Ok, so $4167 for parts... but how much is installation of all of this (including pulling the engine for apex seals) going to cost you?

This is kinda along the lines of what I've been thinking about doing... :D

So are you replacing the lines with EFI lines to keep condensation down in the lines or?
Could you explian more on how you purge the lines again?I would rather save the money and get something else like a cold air intake on the same order and install it all at one time.

Well, I have to admit it is fun to show. But your method for purgeing is basicly spraying the Vapor and air in the lines intothe engine so actually you are doing the same thing if you didn't do your "purge". I suggest the purge kit to properly keep water vapor from entering the engine, after long time abuse this can damage your engine. As I said before Nitrous is only bad for the engine if you use it improperly.

vid of the purge light. high coolness factor.

Very high coolness factor, I still suggest you get the purge kit but that is just my opinion.

I'm getting the porting first, then turbo and tuning next, and last ill get the nitrous. ALL I NEED IS THE CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!! .

Well, I still suggest using the purge kit, I talked it over with some people last night and they told me what you are doing is a BAD idea, and also that the water injection analogy makes no since because in that case it is not being sprayed into the engine through the throttle body with trash. Just purge before you get to the line, then when you are coming down the return lane when no one is watching.

So how much power did this nitrous kit produce?

I don't see how this method of purging is a bad idea. A purge is a purge pure and simple. If you close the tank and do a quick run with the nitrous on to empty the line, it's just like running out in the middle of a race. So you run rich for a second. Big deal. I don't see how filling it back up when you go out is bad either. You need some form of purge. There's more than one way to do it. You don't necessarily need a purge valve. My friend's Z-28 has a 150 shot with no purge valve. When he starts the car up and wants to do some runs he blips the throttle a couple of times to make sure the line is full. No harm done and it works. No telltale fog for others to bitch about. That's cheatin' ya know! When people purge, they usually hold it too long to show off anyways. That's paid for horsepower getting shot out in a white mist of waste. It only takes a fraction of a second to clear out. When pressure is that high, gas travels very fast.

Well, looks like I may be the first to run Nitrous and a Turbo. I have a Greddy Turbocharger on the way and should hopefully be on by Friday.

I'm not sure, I don't have alot of experience with computer tunning, I'm learning though I have a Haltech unit on the way for my RX-7 dragracer, I'm excited about both. I just love being able to plug right in and tune the engine. I'll probally get my sponsers to setup the map as a base map and then we can tune it from there just like we are doing with the RX-7. Well, the turbo won't be on by Friday, the deal my sponsers offered me has changed and it is actually worse than I can get it retail, so I have to do a little work with them. But either way I will have it on within the next three weeks. I'm leaving town for an event on Friday and if by Monday we haven't come to an agreement I will order it from someone else.

TORacing

sure, your help is always welcome.

Is it easy to switch between the two maps, ie a button, or do you have to plug up your laptop to switch?

CZ plus E-01 = CZ Stage 3

Kev...It won't work with the gold E-manage units though

Thanks Dan - looks like I will NOT upgrade to Gold E-Manage after all, because I wanted to use the E-01 myself one day with Nitrous like Horse and Charles have done.

Hey Horse, you mentioned that you have the purge installed, any pics of it?

TORacing

sorry no pics at this time currently the system is out of order, I over tightened the AN fitting and busted it so I have to get it cut off and a new one crimped on. What's the differnece between the Gold Emanage and the blue one? I have already got my E-01 and my type RS BOV this afternoon I am ordering my Greddy Turbo Kit. So I suspect since the said they have 3 in stock that I will get it about next Friday, and will be finished with install by about that Wednesday, if nothing goes wrong.

TORacing

I am not sure if I ever mentioned but I did get a few runs in before the car broke and then the Nitrous lines broke. While Spraying my 1/8th mile times dropped a full second.

TORacing

Any news, Charles? I ordered my turbo saturday so it shouldn't be long before it gets here. I doubt that I will continue to spray on a turbocharged engine, but who knows.
