Re: NX Direct Port Install Update The kit does come with a blue anodized distro block. It has two inlets (one for fuel and one for N2O). And it has 8 outlets (4 on each side) for the plumbing.
The rails replace the distro block. I'll take a pic and send it to you.

Re: NX Direct Port Install Update no biggie on the picture. I was just curious. I have a cheapie Top Gun fogger kit, that came with that style of distribution block. I was wondering how NX wants you to set that kit up. Ive never seen that kind of dist block used. I fear it wouldnt promote very even distribution to the back cylinders, and not too keen on using just 2 solinoids for a large shot (my base jets are 200). Altho my block has two small inlets on the back also. If I could figure out a way to get 4 solinoids mounted on that block, I would be happy.

Re: NX Direct Port Install Update Kyle,
If Todd doesn't do it first, I will send you an email with a picture of the distribution block. Though I probably won't be able to do it till about 5-6pm CST.

Re: NX Direct Port Install Update Sorry I didn't get pic's of the distro block up last night. I was wiped out after work and the gym, and crashed early. I will take pics at lunch time and post them.
Dave...here is the jeeting I was given for 10psi of fuel pressure, of course I recommend reading the plugs and adjust FP accordingly:
HP.....N2O.....Fuel
100....20.......18
150....24.......20
200....26.......20
250....28.......24
300....31.......24
I would guess these to be conservatively jetted (on the rich side). That is why I say adjust the FP down if you are too rich.

Re: NX Direct Port Install Update Ryan...what you said sounds good about the distro block.
I actually asked about getting short flexable hoses instead of hard lines, but would have had to pay for them extra. I agree it would make life much easier for jet changes. Only thing is you'd have to figure out a way to mount the rails.
Could drill and tap the rails for some studs I suppose, and hard mount them using the same studs the fuel rails use? Or something similar?

Re: NX Direct Port Install Update Looking good Todd, that fogger set up is going to be awesome. Do you need another Weiand manifold? I took my off last weekend and put the GM LS6 manifold back on, I'm thinking of selling the Weiand.

Re: NX Direct Port Install Update I assume the block goes longways (8-port sides facing fenders) with the 2 inlet side upfront (or facing rear). 8 holes on each side, 8 holes per inlet? plug on sol. into the inlet...it feeds half the block and its 8 ports, and same with the other solenoid?
that make any sense?
now, on the rails...what is stopping you from using a 3-4" length of flexible hose and a something to mount the rails on? wouldnt that be easier for jet changes?

Re: NX Direct Port Install Update Mark...I'll keep my eyes open if anyone is looking. I am still fighting to get mine sealed. ATAP's last night and getting misses on #5 and #6. A sealing issues I am sure.
Pulled the intake and cut some new gaskets for it. I used some Mr. Gasket material and made them double thick and glued them togethter.
Hope it seals this time. I've tried everything else.

Re: NX Direct Port Install Update I was thinking using the 4(?) bolts that hold the fuel rails on and mount some aluminum brackets for both rails towards the middle of the intake. Then run that cool NX race line (the black nylon) to the nozzles mounted in the intake close to the cylinder as you have them. should make for easier jet changes and the rails could be somewhat out of the clutter.

Re: NX Direct Port Install Update Sounds like a good plan. I may change mine if it gets to be too big of a hassle. I don't really see myself changing the jets very often anyway.
