Hi Guys.

So I'm in the process of testing a Sniper NOS kit in my NA 25GT R34.

Everything is installed and working, including both the nitrous arming switch and micro switch which is enabled on when foot is to the floor on the accelerator.

I've tested it by pulling off the intake and putting my foot down while the NOS is armed and it sprays fine.

I went for a test drive last night after completing the setup but when I had my foot down, i didn't feel a noticeable difference (75HP Jets). It felt like the car was starving.

Has anyone dealt with nitrous systems before running a stock fuel pump and encountered this issue? I started off testing with the 35HP jets and had a similar issue, so I'm just trying find where the problem is.

P.S. anyone have a rough idea how much nitrous a stock RB25DE would be able to handle? I've got aftermarket extractors and a 2.5" cat back exhaust

Thanks!

need a tune or nothing will happen, not to mention your afr's will be all over the place!

could potentially be damaging your engine, also don't you need an injection of fuel next to the nos jets?

I've never used nos and only know this from seeing other cars setup.

2 guys above, do you realize the sniper is a wet kit,?

Meaning fuel gets injected along with the nitrous.

Of course going onto a Dyno would be the easiest way to sort it, but as a budget approach not always an option.

I would be closely monitoring fuel pressure as the stock pump might not be up for it.

Based on how tough rbs are I would think they could take a fair bit if nitrous, what the factory ecu does is another story.

By your explanation it sounds like the pump isn't up to it.

Also you can buy wideband o2 kits for under 150, that would be a wise investment.

Good on you for gassing it!

Hey guys,

Thanks for your input.

I figured out the reason it wasn't working correctly and it was because the fuse was tripping. I had it wired to the cigarette lighter. I wired it directly to the battery with a fuse in between and seems to be working fine. Not sure why it felt like it was starving tbh :/

Had the car on the dyno today and 75hp jets gained me 35hp atw. Will be putting 125hp jets in at the drags next time I'm there and see how it does. Fuel pressure was fine, but it sure didn't feel like it when i tested it, still surprised of what the cause of it was.

An aftermarket ECU for it will make a big difference according to the bloke who dyno'd the car.

Now... to look for an aftermarket ECU for an r34 rb25de neo. Anyone know of any available? Any help will be appreciated!

Thanks

Sorry to hijack the thread, where can I find this wideband for under $150? I can't seem to find one for under $450, thanks.

    • What is the "compromise" that you think will happen? Are you thinking that something will get damaged? The only things you have to be concerned about with spherical jointed suspension arms are; Arguments with the constabulary wrt their legality (they are likely to be illegal for road use without an engineering certificatation, and that may not be possible to obtain). A lot more NVH transmitted through to the passengers (which is hardly a concern for those with a preference for good handling, anyway). Greatly increased inspection and maintenance requirements (see above points, both).   It is extremely necessary to ask what car you are talking about. Your discussion on strut tops, for example, would be completely wrong for an R chassis, but be correct for an S chassis. R32s have specific problems that R33/4 do not have. Etc. I have hardened rubber bushes on upper rear control arms and traction rods. Adjustable length so as to be able to set both camber and bump steer. You cannot contemplate doing just the control arms and not the traction arms. And whatever bushing you have in one you should have in the other so that they have similar characteristics. Otherwise you can get increased oddness of behaviour as one bushing flexes and the other doesn't, changing the alignment between them. I have stock lower rear arms with urethane bushes. I may make changes here, these are are driven by the R32's geometry problems, so I won't discuss them here unless it proves necessary. I have spherical joints in the front caster rods. I have experienced absolutely no negatives and only positives from doing so. They are massively better than any other option. I have sphericals in the FUCAs, but this is driven largely by the (again) R32 specific problems with the motion of those arms. I just have to deal with the increased maintenance required. Given how much better the front end behaves with the sphericals in there.....I'd probably be tempted to go away from my preference (which is not to have sphericals on a road car, for 2 of the 3 reasons in the bulleted list above), just to gain those improvements. And so my preference for not using sphericals (in general) on a road car should be obvious. I use them judiciously, though, as required to solve particular problems.
    • Easiest way to know is to break out the multimeter and measure it when cold, then measure all the resistances again once it gets hot enough to misfire. Both the original ignitor and the J Replace version. Factory service manual will have the spec for the terminal measurements.
