Many of you know what happens when I get bored......I find something to do. I always wanted to know what a little shot of nitrous would do for me. I've thought about it for a long time and finally decided to jump. I contacted Nitrous Outlet and picked out all of the parts to make my system look good and be reasonably reliable. I also wanted it to be serviceable, so I bought weatherpack plugs and pins to allow me to remove or isolate sections of the system. I didn't want a permanently mounted switch plate, so I made one that allows me to plug it in when I want to go out and play.
Having the nitrous allows me a few things. In roll racing, I no longer need the high RPM in the gear to prevent from entering a gear with lower torque. Entering a gear at 4500RPM provides the power, but forces an almost immediate shift allowing my opponent to gain momentum. I bought an FJO window switch that will allow me to set it where I get the hit and have a reverse progressive curve as I gain RPM and boost comes in.


Here's the main part of the kit.



the FJO controller with USB interface



The plate



solenoids mounted on the intake



pinning the weatherpack harness


under hood harness completed



all connections soldered and covered in heatshrink


solenoid connections complete


falling TPS and coil connections for the FJO controller. Dark blue is the falling TPS voltage and green with a white stripe is the coil connection I chose. When programming the FJO, you must use signal X2 since the spark only fires every other revolution. If then PCM had a "wasted spark" function, firing every revolution, then no math function would be needed for setting up the coil parameters.


little custom switch plate.







cut and welded the power steering bracket to accommodate the space that the plate takes up.

 

Here are some pics of the brackets I made to mount the bottle to the bowl shaped area in the back well. I welded 1/2" studs to the brackets and use a large plate, washer and nut on the bottom side to hold the brackets in.
































With the carpet in.
I'm still waiting on the straps from Nitrous Outlet. They've been out of them for some time now.



Here's the bottle mounted with the cover on. It was a tight fit to get it under the cover.

 

I've had the opportunity to test this out and must say it's very nice!

 

Thats so awesome man! I was wondering when you were going to let the rest of the world in on the secret LOL

 

The mans crazy for sure... Like it!!!!!!!!

 

Bret, man only you and time on your hands and nothing to do. Crap that should feel nice when it hits how much of a shot are you doing man...Dont say 50 or 75

 

Just a little 150 shot from 3000-4400RPM. Once I felt it, I immediately wanted to step to the 250 pills.

 

I was starting to look like an A-hole with the A&A/NOS remarks.

Looks great Bret, how about some completed overall pics.

 

you crazy...

 

Sweet, that should provide a nice little kick it the butt to get it going. Like you needed it. lol.

 

 

I would figure you would spin in any gear when shifting before, how are you not spinning when this kicks in after a shift? Don't forget the big NOS stickers!

 

That has to be fun man. I dont know about the 250 with all the other man. But you are who you are...I was thinking 100 shot That has to feel good man and a good little kick in the azz...

 

Reading this makes me want to book a flight down just for a quick ride in this beast. I dont think theres gonna be much out there that will hang with you, you will get such a big jump on ppl. Nice job bro

 

Actually, you started it if you remember.





I haven't figured out what to do with my purge line yet. Soon as I do, I'll bend one out of stainless.

 

Automatics blow tires like nobody's business because of the converter. The nitrous doesn't hit after the first gear that I hit it in because of my window switch parameters. When WOT, I shift around 6500 and lose ~1krpm. That puts me above my window switch upper cutoff.

I'll be sure and get those stickers on ASAP!!

 

Could you put the purge nozzle in your seat pointing straight up?

 

Bret I've been waiting for this thread. Glad to see it man.

 

That is crazy. Hmmmm I have an old kit sitting in the basement....Has anyone ever drilled out a nitrous plate and put Meth nozzles in it? Was wondering if that could be set up in place of where the MAF is on most cars that go SD.

 

One crazy man if a 1022rwh isn't enough. lol
