mate just try this...... no ine ever said that the open throttle switch had to go on the throttle body...... they tried to tell us that too but we put it on the accelerator pedal under the dash way easy......and remember has to switch on at like 80-90% throttle not 100% like most ppl believe..... and a kind word of advice for ya..... dont ever jump on the gas while going slow or at low revs cause depending on how much gas etc u are running it will have a severe fit and a big backfire....... just my advice dude... your decision weather u use it or not as alot of ppl have varying ideas when it comes to nos.....cheers Jon

Rev - I'm dying to see how you go - should be great.

Depending on how technical you want to go you could put a mirco switch on the gearstick so the nos is only activated when out of first gear. And if you really want to go all out, you could use a comparitor and 555 curcuit so the nos only activates over ~3500rpm, or just modify a shift light :P

Of course you'd have a normal on/off switch to stop the nos from going on at all.

That would make it a little 'easier' to drive.

Oh, and we want pics pics pics :(:)

Yep, the 12 will be without nitrous and stock turbo. As it stands my re-tune should have me on track for a 280rwhp instead of the 230rwhp odd at 4700rpm (9's afr). The extra power I have is plenty to push me over the line for a 12.9 ,even with the razor blade 205's.

The 50 shot , and I'm afraid wider tyres, should put me into low 12's, the 100 shot into 11's.

sorry,

That is relative to the particular dyno I went on. I'd say the stock turbo is still only 300 odd at the motor. The relative increase on that particular dyno to 280HP based on fixing afr and ping issue.

To put it another way: I'll have over 350HP at the engine.

INASNT,

know my way around nitrous. The 100HP of nitrous is fine, just as fine as a 100HP increase with a hiflow turbo. As long as the engine internals can handle the extra power --- regardless of what provides it. The nitrous has the added benifit of correct mixture out of the box Vs new turbo that requires re-map and larger injectors etc.

As I said earlier the 50 shot is for starters, to get things sorted nicely.

The purge kit would be a good idea if I was racing and had a 250HP or so direct port. Keeps the lines 'liquified'. little power shots like mine don't need it.

Bottle warmers are good in cold weather, for the most part Perth is hot enough (except some parts of winter) to go without one.

Driving on the street with it?

No, I can't do that! Thats illegal in W.A.

INASNT,

the system will be in the car (lines solenoids etc...) except the bottle.

The EFI kit has a preset mixture, just change the jet. The engine tuning is basic... Retard the ignition, add a little extra fuel and shift gears 500rpm odd lower than normal (the torque increase is massive).

That's not exactly "tuning" it, is it? :D

Yes, the neatest way is to use an auxillary output as a secondary arming switch, instead of a microswitch on the throttle body/accelerator pedal... Makes it much more stealthy :)

But as rev210 said, with a wet system, the fogger gives perfect fuel for the nitrous shot, so no extra "tuning" is required with a small 50-100 shot.

mallory I think make a nitrous rev controller. you just put in two 'pills' one lower rev range and one upper rev range and it arms the throttle pos switch based on the rpms being within the specified range.

Things like that are kind of like turbo timers, you don't need them but if your a member of AA they are helpfull.

    • Have a look at that (shitty) pic I posted. You can see AN -4 braided line coming to a -4 to 1/8 BSPT adapter, into a 1/8 BSPT T piece. The Haltech pressure sender is screwed into the long arm of the sender and factory sender (pre your pic) into the T side. You can also see the cable tie holding the whole contraption in place. Is it better than mounting the sender direct to your engine fitting......yes because it removes that vibration as the engine revs out 50 times every lap and that factory sender is pretty big. Is it necessary for you......well I've got no idea, I just don't like something important failing twice so over-engineer it to the moon!
    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
