Serious question why aren't we spraying these with nitrous?? Especially out of the track set it up and run 3rd and 4th and 5th gear

I think if you have the fuel you should hit it with a very small dry shot. More of a chemical intercooler.

I am a nitrous guy and I understand the compounding boost and a wet nitrous kit, so it doesnt scare me. I just would feel better about it if I have the upgraded hpfp. 

I dont see why more people havent.

Methonal and Nitrous are very compatible.  So something like a tiny nozzle, tap that nitrous nozzle into the throttle body housing in front of the actual throttle but just before it.  Such a small amount should work well ...maybe too well but wouldn't that tiny nozzle with like a Zex safe shot(35) shot be very safe?

It will be however, I would tap it directly post intercooler.  That will give it time to disperse with the boost and will lower the temp in the charge pipe and manifold.

Suppose it doesn't matter then to spray nitrous post intercooler and pre IAT sensor and pre methonal nozzles?

 

[802SHO]

With such a small amount to spray and since its a dry shot is getting a purge kit necessary and a bottle heater?

 

[76fomoco]

a purge kit would be a must as the line from the trunk to the motor will have gassed off.
guys at the track do not use bottle heaters but they are packing a second bottle as you can not use all of one bottle due to pressure drop

 

[sm105k]

Honestly, I would say no to both.  With such a small shot, bottle pressure really isn't a issue.  I always motor purged my nitrous, but if you want the cool factor of a purge then yes.

Yes, pre on both.

Purge your engine?  So I could just spray into the charge pipe to purge....yes a purge kit would be nice but an unnecessary cost if not needed.  Smallest jet included is .017.  That small enough?

Yes, hold the rpm at 2k and quickly press the button.  You will know when it hits, the rpms will bump. 

0.17 is perfect to start with.  I never got to see IAT temps with my Mustang, so it would be interesting so how low they can get.

 

[802SHO]

What's a price range for filling a 5lb bottle and what would be a rough estimate for how many passes I can get from one bottle?

Depends on the price per lb or nitrous.  Call your local supplier.  With such a small jet, that bottle will last at least 20 passes.

For reference. On my Mustang with a 10 lb bottle and a 150 shot, it lasted nine passes.  With both kits 4.75 passes.  It would stutter at the end of the fifth run.  I just shut one kit down right when it started stuttering and it would carry through on the shark fogger.

If my SHO with all the upgrades doesn't break 400 hp and click off a 12.20 in Oct...........

It will force my hand.  I have tried to reason with it and be nice. 

The conversation this morning at 430 am.  "Please do what you are suppose to.  Please don't force my hand and make me put a stand alone wet kit on you.  Please don't mess with me, because I am a stupid."

Thats pillow talk

Take it from me Easton these bastard sho’s just don’t listen. Now hit the son a bitch with nitrous.

Take it from me Easton these bastard sho’s just don’t listen. Now hit the son a b*tch with nitrous.

I am at those crossroads...lol.  I am out of turbo and fuel, so they need to be upgraded together to compliment each other. At roughly $3600 dollars, plus my labor and
my time ...it is worth it right now? I keep seeing turbo and fuel pump cars in the 480-500 hp range. 

For less then $800 I can build a complete stand alone kit, and with a 50 shot make the same power and most likely go quicker because of the instant ability of nitrous to make TQ.  It is tempting.     

 

[shoNoff]

Do it

if you would like I will "Loan you" my extra 13 HP over 400 so you can get there without spending the 3600.00 

 

[802SHO]

Do it or else this is going to happen
