Best Setup
Best Setup
I want to eventually run a 300 shot on my engine...what would the best setup be? Direct Port, Plate or nozzle? I am leaning towards a plate system but am wondering about distribution? Any ideas?
With that much Hp, id say direct port aswell. The other ways of spraying are as effective as direct port and dont distribute the n20/fuel as evenly across the cylinders. Plate would be my next choice to go.
But, can you do a dual nozzle, dual stage nozzle set-up and not have problems sure, is it the best way to go...i dunno.
This question will be asked, but is your motor build for nitrous. I know its a built motor, but built for n20?

IF you are still using an LTx style manifold I would not go over 200hp on either a plate or nozzle...the reason is in the flow characteristicsd of that manifold.
For 250hp+ I highly suggest running a direct port. This lets you make sure you have good distribution, and A/F ratio for each cylinder.
Now if you are running a single plane you could use a carb style plate or spray bars in the manifold.

would you be able to PM me some info on setting up a progressive controller with a windowswitch, for the wiring etc....i have installed a few nitrous setups but all nozzle setups but no progressive controllers so they are all new to me....
How does a progressive controller work with a M6? I don't spray through gear changes...So would the progressive system start all over on the next gear change etc? Are there any good articles about running them on a M6?
How hard is it to program the unit? Would it be better to ramp up again or resume after shifts? I'll give you a call when i need the controller and go to hook it up..I'm just trying to gather a little info for the winter...lol
^ That would depend on tires, track conditions, street, etc. If your on a slick surface, such as street tires, on cold pavement, your gonna end up having to reramp into each gear until you can get traction.
As for your motor, you said no parts spared, but did the builder build the engine knowing it was going to see a large shot of nitrous? This will determine the piston ring end gap, which is absolutley critical on a nitrous motor. If it was designed to run NA with a tighter gap, and you run that much spray, even on the highest quality parts, you may be picking pieces of piston out of your oil pan, and rods off the pavement.

I'll be running ET street Radials at the track. Not sure yet if it will be a 200 or 300 shot. Only concern with reramping that i have and maybe shouldnt worry about is if i will be at the top of the gear before the full shot is in place. I'm not sure how quick or slow it can be adjusted.
The rings will be gapped for a big nitrous shot.
