Nitrous newbie have a few Qs
Ok, i just bought a used NX wet kit for my car. It came along w/ an msd window switch and a NOS purge kit. Is there anyting else i need, my car is an M6 will i need a fpss and if so where can i get one? I ll need a bottle heater i know that and some TR6 plugs will go in before the N2O. I there anyting else the car is my DD so i want it to be as safe as possible.
A friend of mine had a bone stock(air lid) 01 SS M6. He ran the NX with a 150. No fpss, no fuel pump. He did change the plugs to the TR6s. He ran consistent 12.0s@119. Although the pump and ss would safen' it up a bit,
You have two options really on the fuel pump. One would be a Walbro pump and a hot wire kit. You'll have to do some modding to get it to work and you'll loose some functionally of the factory fuel system. Option two would be a Racetronix kit. It's plug and play and retains all of the factory fuel system. We carry the Racetronix fuel pump systems & carry FPSS.

If you keep the shot around 100. The stock pump should be ok. Make sure the AFR is in check. The Window Switch is real important since you have a M6.
Spend the money and do it right. Or expect to spend thousands later. Don't do what my friend did and slap a kit on. He lost his whole car at the track due to a Nitrous Backfire. Car went up in flames.

We suggest a fuel pump upgrade for anything over a 100 shot for safety reasons. I know people spraying 150 on a stock pump.The only way to know for sure its a good strong pump that will handle the extra volume is to put a gauge on it. When you rip ito it if the pressure does not drop then you are ok.
We carry the racetronix systems.They are deffintly the best way to go.But for what you are looking for and on the budget you are on you could do a simple walboro intanke pump for 125.00.That will support what you have on a 150 shot easily.

if i just run a fpss will that protect my car? the n2o would just shut off if my pump wasnt handling it correct? those are quite a bit cheaper for now, eventualy i will buy nice fuel pump. the car has 72xxx it will need one sooner or later anyways just cant aford it right now
and thanks for all the help guys

A FPSS is designed to shut off your nitrous kit if the pump fails, not as a safety net for an inadequate fuel system. If possible watch your FP when you spray the vehicle and stay with a 100 shot until the fuel system is upgraded. I know the fuel pump kits aren’t inexpensive, but look at it this way, they are cheaper then a new motor.

I ran a 150 dual stage shot on my T/A with the stock fuel pump for about 4 month’s then my fuel pump went out after I put in a bigger stall and headers y-pipe and tuning I mean right after I done this I didn’t drive it a week before it went out. Hope this help's.
