Direct port installed!

Hey guys just finished tapping out my intake manifold and bending the tubing for my new nitrous setup. Check it out...

Looks good. How big of a shot are you going to be running? 75 shot?

Between a 100 and 200 shot. I shall see what it takes to run the times I want.

Wow that's a lot of juice. Are you still on stock internals?

Woohoo! A 10lb bottle should last ~2.5 minutes@100hp and 75 seconds at 200 (~$20/minute and $40/minute, respectively) but is the most effective intercooler money can buy. We want to see numbers at 27psi AND nitrous!

As soon as I get my intercooler piping back with no holes in the welds it will be strapped on the dyno. And the boost will be turned up until I run out of fuel. Going to install a voltage clamp.

Question on the squirters...

is there any downside to having them on the manifold as opposed to the runners going to the intake vavles? The way they are placed, it looks like you could have a combo of throttle body and port injection like behaviours. But to be honest, Nitrous is all new to me so I'm just curious...

I put them as far away as I felt comfortable from the head. This lessens the abruptness of the nitrous hit. A 50 shot broke the tires loose in first gear on slicks. And that was with the nozzle on the cold intercooler horn (in supercharged form).

I don't see any problem with it. I have seen many cars with direct port installed in a similair manner.

Perhaps a progressive nitrous controller would be a good idea? Those quickly pulse the solenoids like a fuel injector to ramp up nitrous flow however you'd like.

This will not be used on the street. Strictly for the drag strip. My turbo will put out over 400whp. So I have plenty to spin third on the street. That's why I said I was running slicks. Previously when the car was twincharged it made 415whp and 400 ftlb of torque with a 50 shot.

I have a progressive controller. But I will see if it is neccesary in second gear. I may run a small shot in first to spool up the turbo... On a single nossle.

you talking about unmentionable? cause that's his deal.... also... you prolly haven't delt with this... but people always ask what to do... but when they don't do it right and decide not to listen EXACTLY tothe asnwer... they are quick to point the finger when it breaks...

I don't think paul was asking cause he doesn't know.... more checking if you know... .cuase he's does have the fastest STOCK sprayed car in the world

I have broken a very large amount of things and I have not pointed fingers. I have had people point fingers at me and question my intelligence (especially on the subject of launching at redline).

However no I am not talking about you know who (hope I don't get another strike posted against me ). I was refering to hubie. But it's cool you guys have caught a lot of crap in the past about tunning issues, when it was the tunner that was at fault.
