Please help finish my N20 Kit. Almost ready!

[darkrom]

Hey everyone I am new to N20 and this is my 1st kit and I am pretty pumped to have it. I want to get it on the car before the 10th so I can run N20 at Battle of the Imports at the local track.


I THINK all I need is a window switch, but I can't tell if I also need a TPS switch too or if that is part of it. I will take it somewhere to have it installed and tuned professionally, but of course I will need to finish the kit with the parts needed.



Here is a link to the thread where I bought it and it shows everything that came with it.

Can someone tell me what is needed and if at all possible link to a good place to buy it. I need to have it 100% ready to install before I take it anywhere. Again I know I am rushing but I will just run no N20 instead of running it dangerously or half ass. Still would be nice to have it ready before the 10th.


Thanks everyone!

PS I read everything I could but I don't wanna take a chance with something as potentially dangerous as N20

[Civicn33b]

i dont think rushing to get anything boost related on is a good idea, take your time, do more homework, and get it right the first time around

[rcracin13]

first off, nitrous isnt dangerous. just like everything else, if u do it wrong, it will be dangerous

second, look into a progressive controller. i have a dynotune window switch and its wonderful, but research the progressive and you'll see why its better.

here's my switch

Digital Two stage rpm window switch with built in TPS switch for nitrous oxide. Nitrous oxide rpm window switch at discounted prices. Controls two stages of nitrous oxide. - Digital Two stage rpm window switch with built in TPS switch for nitrous

read up on what mad monkey's plans are.

get a fuel pressure safety switch, an a/f gauge or a wideband, and im not sure off the top of my head if anything else.

Nitrous oxide air/fuel ratio lean shut-down switch for use with nitrous oxide systems. Will shut nitrous down if a lean condition occurs while using nitrous oxide. - Nitrous air/fuel ratio lean shut-down switch

that's 2 in one. it serves as an a/f and shut down if you're running lean.

dont forget colder spark plugs. also a purge kit if you dont have one.

i'll post more later when i think of stuff

[darkrom]

rracing thanks a bunch. I remember the day we went back and forth bitching and appologizing on the same subject haha.

Thanks a lot man! Ordering the switch u suggested today. Possibly the Air Fuel too!


Thanks a million.


Again let me say I will not rush it unless I can rush it properly. I'll pay for rush delivery but I wont run it without safety parts I want or a decent tune/set up. Thanks!

[darkrom]

If I got that lean shut down switch would I still need to get a fuel pressure safety switch? I ordered the window switch already. Thanks a ton. If I can get this done before Battle of the Imports I'm buyin anyone close enough to stop by a few beers haha.

If you dont already have one, it might be worth getting a P2R Throttle Body spacer. It has a port already on it for N20 input.... this way you dont have to cut holes in your intake tubing.

Just a thought

[rcracin13]

you wont need a fuel pressure safety switch because the a/f lean switch will shut down nitrous. however, that dynotune lean shut off switch is really ugly imo.

did u get the dynotune window switch or the progressive? if ur gona go with the dynotune, im willing to sell you mine because i want a progressive

I'll see if I can find pics of what Im talking about. When I installed mine it had a little hole w/ a plug in it on one side. i wondered what it was for and after a little bit of research I found out its for N20

[rcracin13]

yup you're correct. thats freaking awesome. im in there like swimwear. i'll order it very soon.

Yea, I cant find pictures of it... but heres the product description for the spacer. I underlined the part Im referring to.

Increase horsepower and torque with this 3/4 inch throttle body spacer. Our spacer comes equipped with a 1/8th inch NPT threaded port at the bottom that can be used as an extra vacuum port or nitrous. Includes extended bolts, plug, and is anodized for a brilliant show-quality look.

If you put the nitrous port on the P2R gasket you will likely end up with a burned cylinder and cursing nitrous like others do because they didn't know how to handle it.

Why?

Your nitrous is injected in a high pressure rate. If the nozzle is very close to intake manifold you will not have a balanced amount of N2O distributed in all of your cylinders making one or more of them run dangerously leaner than the others.

Take your time and review your nitrous installation guide you will see that it specify that the nozzle must be almost a foot away from the throttle body. The reason is what I stated in the above paragraph.

dang, Im itching towards N2O too..

yup its recomended to have the fogger spaced AT LEAST 6 inches from the throttle body. any good kit w/ instructions will tell you this.

Good to know. I dont have nitrous... I just know that the extra hole int he P2R spacer is for N20 or another vacuum hose.

I got the dynotune. Like I said I was rushing and ordered it, or I would have ordered yours. That should be fine for the lil baby 55 shot I will be running anyway. .....I hope

Yeah well make it up to the track sometime and see how you like it man. You are local check it out any time.

[darkrom]

How easy is a purge kit to add on? If its something that is very simple I will just get that after import wars....I am low on funds as it is now. I'd love to have nitrous for the wars, but I guess if its worth doing its worth doing it right.


What is a fair price for a shop to charge for a N20 install?

[So*Cal-Si]

Time out....I run nitrous. I have a 75 shot NOS brand and dont have a pruge kit a/f sensor or window switch. Its not even on a switch to my pedal. I have at three way switch on my horn, horn on, both off, and N20 on. Ive been through about 4 tanks and no damage. Am I missing the danger and just been lucky?

[projectprelude]

lol wow this is my old kit.. you can just wire the white wire off of the control unit into the tps directly and then calibrate the full throttle setting and your good to go man
