Default Do you think this is resonable?

I want to get a nitrous kit completly installed and everything for $1,000 or less, it would be a 75-100 wet shot and i would need it installed becuase i can't do something like this myself. I want is to be as safe as possible and upgrade the fuel pump, and would bigger injectors help also?

I also want a purge, but it come come later if it will break my 1K mark.

Just curious if this is a resonable price, or if it would cost more

thanks,
Nick

this is already starting to get kinda exspensive, maybe i should shoot for 1 grand without install
i forgot about a bottle warmer
and i forgot to say this are the switches i would want
http://speed-eng.com/store/product_i...oducts_id=6674
but i guess i would just have the bottle open/close and purge not functional untill i got those things.

and this is were i want to mount the bottle


right now im at $653.00 for the kit, switches, and the black version of the bottle warmer that was posted

Here is a window switch and purge that brings your total to 851 with a fpss it would be right around 891. You would probly need colder plugs too but those are pretty cheap thats every thing you would need for a 100 wet shot.

Nitrous install is very hard the directions that come with the kit are usually pretty good you need basic hand tools and a drill usually depending on how you set it up but its definatly something you and a buddy could do.

i think he ment to say NOT very hard. As long as you do everything right (and it can be pretty hard to **** up) you will be good. Wiring just sucks.. especialy when you get into window switches...(notice my thread? lol)

i downloaded the car's manual and you were right, it says use premium but you can use middle or lower octanes but it will cause acceleration to decrease.

thanks for telling me that, i'm gona start using premium

I'm up to $732 for everything.

Dynotune wet kit - $369
Dynotune window switch - $129 (You can get one cheaper, I wanted 1st gear lockout)
Dynotune bottle heater - $119 (Again, this is an upgraded one that is automatic)
Dynotune Purge kit+ dual purge kit - $82 (completely optional part)
Jimmy Jams switch - $33 (see above)

All parts were new. So yes it can be done. Why can't you install it yourself? These things are easy.

BTW, on a 75 or 100 shot you won't need to change your tune, upgrade your fuel pump or injectors.
