yeah I would say just an ECU. The nos kit will come with fuel jets too, so you will just need to fine tune the ign timing and fuel mix a little with the ecu when the nos is active.

man your in some trouble.

The greddy kit is a NOS brand kit with a greddy controler, you buy that and you are paying way to much !!

Much better of buying a local kit. I would look into Zex if that kit was in your budget.

Also that kit I believe is a dry kit. Your really better of with a wet kit for turbo cars(argueable i know)

If you are running a wet kit all you would really need is a good fuel pump and a turbo with a steel wheel.

You won't need ecu/tune or extra injectors with a wet kit.

Or you can burn of your turbo wheel and use it as an excuse to upgrade, waste of $450 turbo though.

Your engine will handle 50hp shot of nos all day every day, just jet the wet kit on the rich side.

Usual nos things also apply. Change heat range in plugs and take about 2 deg of base timing out.

Tuning the NOS on the dyno would be the ideal though.

You DON'T need an aftermarket ECU to support that level of Nitrous Oxide use in your car.

You DON'T need a tune to support that level of Nitrous Oxide use in your car.

You DON'T need a steel wheel on your turbo to support that level of Nitrous Oxide use in your car.

You DON'T need larger injectors if you buy a 'wet' kit to support that level of Nitrous Oxide use in your car.

You DON'T need to adjust your timing to support that level of Nitrous Oxide use in your car.

You DON'T need a fancy progressive controller in your car to support that level of Nitrous Oxide use in your car.

====================================================================

You DO need '7' heat range spark plugs to support that level of Nitrous Oxide use in your car. (BCPR7ES @ 0.8mm)

You DO need a reliable fuel pump to support that level of Nitrous Oxide use in your car.

You DO need someone with half a brain to fit it and work out a tune (with the jets) to support that level of Nitrous Oxide use in your car.

You DO need to bear in mind that you shouldn't be activating it under about 3000rpm to support that level of Nitrous Oxide use in your car.

I think you will find that this is very simular to those that say 15psi + on an rb25 turbo = wheel off

It works for some people and not for others, its just a rule of thumb.

At any rate I don't think you could argue it will increase the chances of the wheel coming off and people should be warned.

I am sure you have some story of how you did it and it was fine for you ... IN YOUR CASE.

The same applies for the timing, all thnigs being equal you are probably right. Bad or low octane fuel will make you wrong.

Dude, I wouldn't be arguing about nitrous with 2rismo...

He knows his shit.

Stumbled accross an un-questionable net god have I ?

If he know's "his shit" he will know not everyone is always right about things(including myself :blink: ) they believe to be true and accept other peoples opinions for what they are .....

Just remember who said you shouldn't argue with me....it wasn't me and I don't think an argument is necessary. Just so we're clear. I very much appreciate your very last statement. :D

It's very different to that scenario, in fact. Running a stock RB25 turbo at 15psi is dramatically different to running the small amount of Nitrous as described in the first post. This is from experience and measurable EGT's etc not from guessing.

At any rate I don't think you could argue it will increase the chances of the wheel coming off and people should be warned.

For a number of reasons it can actually decrease the likelihood of exhaust wheel de-lamination.

I am sure you have some story of how you did it and it was fine for you ... IN YOUR CASE.

What I've said above is based on experience on more than just my car but certainly mostly on my car. However, these suggestions are very different to a sensible rule like the suggestion that you probably shouldn't run 15psi+ on a stock ceramic wheeled turbo for long periods (which I absolutely agree with). They are based on results and facts as well as undeniable measurements taken over a few years by myself and on the vast experience of those with many years more nitrous experience than myself.

The same applies for the timing, all thnigs being equal you are probably right. Bad or low octane fuel will make you wrong.

The same can be said of any modification so I hardly think that's a fair statement. Even if you did re-tune a car for nitrous, you wouldn't tune it with 10:1 AFR's - you'd stick it where it made the most power and safely. Just like too much ignition timing, boost, compression etc, low octane fuel makes for problems.

One more thing on the ignition issue - if you'd genuinely like to understand why adjusting the timing for such low levels of nitrous oxide isn't necessary, please PM me and I'll explain it. Same as anything, when you understand a couple of key points it becomes really simple. It would surprise some to know that you can actually start putting extra timing in when using a moderate amount of gas! :D

Yep, sorry dude. Wasn't having a go at you.

Its a pet annoyance of mine when people get idiolised(with or without good reason) and you are not allowed to have a different opinion.

I am interested in this comment, if you wish to explain it further ?

I agree with everything else you say. Be quite intersted in your EGT results too if you wish to share ?

Buy the NOS kit from ROCKET it will be far cheaper.

I ran 100-150hp wet nos kit on my V8 soarer with only a decent fuel pump. We also set up quite a few NA 300zx with 100-150hp NOS kits and all are still going strong 6 years later, reliability is all in the setup and restraint on behalf of the owner....... it is too easy to keep fitting bigeer and bigger jets until something goes wrong.

Be sensible and you will have no issues. The ceramic wheel on the turbo may be an issue if you go too big in the jet size but for 60-80hp you should be sweet.

hay nothing wrong with running 15 psi on a stock turbo, for some reason i can't kill mine, been doing it for a year now, and the bustard still wont die. Actually its 15.6 psi. HIHIH.

hahha soon it will happen lol. I ran 17psi on my ceramic turbo, lasted 12months then one day i took off from a set of lights and then i heard a ching ching ching sound, and then no more boost more me hahha. Its fun taking out our cat to remove all the peices of the ceramic turbine... :laughing-smiley-014:

As 2rismo has already said, setup wise there isn't too much in the way of hardware required.

The tune is important however. Getting the mixtures right with the fuel and nitrous jets isn't really hard it's a little time consuming. 2rismo, may have a few combo's to try if you start with similar components. The timing needs a little backing off and you need to be prepared to drive the car a little differently. If you can get the solenoids as close to the jets in the intake as you can, so you don't have any 'run on' and you get a better hit if you haven't invested in a purge kit (still no where near as good though).

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
