Default Questions for the nitrous Guru's....

I am almost ready to install my dry 30 shot kit and need some help on a couple of things.

this is what I have:

10lb bottle
bottle bracket
blowdown tube
purge kit
MSD digital rpm window switch
arming/purge switch
nitrous solenoid
wot micro switch
all the lines and fittings

I am using the MSD digital rpm window switch and need to know where I can tap for a tach signal.

I am planning on running colder plugs and would like some suggestions.

Any other tip would be helpful too.

Thanks in advance.

Doug

Doug you can find the tach wire at the OBD2 plug under the drivers dash, I beleive it is a black wire. As for plugs, I used tC plugs for my turbo setup.. but 6 months ago I started a thread about colder plugs for SC setups that might give you an idea on some colder plugs.

On your list you didn't mention a bottle warmer, bottle pressure guage, or what type of intake.

Go with copper plugs, get the nitrous pressure gauge and sensor to keep the juice from flowing if bottle pressure is low. Make sure to install the nozzle between 6" and 10" in front of the MAF sensor ( 6" is ideal).Make sure that the micro switch, since thats what your using, is adjusted to shut off the juice the micro second you let off the gas, you do not want to have it flowing during shifts, a build up of nitrous in the intake can cause disaster ( read BOOM, melt down of pistons, vaulves). Run at minimum 92 octane. With the knock sensor working as it does the slightest know retards the timing so as to negate the nitrous. If your running headers, be prepared to have them melt/burn through,make sure you have good exhaust gaskets, and prepare to change out the O2 sensors ( hehe :D they melt down if you shoot alot)

I have the bottle pressure gauge and an Injen CAI, the rpm window switch will keep from spraying when I don't want it to. With just a 30 shot I should not have a problem with the header.

Thanks for the tips!
