Default About to purchase from HSW, need help!

Hey guys,

I am about to order a HSW Sudden Impact Single Nozzle Wet Nitrous Kit for my christmas project (girlfriend gone to australia for a month, got some free time!) I also think im going to order the ash tray switch plate and than i got to a cliff hanger. I need a purge kit! (well I want a purge kit!) I didnt know which kit I needed, the 4An fitting purge kit or the 6An purge kit. I would have searched but my comp is a pieve and wont use the search feature on the webiste.... electronics **** me off. Anyways, thanks for the responses!!!

Most kits require the 4an kit. just verify that is the size lines your kit will have when you order, and/or just call and tell them the kit. They will be along here shortly I am sure.

Australia? Geez, when you send her packing you really send her packing. I think we all need to take a lesson from this guy on getting some free time during the holidays

Sudden Impact = 4AN fitting.

Thanks!

Nick

Just send them on vacation man! Pretend your doing her a favor when your really doing yourself a much needed favor My other baby needs attention ( SS ). Looking forward to not having to feel quilty working on the car rather than watch "the hills" or some other inane program haha.

Ill want her back sooner or later tho!

At any rate I picked up a

HSW Sudden Impact Single Nozzle Wet Nitrous Kit
4an nitrous purge kit with extra kit
ash tray control switch

sound like a good list? I want a good kick in the *** when i hit that magic button! Hope this'll do the trick

You should added a Micro Edge to complete the system. It has most of your saftey circuits covered.

Haha sorry about that, cant blame a guy for being ecited. Its Nitrous, got it haha

And mike no I have never had the timing advanced at all. The car is bone stock 100% except a lid. I may get a borla catback over the break but that'll be pretty much all.
