Nitrous install

[Anonymous]

Hi Jeff,
That all looks great I like the fuel filter that will be fine.
Have you got both solenoids?
You will also need a purge solenoid (smaller)and a NOS fliter (important) and Nos gauge at the solenoid
PS almost forgot make sure the pipe from the pressure gauge is at least 12" from the plate as when the fuel solenoid opens you get a pressure fluctuation and it can trip the pressure switch giving a faulse signal and switch of the NOS solenoid this gives you an on off on off cylcle

[Jeff]

Yes I have both solenoids Bob. I also have the smaller nitrous purge solenoid. I have not got the nitrous filter yet, that is on the list, and I do have a nitrous gauge as well.

Sounds like you got it nailed mate.
One last thing when you are testing you need to disconnect the Nos sol and run the system with the fuel feed to the plate in a bucket as the fuel guage will only read true when fuel is flowing.
Good luck.
If it all gets you down setting it up just take a snort outa the bottle.
It will cheer you up no end

Hmm... well I got the cell in, and the filter and pump.... Then had to go to the optician... See if I could have laser treatment on me mincers! Felt great when he said, I could not have it! And that he was referring me to the hospital, as I may have a complaint that causes blindness in one eye! So I went for a curry!

Better get a bit more done tomorrow, my plan of seeing it all in the bed changed, pump and filter under the truck, cell in the bed.

My Mum told me about that Jeff and I stopped doing it.
Whichever way you pipe it I am sure it will look great, how about some install pic's

[Jeff]

Well, here are some pics.... Not doing very well! Keep thinking me eye is gonna shrivel up!

Looking good Jeff don't forget to fit a breather tube to one of the top outlets or your tank will look like a walnut let alone your eye.?
I hope that all goes well BTW.

I managed to get the nitrous bottle bolted in this morning, well, it needs nipping up a bit, have to wait till I have a second pair of hands available for that. Slowly getting there, hope to have it all installed and ready for Gary's picnic.

Looking good Jeff.

Are you using the Nos set up (Holley) , if so don't use the recommended jet spread , this is all being revised @ the momment due to parts getting beaten up , just swap the jets over till you get a handle on it , FP around 5 psi & stick a new set of plugs in there , NGKs are the easiest to read , heat range will be dependant on how much you're gonna spray.

Pull around 4* for the 100 shot , play safe as you can always add timing if the plugs tell you so , the 2* per 50 shot don't always work.

Depending on plug heat range & spark lead you may not need to run higher octane with only a 100 shot , pull plugs to find out.

It is a cold fusion system Adam..... The 360 is nowt special, so just going to pep it up a little with around 80hp spray. Just so as it can run low 14's. High 13's would be a bonus, on a pretty stock 360ci truck. It has run a 14.9 in the past (no gas). Not looking at a screamer here. Perhaps in the future when I am settled.

Just a tidy little street truck, that can turn a decent speed at the track.

Should'nt need much if any tweeks with an 80 shot.

[Jeff]

There is more there if I want to risk it.. Will just take it easy Adam, and will seek advice at the track if that is OK!

[Anonymous]

Jeff how are you controlling your set up

[Jeff]

Hopefully get back on this over the weekend! No controller as such yet Bob... Just getting it in at the moment.

Jeff.
There are two main options here a switch at full open throttle a delay timer and a retard box probably the simplest and cheapest set up.
The idea of the delay is to give you a soft start.
Second a controller which gives you more adjustment but also more bits to go wrong I used a Jacobs controller which have been around for a few years
Adam had to replace one and big Al finished mine off so beware what kit you buy.
