-actuated (instead of a screw handle) and can be attached to a pull cable to facilitate shutting off the nitrous from outside the vehicle. It also has a straight flow path and a big, 5/8-inch siphon tube.

PREMIUM GOATSKIN TIG WELDING GLOVES

Defiant Metal in Clemmons, North Carolina, has developed a premium goatskin TIG welding glove designed by Justin Voss, a former NASCAR fabricator with 16 years of experience in the industry. Recognizing the need for a high-quality, versatile welding glove, Voss drew upon his extensive background in a high-stakes environment where precision and safety are paramount. His expertise drove the creation of a glove that addresses both the sensitivity required for intricate TIG welding and the durability necessary for light-duty MIG welding.
“The single-layered fingers of these gloves provide maximum tactile feel, allowing welders to maintain a delicate touch, crucial for precision work,” described Voss. “This feature is particularly beneficial in TIG welding, where the welder needs to manipulate the welding torch and filler rod with great accuracy. The double-layered palm rest offers enhanced protection, giving welders extra time to complete a weld without compromising safety. This design ensures that the gloves can withstand the heat and wear associated with prolonged use, making them a reliable choice for professionals.”
Crafted from premium goatskin, the gloves offer both comfort and durability. Goatskin is known for its softness and flexibility, which help reduce hand fatigue during long welding sessions. The double-row Kevlar stitching further enhances the gloves’ durability and resistance to wear and tear, providing an additional layer of protection without sacrificing the dexterity needed for detailed work.

EV ELECTRIFICATION KIT

Legacy EV in Tempe, Arizona, has introduced the first complete EV electrification kit for under $10,000. Developed from the powertrain components of a Nissan Leaf, the kit repurposes the components of the first EV available to the mass market.
“The Legacy EV team created a straightforward, turnkey, and very affordable solution for those who want to embrace electrification,” said Rob Ward. “Our new kit utilizes a proven modern motor and battery combination that repurposes most of the existing Nissan Leaf powertrain, reducing cost and dramatically simplifying installation. And the price is simply unbeatable.”
In addition to using the Nissan components, the Legacy EV kit includes an aftermarket vehicle control unit that manages charging, motor control, brake lights, reverse lights, pre-charging, HV relays, and more. Installation can include the existing gearbox to run half-shaft axles for front-engine FWD or rear-engine RWD donor vehicles. Alternatively, it utilizes a TorqueBox for single speed gear reduction, or a manual transmission adaptor plate if owners want to retain the factory transmission.
“Legacy EV is breaking new ground with the development of kits to make electrification of ICE-powered vehicles simpler and more accessible,” added Mavrick Knoles. “This new Nissan Leaf kit allows us to accomplish two incredible milestones. First, we’re giving auto techs a new way to easily convert a vehicle at a low cost. We’re also extending the life of these classic EVs by repurposing their powertrains for aftermarket applications, which is a far more sustainable solution than sending them to a salvage yard.”
At a cost of $9,950, the Nissan Leaf kit includes a 6.6kW onboard AC charger and 46kW CHAdeMO DC-fast charge capable, 30kWh battery pack with internal BMS and pre-charge circuitry, 80kW EM57 Motor and inverter with pre-installed single speed gear box, DC-DC converter and power distribution module, CHAdeMO charge port and associated cables, Nissan Leaf accelerator pedal, and a Nissan Leaf water pump.
The Nissan Leaf motor specifications include nominal voltage: 360V; input voltage: 288–403V; max current: 250 amps; peak torque: 250Nm; peak power: 80kW; max speed: 10,400 RPM0.
