Could I see some pics of your nitrous set ups. Putting a kit on my car and need some ideas for a clean install. Mostly interested in under hood pics. Thank you.
Your pin striping is amazing!View attachment 1715630199NOS Power Shot
What kind of system are you doing and how are you hooking it up?..Could I see some pics of your nitrous set ups. Putting a kit on my car and need some ideas for a clean install. Mostly interested in under hood pics. Thank you.
I have enough line to mount all the silenoids on the inner fender if i choose.
Sounds simple...I run a NOS mini 2 stage progressive with a window switch on each stage because it's a 4 gear. The first stage controls a Big Shot kit and the second stage turns the electric cutouts on 100 rpm before the kit activates. I have a WOT switch, clutch switch and a shifter button with a bypass switch that is usually bypassed.
Are you using a mechanical fuel pump?

I wouldn't see any reason why not but you still have to have a power wire going to them. I just used fuses coming off of any power lead to them.. also I activated them with a relay.. on my set up the low power activation wire to the relay first goes through a arming switch then to my activation switch on my shifter then through the full throttle switch up near the carburetors. Also it sends a low voltage signal to the timing retard. on the ground side of the relay it's hooked through the low pressure switch on the fuel system and ends up at the window switch.... Any wire coming off of the initial power wire has a fuse...Can I use the ground wire to activate the selenoids. Less chance off shorting out if a wire gets pinched or something.
As far as setting up the system you need a flow tool which is essentially a fuel pressure guage with a .073 jet. You set the regulator pressure at 5.5psi to start with the flow tool and drop a half pound up or down to fatten or lean out the tune. Regardless of using a 100 shot or a 175 shot etc always baseline the pressure regulator with the flow tool.
I also recommend a fuel filter and a nitrous filter. My fuel filter is after the regulator so i can flow through it. My nitrous filter is before the 1/4 turn shut off handle by the shifter.
Also note that i get my tach signal for the progressive/window switch thing from the pertronix rev limiter box. The low deck Accell cable drive tach was converted to a Petronix with a matching coil so no place to get a tach signal hence the rev limiter box. Waylon in the 8 track too..
