Default My Nitrous Build

So I'm planning on putting together a nice N2O system for my 06 GTO. Running stock internals with K&N intake, Kooks LTs, and a full Magnaflow system. I have Lew doing a tune for me as well. Im currently deployed overseas, but plan on having a nice garage full of parts waiting for my return.

Heres the parts I've gotten so far...

-NX 90mm Plate kit. (Got a deal off a friend who had this stuff and never used it)
-NOS RPM/TPS switch
-NX purge kit
-NX remote bottle opener

Heres the "need to get" portion of the setup

-Plugs
-N2O Filter
-FPSS
-Bottle Heater
-Solenoid mounts
-Nitrous Outlets trunk mounting plate

Trying to go for a nice clean setup. Not trying to hide anything, but I want it to look nice and orderly under the hood. Still trying to decide on which solenoid mounts I should look into. Anyone got pics or ideas of mounting spots?
Im trying to run a 100 to start out, and eventually plan on running the 150. Gonna have Lew kick back my timing by about 8-10*. I know the rule of thumb is 2 per 50, but im trying to give myself a little extra safety, I can always put the timing back in after a few passes down the track and reading the plugs. Anything I'm leaving out? Or any help or hints from the experienced guys? Ive done a TON of reasearch, but I love learning so any input or advice is awesome. Thanks guys

Personally I would ditch the FPSS and run a wideband with a controller that has a lean shut down switch built into it.

Why ditch the fpss. Keep it in the build. Adds another safety feature.

What he was talking about does the same thing the fpss does.

I get it. And it sounds like a nifty piece of equipment. I just never seen one before. I still dont know whats wrong with the 2 FPSS tho. I understand its more things to go wrong, but in the event of a FPSS failing, there is no harm done. Just no spray when you want it. I have a schematic that someone else drew up. seems solid, just wondering what the downside is.

This is our controller. It has a built in window switch, tps function, dual stage setup, it handles more amp draw than most of the other controllers. It also has AFR correction via wideband.

Let me know if you have any more questions!

You should run dual redundant nitrous and fuel solenoids also.

MEDIA INFORMATION


Nitrous Controllers
Launcher Nitrous Controller
PART #: 15977NOS



Any racer will tell you it's easy to make horsepower…getting it to ground is the hard part. Since making runs on the knife–edge of traction is essential to get the win light, serious nitrous racers utilize methods to soften the “hit” when they squeeze the juice. If it's too violent, the run goes up in tire smoke; too soft and E.T. is left on the table. Until now, taming a nitrous system involved a dizzying array of dials, switches and relays. Those days are gone!

Nitrous Oxide Systems is proud to present the Launcher. It combines all the functions a nitrous racer could ever want into a single, easy–to–use controller. This handy device can be programmed to independently control up to 4 stages of nitrous from a laptop computer or via an available full color 3.5” LCD touch–screen. Easy to use graphical software makes the Launcher a breeze to program. The launcher is available in 3 basic configurations. It is available as the launcher controller only; the Launcher controller with 3.5” color LCD touch–screen (Includes stylus and mini SD card for data–logging); or the Launcher controller with the handheld tuner for data–logging and quick changes in the staging lanes.

Nitrous control has just been taken to the next level!
