Whether its its right for you or not is hard to say. Nitrous has a tendency to attract those looking for easy fixes for a problem when in fact it takes serious commitment, and has major consequences if you are careless. Another thing to consider if you plan to compete is now you have multiple power adders. That’s not allowed in some classes, or may put you in a class that is very hard to compete in. The price tag you see will balloon significantly when you factor in all supporting work to make it safe and reliable. It’s still a very affordable power adder though. If if it were me, I would continue refining what you have until it is working very well, and if you have the resources and desire to go much faster, consider it than. |
Most turbo setups shut down the nitrous when at full boost. Is this your plan? If it is, you should be fine with current parts. Might need to go a tad colder on plugs.

That was not really the plan i was hoping to launch click second gear and push the go baby go button i thought a 75hp shot was realistic as i could just fatten up my fuels a little and throw a wet-shot onto it.as my timing is apparently already very conservative.

Megasquirt can do table switching for adding fuel with nitrous the "right way" if you want.
|
the advice i have recieved which is run a slightly larger fuel jet and pull a lot of timing and work my way up i wish i had a megaquirt or haltech but the aem i have is very basic so i have to be a little careful but at the moment im at 20-22 degrees at the moment and 12.8 fuels and 26 psi.and from what iam told thats conservative i will have the kit monday and i have started looking into a bottle heater and remote pressure gauge

Nitrous will be most beneficial to you on the launch if you have enough tire to handle it. |
Almost forgot one very important thing I learned the hard way. Nitrous is notorious for blowing the back cylinder on inline fours. If you have a single fogger and it’s very close to the throttle body, the back cylinder will ingest most of the nitrous. You need the fogger at least 9 inches upstream from the throttle body so the charge mixes properly with the incoming air.
I’ll never again run nitrous with a single fogger because of the mixing issues. |

Tyres are on 225/50/15 mickeys are a fair bit taller and seem a fair bit wider its a perfect fit. I still waiting on Nitrous kit they fucked up the order i am also going to order a bottle heater and a window switch and a purge kit as i want to do this properly.

Remind me which Mickey Thompson you went with. I could not find it in the thread.

Nice!
Plan to test tires before nitrous? I am dying to see the difference in tires alone. |
So bad ass.
|
Ok i have the kit i will start making the mounts for the boot and start looking into controllers.
I am going to the drags this Friday and see how much difference the tyres make then i will go again but with the bottle the only question i am hoping someone can answer i have a walbro 460 in-tank pump i wont be anywhere near its limit or my factor hard lines will i ? https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...e72cc0ffeb.jpg |
Pump is plenty enough, but you really should upgrade to 3/8th” fuel lines.
|
why's that?
|
OP is already around 400 whp, so on nitrous could be anywhere from 450 to 500. The curvy 5/16 fuel line from tank to fuel rail creates an awful lot of friction to keep up with the gaping hole feeding both injectors and fogger nozzles. Particularly when you factor in the sudden release of fuel and harder g force in drag race conditions.
|
So the bottle is mounted probably a little overkill
