Fuel, How Much 60-1 plus 75 direct wetshot

[Slippi84]

If fuel went straight from the tank into the combustion chamber like a hose, then yes, you'd have to worry about it more. But it doesn't. It stops at the injectors and there is plenty of fuel that isn't being used that finds it's way back into the tank. A wet kit supplies it's own fuel independant of the injectors, so as long as the pump supplies enough pressure to keep the motor happy with the amount of fuel "lost" to the nitrous fuel line, then you don't have to worry about it. A wet kit is pretty self sufficient. If you get pressure drop from adding a wet kit, chances are your pump was pretty near maxed out already on 'motor.'

By the way it's not "on motor" if your boosted but ill give you the "benefit of the doubt"

That's why I put motor in '' 's. For the purposes of this discussion, I was using the term 'motor' to mean without the nitrous activated. But thanks for letting me know what forced induction is.

Take a page from the LS1 guys that are srpaying the house down. when you move your battery to the back or if you don't and go with a short route IC pipes, there will be a spot to run a fuel cell and dedicated pump for your nitrous. No more wories if your fuel system can support a HUGE turbo with GIGANTIC injectors and a shot of the juice. I would think yall woulda thought about that by now in this thread, but I guess I owned that damn F-body too long .

Oh you will probably be using a low pressure pump if yuo do this......just remeber to fatten the fuel jet.... or you will run lean and POP.

that should help

Installing a fuel cell in a hatch back opens up a can of bullshit if you still intend to run at any respectable track. I know for me, the nitrous was meant to be a simple addition just to get the car a little faster on race gas without giving up my sweet spooling twin scroll 16g. I think most of us with DSMs are thinking along the same lines. With a small turbo like this and a typical amount of nitrous being used, there are intank pumps that supply more than enough fuel. For an all out race car or a NT that plans to make all its power on nitrous, the fuel cell then seems a little more worthwhile...

Edit> For some reason I thought this was Scottsee's thread. In the context of this thread, the fuel cell is a good idea for the reasons I mentioned in my previous posts. The intank pumps are not big enough. Sorry, I'm confused and I suck at life.

Yeah having to install a fuel cell just to run nitrous safely kinda takes away from the whole point which is easy extra ponies. Your right and it woudl work or you could even get your hands or custom make the dual walbro 255 intake setups have one feed to the nitrous kit one toe the rail and be ok too but all that makes spraying a little tedious then.

 

[Kheldar]

Well, the hole thing have having to do 2 255 pumps does the same iIMO. I mean hell get a cheap jazz cell from jegs, mount that bi*** and get a cheap holley fp thats good to 12-20psi, with a cheap regulator, and hook it all up. its not that hard.....just have to mess with your jets. Also, it is ALOT safer and more tuning capabilities. While spraying and you look at your wide band and you dont like the ratio.....turn your fuel pressure a click up or down.

Dont dismiss it with trying to make it harder than it is.

Now that I think about it again (and I'm 10 times more tired) I can see the value in this approach, especially if you use a really small cell that you can hide perhaps and an inexpensive pump. It should still only be necessary if you run a really big shot or you have a big turbo using up all of your main pump, but this is another option to get the job done.

I woud rather over build and be safer than to under build and be building it again.

WHat is overbuilding in your opition cause to others it may be normal?

 

[Kheldar]

i mean the extra precaution of the standalone fuel system for the nitrous.
