I mechanic was telling me today that my NX mainline EFI kit did not give a constant spray. He kept asking me if it was a stage 1. 2 or 3. I told him I didn't know. Yea i did feel stupid. He said the was the seloniods work that they can only be open a certian amount of time. I said that anything over 15 secs is bad because the selo's will frezze?
Any help here guys on what the meaning is behind 1, 2, and 3. I got my flame suit on so flame away........ :rolleyes:
Thanks though guys...............

Basicly, its a stage 1 system. And most notrous soloinids can only be opened a limited number of seconds, so its not about that.

I believe the stage differences has to due with the ammount of jetting power each soloind has (shot size). Being that were limited to a 75 shot max would make us stage 1 i assume. Some of the more expensive and common NX kits go up to a 150 shot.

I have seen jets and soloinids and jets rated up to 300-500...which is a little intense and sick i would imagine to expernece. Also i would assume only a large fully built V8 or something along those lines could handle anyways. I really dont see a 4 banger (no matter how built) being able to manage a shot size that large without blowing after one run.

Anybody else wanna step in? Jim? :D
 
That limited seconds you mentioned..........
Like what are you talking 5 seconds? 15? I am hoping to use it like i have said before, for faster "up to redline" times............

Those soloinids are rated up to 15 seconds on that kit, and ive tested it up to 17 seconds with no malfunction. (note: it says right in the instructions with the Mainline kit its rated for 15 seconds)

Nice link and info, however my other concern would be freezing the soloinids open, not so much as burning them out. The rapid expansion of the gas could concievably stick the soloinid open...resulting in "much wailing and gnashing of teeth" as a famous playwright would say.

You could always test the solenoid with CO2 (only because it's chaper, and you'll only be purging constantly - hook it up to a seperate CO2 canister, don't fill your nitrous bottle with CO2).
