haven’t been on here in a long time, but i figured i’d throw this up here. this is my first power-adder build, and my first experience with nitrous, so be patient with me :grouphug: so, the time has come for me to prepare my car and nitrous use for the spring. the plan is to use this thread as a place for me to update the progress of what i’m doing, and mostly to ask questions as i go along. as of now, i’m as much of a novice as they come when it comes to nitrous. i plan on installing it all myself. i bought SUN\_SPEC-04’s ([myspecv.com](http://myspecv.com) member, to all you NYSPEED nazis) NX kit, it came with: Nitrous and Fuel solenoids (these are used) 10lb bottle (will be painting it, has some pretty chipped paint. i’m thinking flat black) bottle brackets all lines, fittings, wiring etc (wiring will be VERY confusing for me. there’s a clusterfuck of wires that came in the box and i need to sort them all out. I have the jets for a 75 shot. (i think i may have lost one of them taking it all out of the box) purge kit fuel pressure safety switch NX nitrous pressure gauge on bottle Extras that have been added: Electronic WOT switch RPM window switch with selectable pills electronic bottle opener (valve type) 3 switches (arming, bottle heater, bottle opener) purge button 1 DIN switch panel like i said, all the wiring will be challenging for me. i’ll most likely be installing it all bit by bit, so that i don’t get ahead of myself and get confused to shit. i want this to be a nice, slow, fun install, something to help this damn winter pass by a little quicker and help me look forward to spring/summer. first off, sorting through the kit, i have a bunch of questions about things i’m looking at. please feel free to jump in if you can help me out. uploading some pics now! ---

1st If you paint the bottle you cant run it at the track… they are afraid of people sanding them to paint them and taking away the structure/strength of the bottle 2nd Save yourself the time and have J&J do a nice sneeky install, he did mine pm me if you need anymore help… i had it on my last 3 cars!!! ---

you may want to save up for a clutch also, and a BOTTLE HEATER IS A MUST the differnece of 900psi (full cold bottle) to 1100-1200psi (full hot bottle) is night and day!!! Some bolt ons and 75 shot you should see low 13’s! ---

Okay first pictures is a Hobbs (fuel pressure safety switch) it is wired inline with the main nitrous relay to shut off the nitrous if the fuel pressure drops below and predetermined pressure to protect the engine. The MSD window switch is to allow the nitrous to not spray to early (under 2500 rpm) and to not allow over revving on the bottle when you clutch to shift on a manual trans car Then little black box is an electronic WOT switch so you don’t need a mechanical microswitch. Used so nitrous is only injected at WOT (open loop) Techincally you need the nitrous sticker on the cylinder. However there are some places that will fill a bottle without a label Any other questions hit up J & J ---

Some bolt ons and 75 shot you should see low 13’s! most spec guys do pretty well with stock clutches, though i’ve been looking at JWT and fidanza. the kid i bought this kit from had everything but a bottle heater, that’s really all i need to get. as far as bolt ons, i have I/H/E/BSR/MMI/SS and a few other Spec5-specific things…thinking about some drag radials too… > [@Firehawk853](#): > > Okay first pictures is a Hobbs (fuel pressure safety switch) it is wired inline with the main nitrous relay to shut off the nitrous if the fuel pressure drops below and predetermined pressure to protect the engine. > > The MSD window switch is to allow the nitrous to not spray to early (under 2500 rpm) and to not allow over revving on the bottle when you clutch to shift on a manual trans car > > Then little black box is an electronic WOT switch so you don’t need a mechanical microswitch.

Nitrous on Spec V’s are fun. Make sure to use teflon paste NOT teflon tape on the fittings. Get a wideband. It is a must have for any FI. When I first installed my kit i was going crazy lean. I took out the fuel jet to find that debris in the line had clogged it. If I didn’t have my wideband i wouldn’t have known then boom… Also our fuel line is a bitch to T off so have fun with that. ---
