My first question is, do I need a specific type of stall converter for nitrous, or will just a regular Yank 4k work?
I'll leave that for the auto guys to answer.
Second, I know you have to tune the car for nitrous, but is there anyway to keep my car where it will still run great even off the juice? Like possibly a hand-held tuner that can save custom tunes?
This is kind of what I do. I use a Timing Tuner. It's nice because it has a built in window switch, adjustable timing retard while the kit is activated, and a delay feature. It allows me to run full timing while on motor and then retarded timing while the kit is activated. It's nice, but kind of pricey...I picked mine up used off here though.
Also, i have heard that if you go over a 100 shot, that you need to replace your fuel pump, I wasn't planning higher than a 100, but I may just replace it anyway. What do ya'll think, and would you suggest a walbro 255lph, or something else?
I would just do an in tank Walbro 255lph pump. It's cheap insurance and pretty easy to install as long as you don't mind cutting a little trap door in your hatch area. That's what I used (originally used it with a Caspers hotwire kit but ditched that) It was fine last year with my cammed setup with various jettings up to 200rwhp shots. The Racetronix kit is a good upgrade/alternative also.
What all do I need for a complete nitrous setup? I know I need a window switch, a WOT switch, a bottle pressure gauge, i want a remote bottle opener, remote bottle heater, and of course the bottle and the jets, but what am I missing?
Most of the kits now (I know HSW and NO do) come with WOT switches and bottle pressure gauges. The remote bottle opener...ehh there's a lot of other things I'd get before that. I would say a bottle heater is a VERY good idea especially if running a wet kit (I got mine from Dynotune for like 100 bucks) and a purge is also a good thing to have.
i am wanting to order a kit, or maybe just put one together, that can just be installed and away i go.
I was the same way. I bought a dual nozzle dry kit and then a wet plate kit from HSW and both kits included most of the little things you need to install and both have performed flawlessly. Good stuff.
I am wanting to get this as my next mod, and I am saving money as we speak, so any info would be awesome guys. Thanks. |
