Nitrous installed!!

Well I probably should put this in the performance but im too lazy. Got my nitrous installed tonight and will have pics up tom. Now I have a few questions about the throttle switch. Most people put it in the dummy switch well i tride but it is too big so i have just the lever sticking thru. *will show pic tom.

Some pics till I get my dig camera back *these are from my phone* (Dont mind my car it just rained dismorning and a bird decided to crap on it so Its not clean right now. Goin to install my purge kit today or tom.












This switch setup is only temp till i can figure out how to get the whole peice on there, or find another switch that will fit.

Sick man, congrats. Hope everything will work out. Another cool place I have seen for the switch is next to the cig lighter. Flip the plastic up and zoom zoom baby!

Next i put a 55/55 shot jet in it, i can feel the difference its pretty nice. Ive read here somewhere people are doing a 55/65. How is that working for you? and i think imma try a 65/65 tom. too just too see if my renny will like or dislike it.

I'd PM him and at least know everything that you'll need to look out for. I'm actually going to do the same... wondering what it would take to safely run that.

i believe to run a 65 you need some sort of engine management so you can play with the timings.

Just stick with your current setup. Sticking in 65's wont get you anything noticeable. Be content with the extra 55 ponies for now and wait for the BHR ignition control module to come out. If you want to maximize the 55 shot, get a flash tool (ie., AP, hymee) and lean out your mixtures to around 12.5 AFR

Yea you guys are right, I just want more already! lol 55 is nice but you really dont feel it too much. I mean it sits you back when it activates, but i dont know. Im going to take it to the track this weekend i think if its good weather so ill see what i run. w/ all my current mods in my sig i should do pretty decent i hope. Im hoping mid 8's in the 1/8 since thats the nearest track to me, no quarter mile

did you even heat up the bottle correctly? do you have nitrous pressure gauge?

does it say 1000 PSI before you hit the button

you should feel something

i know the nozzle numbers, i was just saying 55hp/55fuel instead of the actual nozzle number. I feel it yes. it pulls MUCH harder. I just want more is what i meant to say. I froze the bottle b4 fill, the bottle sat in my trunk for 1 day in 100 plus degree weather, and yes i have a pressure gauge everything is right. Im running right now 32/17. but im going to go w/ a 32/19 like taj said. im working on pics right now. I dont have my dig cam so i have phone pics for now im sending to my email as we speak. No BOOM architect.
