Might be going N20, some questions...
Might be going N20, some questions... Well, I found a total Wet NX N20 kit for a great deal, and was thinking 75 shot for a lil' "edge" Heres the deal.
I have NGK TR55's in my car,do I have to go TR6??? What gap??
I also have a tune, when I checked everything out (with tech 2), it says I am running rich in left/right bank.
Is a "wet" kit safer than a "Dry" if I have proper setup/tuning?
The kit does not include a Window Switch, nor is WOT activated, is push button N20 a Good Idea? What are the desired RPM's supposed to be when you "hit the switch"?
Help is nice, I am new to N20, and kinda scared of running it on my car with 89k on the odo.
Thanks million everyone.

You're welcome!
Silly LOL. I looked, answeres seemed to be mixed, allmost as if I had to "choose" whos opinion was correct, just spawned more questions, and being new at N20, figured it would hurt to ask.
LOL, I think it took a lil more time to hit PRT/SCR, or to capture the screen image than it would to help a "brotha" out. Lol. Figured.

You would be better off swapping to a TR6 to be on the safe side. A gap of .040-.045 should be fine for what the 75-hp jetting you are wanting to use. Should you step it up you may want to re-evaluate your gap and close it a touch.

Not sure on that one as it could be several things. You may want to post that one in the "Tuning" forum and see who can help you with it.

That is a matter of opinion. There are several on here that run large doses (Myself included -wet.) of each kind (Wet and dry.). Each one has its benefits and its pitfalls. I believe you will be happy with either one.

The "push button" method has been used by allot of folks including myself for many years now and while some consider it "unsafe" and archaic it still remains the method in which many still activate their system. However, if you are new to this and would prefer to play it say then I would recommend either a W.O.T. microswitch on the throttle or even better a window switch. Just make sure you use an arming switch as well as you would not believe some of the crazy **** I have seen people do when wiring up a kit. I had one gent bring me his car and the arming and activation switch were the same switch.
An FJO controller would really be of some use to you here as it would allow you to not only control the system progressively but also acts as a window switch as well. You will need a laptop to dial it in. It also allows you many more benefits as you begin to up the jettings and trust me, you will in time. You can pick one up from Nitro Dave for $206.00. I love mine.
What are the desired RPM's supposed to be when you "hit the switch"?
There are many who do not adhere to this myself included but be safe and do not hit it before 3000-RPM. As I said there are many of us who are on the system before that but I DO NOT RECOMMEND DOING SO for folks who are jsut learning about nitrous. Again 3000-RPM is a safe activation RPM.

Now worries mate, so long as you are keeping your baby happy then she should keep you happy as well. Do your regular maintenance and make sure everything is in order and you will go through many, many bottles of the giggle gas, especially at a 75 shot. Nitrous rarely blows anything up on its own. 9 out of 10 times it is the users fault whether it be not paying attention, getting greedy or not maintaining the equipment and/or the motor properly.
There are a couple of other issues that you should address and it would be irresponsible of me not to point them out to you. One is that I would advise you to make sure you put a fuel pressure cutoff switch on your system. The reason for this is so that if your fuel pump takes a dump or for some reason the FP drops it will cut the power to the system and keep things from going boom. Also I would advise against you starting off with "push button" to activate your system as it is sometimes easy to forget to let of the button when you let off the gas, this too can cause things to go "kaboom? Yes, Jimbo kaboom!!!" Make sure to keep your bottle out of the car when it is hot outside and you are not in the car. Safety valves are on all bottles but here is a write up that you may want to read if you have not already. There are MANY other issues to address and just make sure that you read up on all the safety guide lines to have a fun, safe and worry free nitrous experience. Good luck to you and I hope all of this rambling helps you in some way.
Thanks million everyone.

PS- Don't take "Somebody09's" response too hard, it is just that there are allot of these types of questions posted every day and it sometimes gets frustrating.
Take care. Jim C.

what got me, is that snapping that pic, then editing it, and reposting it, may have taken more time than helping me with my questions. At anyrate, thanks a million for your response. I think i am going to go with it.

I've been doing web design since before high school... that was back in the day! LT1s were hot **** back then. I also started messing around with graphics when Crapintosh computers were king of the hill... I'm really heavy into graphics and editing **** all the time and it's what I do for a living now. SO, I promise you, it took me no more than 15 seconds to capture the screen, open up MSPaint, crop, the image, paint my circle, and save it as a JPG. Add another 30 seconds to upload it to ImageShack and reply to your message! Hell, it's taken me longer to type up this reply than my original
And yeah, what big geek said. It's good advice.

I am pretty big into web design as well, however, it may have taken me 12 seconds to type the length or your reply! LOL. Now that I know that your into webdesign, I am actually curious as to what some of your work looks like!
