If you like, you can have your fuel hose crimped at any local shop that does Hydraulic crimping. If you have no such places near you, I highly recommend Orme Brothers. Call them up and let them know what you want to do, and then arrange to ship them the high pressure fuel hose. They will crimp...
DSMJim is right, that's probably the best to use.Personally, I was lazy, I use plastic nylon tubing from Home Depot with a compression to 1/8th NPT fitting. It works fine. (Side note, unlike Jim's suggestion, the tubing will whip around under pressure since it is not rigid, so make sure it...
What are you talking about? Wet and Dry kits refer to the type of fuel enhancement the kit provides. This has nothing to do with the bottle at all.-Brian
I used to use the Permatex Teflon paste, but someone on some website mentioned that the industrial teflon paste like you might find in the plumbing isle at Home Depot is the stuff to use.Never had any trouble with leakage.Keep in mind that nitrous pressure is based on temperature. If you...
You can use spit, or leak detector to find the leak.Also, you should not use Teflon tape, only Teflon paste. Teflon tape can flake off and go down the line then lock up your Nitrous solenoid.-Brian
There's probably a good reason that people don't run their systems at 250psi, besides bottle pressure. Could be related to flow too.. (Too low CFM at 250psi, etc).)-Brian
Why do things get very specialized after 250psi? Most members here running a nitrous kit are using "commonly available parts" (being that generally things aren't custom machined).I built my nitrous kit custom from parts that I found online.I disagree with this guy's build techniques and...
No, the sneaky pete system is specifically designed to only shave a few fractions of a second off track times. As it was described to me, it's designed to either be hidden or even worn on the body. It sprays only nitrous and the instructions say to jet the carburetor(s) a little rich to...
I had this kit but I wasn't comfortable with the build quality.The solenoid looks cheap, and I seriously am questioning the controller box.Also, the feed line to the bottle is too short, and the bottle doesn't hold a lot. I ended up selling it before I installed it, went all custom on my...
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).-Brian
Your kit should've come with an anti-blowout fitting, if not, you can get one here:http://www.speedshop.org/store/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=111-Brian
A dry shot does not mean that you have no fuel enrichment.A dry shot means that there is no fuel injected at the nitrous injection point.You will still need to locate the FPR (which is probably attached to the fuel rails). Dry kits pressurize the vacuum to the FPR in order to increase...
ShadowWulf, can you recommend a specific dealer? I've been going to Chatsworth/Burbank area and the prices are terrible. $4 at both Orme brothers and 4x4 Specialties.-Brian
EGT = Exhaust Gas Temperature. It will let you know if you are going to melt something. It comes with a sensor, the sensor should be installed in the exhaust manifold near the head, on the hottest cylinder. (Closest to the timing belt).You bought an A/F gauge that hooks up to the stock O2...
You're gonna probably get flamed pretty bad, but here's some partial answers:1. Yes, but redline isn't the point of maximum horsepower.2. The longer you hold down the button, the more stress and temperature will be introduced to the block. A full 15-17 second run is acceptable, but be...
There was a magazine that reviewed this in the past, and they said that you have to be careful how you cut the lines. (The lines are softlines), If there are burrs left on the lines, the hoses will fly off during spray (possibly causing the car to catch fire as someone previously mentioned)...
When setup right, and especially with the cooling effect for a turbo guy like you, you will definitely feel the 50 shot.Also, Jtoby is right, I didn't think of that.-Brian
The main issue is that if it is a street car, can you keep all of consumables topped off at all times.If the tune is dependant on having Nitrous and methanol available, what happens when you run out of one? Will you blow up, or just loose power?-Brian
The ECU and associated sensors can never meter nitrous oxide properly, because it is not normal atmospheric air (26% Oxygen, I believe). It will see the added "air", and drop in temperature, however, the car will still run lean."How much fuel?", you ask? It depends on a lot of things. I'd...
I disagree with your choice of gauges, and I'll give you the reasons why.First, the air/fuel gauge you specify is hardly accurate (unless you are talking about wideband), and the oil pressure gauge is hardly useful. A narrowband air/fuel sensor (like that kind that comes on the car), and...
Go here:http://www.robietherobot.com/NitrousJetCalculator.htmUse a nitrous jetting of 0.020.This should return a fuel jetting of 0.011when used on a fuel pressure of 45 and bottle pressure of 900.Please note that NX jets and nozzles are completely different and proprietary. This...
Lowest is 75, 15 per cylinder. Any smaller and the fuel jet will be too small. (As in too small to purchase because they don't sell them -- Once a jet gets small enough, it can be too difficult to manufacture it consistently).-Brian
You can't see where it sprays out, but the purge solenoid on the left has a 1/8th" NPT to 1/4" tube compression fitting, and then runs straight into the firewall and sprays straight up on the driver's side.The concept is the same for anything else.You sound like you might want...
It may sound like I am kidding, but completely seriously:Buy your purge kit. I recommend DynoTune's kit because it will already give you some of what you need, and it's cheap.http://www.speedshop.org/store/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=24Go to Home Depot, go into the plumbing...
A lean condition for a split second in a high shot application can cause enough detonation that, when the fuel does spray, it'll backfire and blow your intake manifold right off the car. (Usually bends valves and destroys sensors too).If you are concerned about wasting that little bit of...
I wouldn't use that on anything other than a honda, because who cares if they blow up. (Kidding.. Or am I?). The filter system doesn't work so well because the air flow sensor can't take into account the increased power available from the N2O.In any case, we are talking about a direct port...
It's very difficult to get any less than 15hp per cylinder. (You'd end up with a fuel jetting that is too small to be manufactured consistently - which is why they don't make it.)-Brian
That's a good idea peanotion. Actually, I was contemplating running a hard line from front of the car to the back, and using the steel braided teflon to connect that to the solenoid and bottle. (The teflon line degrades over time, but the hard line, not so much). Installing a hardline would...
http://www.speedshop.org/store/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=24Not that expensive. (This is also the purge kit that I run on my setup - Yes the purge tubing is plastic, but I'm not concerned if it cracks, it's $5 for 20 feet at Home Depot and it's meant to release the pressure into the...
Ahhh, you misread me. (read again). I said before the FPR (Fuel Pressure Regulator), not fuel rail, although if you were to tap before the fuel rail that is also before the FPR.I mean basically anywhere before the FPR. At the test port is fine in your case, you can even install the T right...
I'm not familiar with how the 420A turbo kits work. You are using that port for a return fuel line direct to the tank? or to an additional FPR to hold pressure?However it's done, the tap for the source of fuel to the fuel solenoid should be performed on a high pressure side. (This means it...
