i got an extra intake manifold that is being sandblasted and painted right now and i plan on spraying the car (again) to compliment the new cam package. I was thinking that since i have the extra manifold i might as well go for the NX direct port. May only be a 100 - 150 shot so do you think it is overkill? its only like 300 more than the TNT plate kit i was looking at (do not want to drill another nozzle...nx...) and isnt it more "reliable" and it just looks damn cool. Now the only place i know of that has it is racenet.net, any other places so i can at least look around? and i already have all the accessories from my last NX kit. (Heater, Window switch, fpss)

 

In actuality, a Direct Port System used for small hp settings can become very bothersome. The problem is in order to run "only" 100-150hp, you essentially need to place 12-20hp in each cylinder. This requires extremely small jets, which in turn are easily clogged with Debris.

The standard NX/NOS/TNT/etc systems work well for the typical 100-150hp system. The foggers are cool, but it is overkill IMO.

 

very true. I think i will go with the TNT kit.

 

What about using fuel and nitrous filters before the solenoids? And/or a progressive controller with bigger jets, like 200, and hitting a max of 50-75%?

 

You should always run the filters regardless, and they would help. But if you saw the fuel jets required to run a 150hp fogger system, you'd see what I mean. these things can get clogged before you even put them in, from any crap on your hands.

Not say using a a progressive controller would or wouldn't work, but now you are spending $3-4 times what you need to to get the job done. Its just plain overkill. Doing it this way you are now putting extra wear and tear on the solenoids also.

All this stuff is JMO of course.

 

I agree. Not only would you be cycling the solenoids for a few seconds to obtain traction, you'd be cycling them them for the the entire duration that you were spraying. Seems like that would put extreme wear on the solenoids.

 

How about for a 200 to 300 shot?
