Where did you put the actual trigger? Purge switch/outlet? How hard was it to tap the wet nozzle into our fuel rail? |
Its not a direct port set up.
The trigger is his little switch he showed a picture of. You flip that on and it arms the system. Then when he goes wide open throttle it trips a switch on the throttle body which completes the circuit and hits the fuel and juice. The fuel and gasoline both come out of his "fogger" which you see going into the blue silicone line there. It's a Y type fitting with two nozzles. Red lines are fuel, blue lines are nitrous. You choose what size nozzle for fuel, and what size nozzle for nitrous. When he goes WOT the juices flow and atomize somewhat...this mixture sucks into the intake.
Without a purge what happens is this. He flips the switch, see's a Porsche Carrera GT (
) so he floors it and goes WOT. There is a little air in the line so the first thing to come out of the fitting is fuel. The extra fuel BOGS the car down pretty bad, then POW the nitrous finally fills the line and starts entering the intake too...then DOUBLE POW, he goes from BOG to FOG and takes off.
The crappy part about nitrous in my opinion is that unless you pay the scrilla for a remote bottle opener you sometimes find yourself without the juice. Also you'll need a bottle warmer for the cooler months.
I had nitrous on my 5.0 miata. I sitting at a light to get on the interstate one day when a mustang SVT pulled in behind me and revved on me. I guess he saw the rollcage and also heard my car loping. His car sounded MEAN too, and he had a giant tach, and a large VORTECH sticker across the windshield. So I though, oh **** he's gonna try and jump on me when we get on the interstate.
Pathetic me, pops the trunk, gets out of the car at the light, turns my bottle on, then run back into the car. I gave the guy a wink and a smile. The guy in the stang behind knew EXACTLY what I was doing and was laughing his ass off and gave me thumbs up.
I vowed to get a remote bottle opener after that, but some arsehole decided he wanted my nitrous system more than I did, it got stolen about a month later.
