Well it's finally done.

My car:

LME 408 stroker with Wiseco/Callies/Eagle guts
Trickflow/TEA heads
Patrick G cam
Kooks 1-7/8
HAL/QA1 shocks/springs
Full Spohn/BMR suspension
Six Speeds Inc. 4+ transmission
Textralia Exo-Skel
Moser 12-bolt
3.5" driveshaft

I picked up my nitrous system from Nitrous Outlet back in December. I dealt with Ray every time I needed anything and he was the very best tech/sales/cool dude I have ever dealt with, without a doubt.


So here's the nitrous list:
Dave's 90mm plate kit
Dave's 10lb bottle
Dave's head mount solenoid bracket
Dave's 4-button ashtray panel
Dave's purge
Dave's nitrous filter/lines
Dave's tunnel bracket
860 bottle bracket/heater
NX bottle jacket
FJO mini-progressive controller
Dynotune lean shutdown switch

Ray swapped me over to the FJO mini-progressive instead of their combo window/TPS switch as it had the same functionality plus a progressive. He also had them swap out the momentary bottle opener switch in the panel to an off/on rocker. He took care of a leaky feed line fitting crimp in no-time flat. He then had his guys make up my custom solenoid to plate lines, and he even found/ordered some -3an 45* male/female BLACK Earl's fittings (probably the only 2 in the country lol). This was over the course of a few weeks and several calls after I realized the stuff I needed and how I wanted to redo the lines.

It took me quite a bit of time and a few miles of wire, but I got it all straighted out eventually.

My "bottle opener" switch is really wired into my FJO controller. I have the single nitrous system tied into both Stage 1 and Stage 2 on the controller. With the flick of a switch I can swap between my programmed stages. I can setup each stage on the progressive however I'd like, and run whichever one I'd like. I currently have it setup to activate Stage 1 with the switch off, and activate Stage 2 with the switch on. This is basically turning off/on my 1st gear lockout for those 70mph+ blasts.

I swapped out the standard 24" lines to some 12" units with 45's on the plate and the lines came out VERY nice. It's almost a hidden wet kit lol. My fuel system should be 1000rwhp ready (see 2nd post). It wasn't till I tried to spray the kit the first time that the reason my car was leaning out when it'd get cold outside was revealed. Turns out that 1 Walbro 255 (either one by itself) isn't mean enough to handle my 408 by itself, even with the fuel system I've got now and a hotwire kit on the pump. I would have to fudge the PE table to 11.8 just to make it run 13:1 on motor. When I click on the second Walbro 255, it runs exactly 11.8. This problem drove me INSANE the last few months, but now I have figured it out. I am now going to wire them both up to run constantly.







This is my Harlan shift light and Dynotune switch.....



FJO controller and wideband controller (black wires) stuff.....



Purge.... can ya see it????



Here's my -8 Tee with -8 x -4 reducer that the system pulls it's fuel off of.



The head plate works PERFECT with some 12" lines and some 45's. I was proud of the Krylon job on my FAST and didn't want lines running across it.





She's a little dirty in this picture still. The coils are relocated to the framerails on either side if you're wondering. Valvecovers are from Aaron@IntakeElbows .com.



Well there ya have it. I'm pretty proud of how clean it came out under the hood considering how many hoses/wires/etc. I've got going on. I haven't actually sprayed it yet, still working on an issue before I do, but I expect it's going to DO WORK. The car has been 11-teens at 126 on motor with mucho problemos (wrong pushrods, no timing, flywheel coming loose, pinion angle backwards (lol), and the rev limiter blasting at the 1000 ft.). I expect it to do 10.80@130 on motor or better, looking for high 130's on a 150 shot, not too worried about ET, but I've got 200 pills on standby if I start itching for some 9's. I'm putting in 3.73's right now and I'm doing all this on the tires/wheels in my sig!

I'll get some pics of the purge in action. It's about 8' high with 600psi, looks nuts with 1200psi. I am also aware that I need to put the nitrous pressure switch on the bottle port lol. If I were to kick the heater on and forget to turn the bottle on, I will be testing out that damn blowdown tube quick fast. When the bottle goes empty the first time I will swap it over.

Again, HUGE thanks to Ray@NitrousOutlet/Nasty Performance/fellow LS1techers for helping me get it together.

Cliff notes: Nitrous fed 408 stroker is completed.

 

My fuel system:
Dual Walbro 255 in-tank's
Dual 10awg hotwire kits from alternator to relays in rear
Dual -6 feeds out of tank
1/2" npt Y-block
-8 feed line
-8 Magnafuel filter
Nasty billet rails
-6 crossover/line to reg.
Fuelabs regulator mounted on stock feed
Stock feed = new return line

Here's the pictures.

 

very nice man! Looks like your doing it right!

 

Looks good!!!

How are you getting fuel off the rails to your fuel noid? From the back of the rail??

 

clean *** install...love the switchs..great job..dont want to hijack but just figured i would share a few pics with u of mine

 

how much do you have wrapped up in that sweet *** braided line blowdown setup
can you list everything necessary please....?

I WANT ONE TOO!!!

Looks awesome very professional install

 

Real nice work Blur! Well thought out!

 

Looks great. I will be starting mine as soon as the kit goes in.

Bill

 

Good pictures and information. Excellent job on your car.

 

Very nice work, love the attn. to detail, always pays off

Yes, I am pulling fuel off of the back of the passenger side rail. The line coming in is the main feed, so the nitrous sees fuel before the injectors. Any pressure drop in the line will be compensated there first, especially with my true return system in place.



-8an fittings/hose
180* earl's ano-tuff hose end
straight earl's ano-tuff hose end
90* earl's bulkhead w/ bulkhead nut
'bout 3 foot of hose
NHRA blowdown from nitrous outlet

The black (ano-tuff) bulkheads were backordered so I used some semigloss spraypaint and dried it under my tripod lights. Its just as hard as the ano-tuff and matches just right.

 

Very nice install....love the way those 45* fittings worked out with the head mount.

Thanks for all the kind words, I am just glad you are happy.

Ray

 

Very nice and VERY clean! I like what you did with the blow down tube.

 

holy hell dude!!!!!! This makes me want to miss work friday just to see this thing at Khols

 

Nice set-up. I am getting ready to do a dual Walbro set-up for my 200 shot.

 

awsome setup man,very neat and detailed!!

 

Very Nice!!!!

 

Nice setup! It does take awhile to install it "clean" at least it did on mine. Ill have to come out to Kohls and check it out what night are you going out there?

 

I should be out there this weekend if it's not too crappy outside Jason, but that's seeming more and more like a long shot considering the weather we've been having lol.

Thanks for all the compliments guys. I spent quite a bit of time trying to make everything purdy. I was really pleased with how the blowdown tube and the solenoid to plate lines came out.

 

What are you useing for return lines?
