Nitrous gauge questions! Can anyone take the time to tell me what the diff is between a #4 and #6 nitrous pressure gauge. I'm putting on a TNT F1 wet kit and I wanted to have the following gauges on a triple A-Pillar pod
1. Nitrous pressure
2. Fuel pressure
3. Air/Fuel ratio
I'm TOTALLY new to N20 so i really could use some direction here.
Finally, What does an isolator do for the Fuel pressure gage?? How does it work, and do I need it?
Hope you guys can help

Re: Nitrous gauge questions! Well, after a little research it looks like you need an isolator for a fuel pressure gauge to be able to install it in your cabin vs. in the engine bay.
ANYBODY KNOW IF THIS IS TRUE??
And a F1 kit uses a -4 line (thanks tony)
Guess this board aint all its cracked up to be, Thought i'd get some answers to the isolator question a little faster. <img src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" border="0">

you cannot have a mechanical nitrous or fuel pressure gauge in the cabin i believe, according to NHRA rules. you would need an electrical one. autometer is coming out with a nice electrical nitrous pressure gauge in january BTW.

Re: Nitrous gauge questions! I believe the isolator allows you somehow to run the fule guage, but wont allow fuel to leak if the gauge breaks and leaks. That's what I was lead to believe.
The TNT 2 5/8's electric nitrous is supposedly out next week and the 2 1/16 is about 2 months behind it.

Nitrous is okay, it's not flamable. Every sanctioning body I am aware of prohibits mechanical fuel pressure gauges in the cabin area with out an isolator. Think about an electrical FP gauge - less expensive and easier to install.

Re: Nitrous gauge questions! Thanks for the info guys
I'd like to wait for the triple gauge pod and install
1 air fuel, nitrous pressure and fuel pressure in it.
I want to have a switch panel in the spot next to the cig lighter.
I've ordered the NX RBO (didn't like the solenoid one from NOS(read you can't leave the bottle on cause it leaks, i'd rather be able to turn the handle remotely), and a FPSS (the only part i've recieved so far), The TNT F1 Wet kit, NGK TR6 plugs(running a 100 shot for now, will gap @.042"), and am looking for a bottle warmer and a purge kit. I figure that should be a good setup. <img src="images/icons/grin.gif" border="0">

Re: Nitrous gauge questions! Don't hold your breath on the triple gauge pillar from AutoMeter. I talked w/ them last week and they have no part number or release date yet. <img src="images/icons/frown.gif" border="0">
