What do you guys think of my plans for a setup...(couple questons too)
What do you guys think of my plans for a setup...(couple questons too)
Alright first and for most this is for a 2000 3.8L v6 Camaro. But nitrous is relatively universal.. I copy/pasted my post from another board to here...
Alright just picked up my used NOS Wet kit.(cost me $300 if you were wondering)
Right now I have...
-Nitrous line(enough to run bottle in hatch cargo area)
-Fuel line(12 in. long?)
-NOS nitrous solenoid
-NOS fuel solenoid
-ACCEL fuel pressure guage(mechanical), on a T-fitting hooked to fuel line
-NOS WOT switch
-NOS Relay
-NOS Bottle warmer
-NOS 10 lbs. bottle
-Arming switch
-toggle switch
-NOS nozzle
COuple fittings, guy forgot to bring the bottle mounting bracket and extra jets but said he'll ship them too me. JEts don't really interest me they are big boy jets. And I was thinking of making my own bracket beforehand with some universal fire extinguisher brakets I have at work. Said he didn't have to worry about it but he is sending it anyways.
Either way, I am gonna test everything out well before they even see my car.
My plans
-Extra Nitrous solenoid, gonna run them both as a safety feature just in case one decides to get stuck open. Especially with a used solenoid
-I am gonna get complicated on the wiring, want a light showing each switch/solenoid is working on a board.
-Gonna buy a couple jets, thinking of starting off with 35 shot first just to get the hang of it and get the system bugs working
-Maybe not right away, but bottle pressure guage.
-plugs, likely NGK TR6
-Try an hide everything on this car.
-Run a push button, as another feature to have the nitrous flow when I want it too.
-likely NOS filters
My questions
-Window switch... where to get one? what do they cost?
Any alternative to a window switch? just need something cut the nitrous when the car pulls fuel.
-Fuel pressure regualtor, do I need one? Any brand names, I can look up?
-Fuel presure safety switch? Once again do I need one, any brand names to look up?
-Fuel hook up. Where to tap in? Schrader valve seems popular on our v8 brothers, where is it at on our car, I haven't even looked for it yet. Any better locations?
-Wet kit nozzle mounting... Where at and how? TB spacer? Tap the TB? Which is better before or after the buttefly?
-Fuel system whats the most you think I coudl do on the stock system?
-Any easy upgrades, that coudl be undone easily?
-Retarding the timing? how do I do it, and when do I need to start doing it? I can get 100 octane to counter act it a little.
Feel free to add any advice if I am missing anything.

you don't retard the timing with a wet kit at your levels, and an extra nitrous solenoid is pointless, an extra fuel maybe to be safe. Msd makes a good window switch and it's good to have. With the amount of nitrous you are going to be spraying I wouldn't worry about a fpss or alot of the things you are planning.
ehh my thoughts on the extra solenoid is, I have a used kit...
If the solenoid doesn't open no big whoop, I run way rich for a run. If it gets stuck open, I will run the entire bottle of nitrous through my car. I know its being a little cautious but better safe then sorry, especially on a USED kit.

I would just buy a new solenoid then.

What downfalls are there? I am likely going to buy a new solenoid, and this one is likely fully functional, what harm is there in running two?
there really isn't a harm, just more wiring and connecting the solenoid. Alot of people are paranoid with nitrous. I have a 200 shot on my car now, no window switch, no fpss, no extra solenoids. With the jets you are going to use even if the fuel solenoid didn't work you probably wouldn't do any damage, the computer will richen the car a little to compensate.
Plan is to get a TB spacer and drill into that...
the MAF is incorporated into the TB, I woudl prefer to keep it behind that.
some people have tapped their TBs, but reason I went the nitrous route is ease of getting the car back to stock
