Ok, guys....this nitrous kit is killing me sitting in the floor. I have to get the parts together to get this sucker going, and I'm wanting to do the stand alone setup.
So far, I have the nx wetshot and the msd window switch. Other parts I have listed to get this week are:
1. My purge kit
2. Bottle warmer
3. nx panel switch

I know I will need a 1 gal fuel cell(I want an aluminum one, unless someone lets me know that that is a bad idea). I also know I need another fuel pump of some sort. What else do I have to add to the list?

I need a good parts list from you guys that have been there or are planning on going there. I'm not in the market to spend a TON of money right now, but I do want some nice quality parts so I don't have to worry about this thing melting my mill.
If you could, on some of the more complex parts, list the purpose of that part.

One quick question as well. On a stand alone setup, how is the fuel pump activated, or should I say where/how is it hooked up to only activate when the window switch is activated at 3000rpms? Is it somehow wired into the window switch activating it? Also, how is it setup to not run too rich using a stand alone system, due to the fact that you're already getting a mix of fuel/nitrous, yet you're still dumping in fuel from your stock fuel system?

I know these may sound like stupid Newb questions, but I am a Newb when it comes to nitrous, so please bare with the stupidity.

 

i used a jaz plastic tank with foam in it. it was a nitrous enrichment tank from summit. you will need an electric fuel pump and regulater for it. you will need to run lines up the the engine compartment and a return. plenty of fittings. new jets for lower fuel pressure. relays. oh yay and put gas in the tank

 

If im not wrong you should have a nitrous solenoid and a fuel solenoid. Since you'll be using an electric fuel pump you could rig up a toggle switch to only pressurize fuel when your n2o system is armed and let the fuel solenoid worry about when and how much fuel. Good luck

 

You probably know that n2o (specificaly the "o") needs added fuel to make more power and not run too lean and blow the motor. on a wet system, it does not affect the stock fuel delivery(the fuel injectors), it only adds as much fuel (through the n2o nozzle) as the n2o needs. the same applies to a standalone system but you get to use race fuel to better burn the n2o. hope this clears it up a little more.

 

 

That does clear things up some. My only question is that I know that the required amount of fuel is being used through the n20 nozzle, but since I'm running a stand alone setup, I'm not pulling any fuel from my stock fuel system. Therefore, is my stock system going to be adding too much fuel on top of what is already being used with the standalone system, or is it ok to run more fuel than needed, or will it be too rich? I'm just not understanding the mixing process. On a normal wet shot, you pull fuel from the fuel rail to add to the nitrous before it goes into the injectors. Correct? So does that mean that there would be less fuel/fuel pressure going to the injectors themselves when the nitrous system is pulling fuel from the stock system, or does the fuel system just work harder to keep the fuel pressure and fuel supply to the normal level?

Like I said, a total newb here.
I appreciate the parts list too, guys. If you have any other parts to add, please feel free to throw them out at me.

 

In either a regular wet or a standalone the stock fuel system is not affected, it still gives the same amount of fuel via the injectors. Without the standalone, the fuel pump and pressure reg work harder to supply fuel to both the injectors and the wet manifold. You are getting the best poss N20 setup. IMHO

 

BTW, if for some odd reason you are running rich with the N2O you can always change your fuel jet to compensate. Its gonna take some tuning to get it perfect but you're on the right path, wet systems are very tunable.

 

Thanks a million for the info!!!
