help with nitrous

CSRsports21 · 06-29-2002, 07:03 PM

Well I am thinking of going with a little bit of the juice... but I dont know that much about it. Help me out with some input on what I need and what I should get and what kinds should I get. WET or DRY? and also do they make sneaky petes or do you make those yourself?

Thanks alot

IMHO

the Nx 35-50-75 Import EFI kit with the GenX II accessory package from www.nitrouswarehouse.com is a great setup and not a bad price..

Sneaky Petes I believe are part of a NOS kit, Im not entirely sure on that or the extra's required for them to work.. do a search on the net and im sure youll find info on them.. I remember reading on them in a catalog

The NOS sneaky pete has no provisions for fuel enrichment. You are instructed to jet (carburetor lingo) a bit on the rich side. Sure it could work on an efi application as well, but dont expect much power. Efficently up your boost by 4 psi and you will be making more power than the sneaky pete.

Ohh I just noticed you are NA... in that case dont up your boost. But if you really want nitrous buy a normal wet or dry kit instead of the sneaky pete. At least there will be room for more power as your confidance grows. Plus the fun lasts a whole lot longer.

I replied to an earlier thread and gave my recommendation on a setup here is the link nos..how bad is it really?

HiPsi91 is right..the sneaky pete won't work on your car; it's designed for carburated use only and has specific instructions to re-jet carb before use. I wouldn't recommend even trying that on a fuel injected car because you never really know how the car is going to react. In your case, being NT, you don't have to worry about a boost spike, but you could still run into a lean condition. The ideal kit for a naturally aspirated car for spraying up to 100 shot is a dry kit. Just start with a 50 shot, and work your way up from there. Get some good gauges, and install perhaps a turbo DSM fuel pump and have a blast.

is an RX7 a carburated engine??

what gauges should i get?

...is an RX7 a carburated engine??...

Depends on which one. The 12A's are 1.1 liter carburated motors, and the 13B's from 1985 in the GSL-SE on up are fuel injected. They did make a 12A turbo engine that was fuel injected, but I believe that was in Japan only.

the reason i ask is becuz of the movie.. Vin's Rx7 was using sneaky pete's.. not that the movie had any fact to it but wasnt sure if that RX7 was or not

NosLaser · 07-03-2002, 04:34 PM

That movie just had zero fact to it. Put a sneaky pete on a fuel injected (TURBO NO LESS) rotary and see what happens. Have a nice day.

figured as much, just making sure

Larry... dont believe everything you see on TV.

BTW, Aslans recommendation of an upgraded fuel pump is very good advice for NA guys.

Larry, the scary thing is that guy had the setup on his car before the movie. He is from Team Boso zoku in San Diego...

Im thinking of going NOS over a turbo kit (3grand compared to 600 bux)
but I thought the fuel pumps in NA cars were the same pumps as in turbo cars (2G)
