I've decided to get into Nitrous, just a 50-75 shot at most, at least for now. I've read the basics and I've decided to go with this particular Wet Kit. So here's what I've bought for the upgrade so far.

New Walbro fuel pump
NGK TR6's--- plugs
Fuel pressure gauge
Boost Gauge

Here's where I'm lost
I need guidance on how to setup a boost and fuel gauge. Is there a book I can buy? Or somewhere I can go to learn this?

Someone in my club was explaining about a "Window swtich" from around 3-5800 rpms that will need to done. I understand the purpose for it, installing this is another story.

Could anyone help me out here?

Thanks,
Dave

 

You won't need a boost gauge for nitrous. Turbo/Blower applications increase manifold pressure and cylinder pressure. Nitrous only increases cylinder pressure so a boost gauges would only read vacuum. A fuel gauge, depending on if you go mechanical or electrical will go on the fuel rail. You'll have to run a line for the fuel solenoid since it's a wet kit. You'll probably have to get a tee fitting to install the line for the noid and the fuel pressure gauge. An electrical gauge will just be a sending unit, a mechanical one (for an interior installation) usually has a line that runs from the fuel rail to an isolator. There's a second line that runs from the isolator to the fuel gauge. If I remember correctly, the line from the isolator is filled with anti-freeze. Hey who wants a line to fail and get sprayed with high pressure fuel while driving... I believe I read the instructions on Auto-Meter's website. I know they've changed their format, but they might still have instructions on there.

The window switch will basically hook into a PCM wire for a tach signal, and into the nitrous wiring. I can't remember if it ties into the wiring for the noids or to the power for the system itself. I'm sure someone can shed more light on the window switch for you.
