Since the wet set-up has been mentioned, I'll ask:
Where to plumb the nozzles? Weld bungs in the runners? Any pics or knowledge of anybody installing like that? The lower intake is quite cramped for plumbing nozzles. And NOSZLES don't fit either. :confused:

I have seen the new NOS kits that come with plumbed jackets for the injectors, you basically take your injector out, put the jacket in, then put the injector in the jacket, supposed to be the most efficient and effective way to boost torque. I dont know if they will fit under the SR though....

Scorp, post pics of your setup again or links to them.

Just wanted to know how Saturday's race went.
:iagree:

I suggest you send your runners out and have them custom plumbed for direct port.... If you feel like spending the money

I have SR runners plummed for a direct port. When I am motivated to put up $2K I will install a 200 shot.

I picked up my runners with this already set up. They welded a bead of aluminum on the inside and outside of the runners, then tapped them.

The holes are about 2" below the plenum.

I went in and removed most of the weld on the inside to get the flow back.

well, raced the prelude with the 75 shot of nitrous...we ran first on the motor(me on motor, him on spray) from a 25 kick, I jumped him hard and had a 2 car lead till almost 100 mph when he slowly pulled a car on me...turns out the new nos plate moved my throttle body so far forward that i wasnt getting full throttle (only getting 3/4 of the way..) anyways, he then burnt a plug and I had to wait and hour for him to change them. We then raced on spray and I obliterated him...half a block distance...

Well he had his car dynoed on a mustang dyno this weekend...it made on the motor 185 to the wheels...and when he sprayed it it popped... he was suppose to make close to 300 to the wheels on spray...sucks that he blew hi s motor...
