Making my own kit-What do i need?

Im putting together a small kit. 50 shot max. I want it small and simple. I have a 2lb bottle and valve so far.I know i need some stainless line, A silonoid, nozzle and jet. Single nozzle system. I want to wire it this way.. On/off switch==WOT switch==hand held normally open button swich==to silonoid. Do i need special swiches? or can i use stuff from radio shack. Anybody know what Silonoid or nozzle i should get??Most will be bought off ebay. Thanks for any help.

From: Texas, it's like your state, but better.

yes to all..

sounds like a pretty good idea, just take your time and spend some time/money on the switched and connections. make sure that you have good grounds, and you should be able to safely spray a 75-125 thgough the maf w/ no other changes.

i wasnt happy enough w/ the off the shelf stuff, so i made my own as well

Personally, I wouldn't run a dry nitrous system without at least two solenoids in series, just to keep the chances of a locked noid down to almost zero. (Most people don't do this, but I'm a bit of a safety freak.)

Switches are switches, you can use any you like, providing they're rated to the voltage/amperage you'll be using. Use any brand solenoid, and any brand nozzle. (I used NOS solenoids and Zex nozzles.) Oh, and I don't think you'll be happy with that two pound bottle for long.

I put my system together too. Maybe you can get some ideas from my setup. Here's the link:

Good luck, keep us updated.
