Nitrous install Complete

It's a Zex wet shot sytem, with optional pressre gauge and purge kit and bluue purge light. The bottle is mounted in a custom fiberglass box in the trunk and the purge comes out the driver side fender vent. It's a diffenitly noticable when it sprays and it's only a 55 shot. I will have more detailed pics tomorrow sence it's raining here. Plus I'll have video and some track times by saturday.

it rides great! I sprayed getting on an on ramp and hit 90mph before I got to the end of it and that's about an 1/8th of a mile. The purge is even as cool as the ride. the switches are mounted in my ashtray, put it in 1st andnever have to take your hand of the shifter!

I'm eager to hear yours as well, I had planned on getting the Greddy kit, but then a great oppurtunity for a FC buildup came along so I bought a different turbo, Turbonetics T70!

I'm a total n00b when it comes to nitro, but how long does one spray last? Is it configurable?

W/ this setup the spray is trigured by WOT, so as long as your at WOT, yes the shot sizes can be changed bigger shot more HP

sorry, dump question, WOT means 'wide open throttle' am I right?
...but isn't it better to have a button to push? I don't know much, mostly what I've seen from movies, like 2f2f...

That's what I would think as well, but to each his own. If it works better for him to activate when WOT, then he should use it. Either way, it's still nitrous

from what I have read you trigger at WOT as the engine managment isn't using the o2 sensors to correct the mixture so the mixture you set with the wet NO2 system stays constant.

the WOT is better NOS newbies because it keeps you from spraying at the wrong time and damaging your engine, plus one less thing to worry about.

Sorry no times, w/ spray. Trying to get my all motor runs constant ran around 9.8(1/8th mile) and on my 5th run, hit three quaters of the way down the track, shifted into third and the radiator gave out and just threw it's guts up. Antifreeze everywhere! called Tripple A put it on a flatbed and carried it home, got it jacked up and will try to get it fixed tomorrow so will have to wait for times with the nitrous till next weekened.
