Basically, you need a bottle, hose, nozzle, toggle switch, vacuum or oil pressure switch (so system can only be activated when the engine's running), and 2 lockoffs (1 opened & closed by the vac or O.P. switch, the other opened by the toggle switch.) Get the bottle from Amerigas, Merriam-Graves, or any welding/industrial gas supplier. Hoses and necessary fittings come from any hydraulic shop. You can get a nozzle from a speed shop, the vacuum/oil pressure switch and the lockoffs are available from any forklift dealer, and if there's a Skyjack aerial lift dealer nearby (United Rentals, for example), you can order the following part numbers: (part numbers may have changed, my CD manual is over 4 years old.)

2ea 125793, LPG shutoff (lockoff)
1ea 111623, switch, vacuum safety

These are both threaded for 1/8" NPT.

There's also an adjustable nozzle that I couldn't find the Skyjack part number for (it's been a long time since I worked on one and forgot what it looks like LOL), but this

Valve, Flow Control - Pneumatic Flow Control And Needle Valves - Valves - Pneumatics & Hydraulics : Grainger Industrial Supply

or this

Valve, Needle, 1/8 NPT - Pneumatic Flow Control And Needle Valves - Valves - Pneumatics & Hydraulics : Grainger Industrial Supply

should work just fine. Start with it backed off maybe 1 turn from fully closed, and adjust for desired power. Mount away from the engine, the brass one is rated for 140F max and the plastic is 200F.
So how long does a bottle of nitrogen cost? How long does it last? Do you just give it spurts of power when you really need it or can it go for 5 min straight?

If I understand this all correctly you just have a bottle filled with nitrogen > hose > pressure regulator > on off switch > and the hose just goes into the air intake?
