I like the fuel injector idea too. You could tune that portion electronically with no jets and as reliable as ever.

Ok from what I am reading the descriptions of 8 injectors controlling the fuel side of it??? That is a dry kit, and or a complete fuel mng system like a fast can do that. Not really ideal for the street guys. NX did have something call ENI. Electronic nitrous injection. But the expence was going through the roof on the electronic. I will check with FJO about rpming the unit, and the trans inputs, They are out until next week, I will let yall know what I find out.

is there anything else that maybe people want or need in the nitrous world. Still have not had one bad thing said. This is good, all are happy in the nitrous world.

Everyone have a happy new year.

Weekly NX tech tips would be awesome - direct from the source How
cool would that be NX has all of the most innovative products
over anyone else, it's pretty cool to come here and ask us our opinions
and answer our questions.

How about a general nitrous maintenance tech tip guide. Like what to
look for when inspecting solenoids, or even how to take them apart. Why
its important to run nitrous filters and when to change them. The
proper angle to mount bottles in different cars (verts vs coupes). Or even
tech tips on filling your own bottles (I can never seem to get the last
10-15# out of the master cylinder)

What about new products too. I read in another post that someone wired
a cigarette power adapter to a bottle heater to heat up spare bottles
while he was drag racing. I thought it was a cool idea, I hate having
to wait 1/2hr - 45mins for one of my spare bottles to heat up after the
first one runs out. Or even some more switch options from NX. I have
the NX switch panel, but cause I have a vert I had to install it inside
my center console, just no other place. But if we had a switch setup
sorta like the Turbo Action Command Center, where we could get the
switches to somehow install on the sides like that.

And for us 'vert guys who want to run two bottles. I have this guys
single brackets:
LINK
TO BRACKETS


but I would like to run 2 15#'s or even a 10 and 15#, but instead of
side by side like those ones, 'vert guys would need one bottle on top of
the other.

just tossin out ideas for ya . . .

i think it is a great idea, i am always learning new things when it comes to using large doses of n2o safely

looforward to the updates, and your flow tool i use on my direct port kit is AWESOME!

thanks

You know what I hate is that you can not saftly heat the bottle driving around town. The pressure transducer is mounted beyond or downstream from the valve. If you could have it before you would not have to leave the bottle on for the heater to work automaticly. I hate leavingt it on for hours at a time when waiting to fool around driving around at night. I would love to turn it on at a moments notice at have that 950-1050psi.

Just mount the sender in the aux. port of the bottle. here is my pic of my nitrogen push system, just put the sender in place of the check valve in the pic not the burst fitting. only bad part is you gotta emtpy the bottle first.

I don't know about the NX pressure transducer, and I'm not knocking NX products, I'd love to have all NX stuff, but it wasn't available to me at the time. But I have the NOS Super Hi-Flo valve with 2 gauge ports (almost the equivilent of NX's Pure-Flo 45 valve) with a gauge in one port and the DynoTune pressure switch in the other. Works great, never have to open the valve to check bottle pressure.

As for turning it on and having instant bottle pressure, unless your bottle is already heated, good luck. The only way to accomplish this is with a nitrogen push setup, instant pressure regardless of bottle temp. If you don't race at a track or they have idiot tech guys, this is fine, other than that it's not legal for use on NHRA tracks (not sure about IHRA).

How about a bottle heater with an AC plug that you could plug into a generator at the track to warm your bottle, or bottles outside the car.

p/n 15519 for the flow check tool. . 1" gauge with all the needed parts to set the flowing fuel pressure. Connect into the fuel side of a nitrous system (low pressure) and you can simulate the amount of fuel going into the engine letting you set the fuel pressure.

p/n15519 for the master flow check. Same as above except a 6" certified test gauge and protectinve plactic case.
This gauge is so accurate that if you lean the gauge from vertical it changes the preasure on the face. Very nice piece I must say.

Our new 45' bottle vavles have two ports already forged in. One for pusher and one for a gauge. Something here is that the pusher port will read different preasure than the liquid port. I would recommend putting the transducer into the liquid port.
.This is the only nitrous valve connection point that is not at 90' to the bottle. Help connect a hose in some tight areas.

Right now there are a few companies out there that offer such a heater, Moroso, Mr Gasket ( I think ) Canton, Really any company that deals with dry sump tanks. We have had a couple of discussion on this one, and right now I do not fell I could make it cost effective to the public.

there is a pic of it on their website, it is a very nice piece, easy to read and accurate beyond my requirements. hell before i bought it i used one that i assembled myself, with a small autometer fuel pressure gauge.

My bad it is suppose to be 15519 for the flow check and 15529 for the master flow check.

Ricky,

I think weekly tips is a great idea. Thanks!

My suggestion for a product improvement would be for the Maximizer to be able to independently control the fuel and nitrous. Specifically, I'd like to turn on the fuel slightly earlier than the nitrous. As it is, I'm getting a lean spike when it all comes on. I spoke to FJO about it a few months ago and was told that even though the system could do it (the fuel and nitrous noids are activated by separate drivers), there are no plans to provide this feature in the short term. Aren't other people having this problem?

I'm running a direct port on a SC'ed 3800V6 (GTP). The car has plenty of fuel pump and rails. I'm running a Weldon 2015 with healthy lines. The car puts down 411 to the wheels off the juice. I'm only up to a 90 hit so far as I've been eating TC's at the 1-2 shift like candy lately. Thanks to Steve and Dave at Nitro Dave's for helping me put together a killer system!

Here's a pic of the motor if anybody cares:
