Putting nitrous on the se-r. Starting with a 50 shot. just got my nitrous kit, picked up from a guy in Rochester, good deal. (pics soon). also came with a brand new dynotune purge kit. will be ordering a fuel pressure safety switch and nitrous gauge today (gauge recommendation?). still looking for a bottle heater, remote bottle opener, and a progressive controller. also, if anyone has a good place for parts/getting the bottle filed, let me know. (amherst/buffalo area). Ive read the name J&J thrown around but have no idea who/what/where it is. im likely gonna need some jets and other nic-nacs here and there. bottle came half-filled but thatll go quick. any tips, tricks, comments, or concerns will all be welcome. i might have some questions on wiring on some point. planning on a doing a slow/clean install. want it hidden but accessible. today, ill be throwin the bottle in place, drilling holes for the line and running it to the engine bay. more if i have time. pics soon. ---

my major questions from the op, any input would be great, i know theres some nitrous gurus around here: power for purge valve, should i run this off the relay or an already existing fuse? there is a fitting with a filter for the n2o line, is one needed for the fuel line as well? is the fitting/filter on the n2o IN line correct? ---

i found J & J, will be stopping by to get acquainted and ask some questions in the near future. but for now, i have an odd (maybe stupid) question for anyone to answer, im in need of a filter for my fuel feed, kit came with a nitrous one, but none for fuel. is there a difference between the integrity/design of a nitrous vs. fuel filter fitting? for instance: nitrous filter, $15.95: [http://www.summitracing.com/parts/NOS-15560NOS/](http://www.summitracing.com/parts/NOS-15560NOS/) fuel filter, $23.95: [http://www.summitracing.com/parts/NOS-15561NOS/](http://www.summitracing.com/parts/NOS-15561NOS/) wtf? besides one being red, and the other blue, they seem to be the exact same part, if anything, the nitrous filter should be more expensive since it undergoes a higher pressure. any input would be great. i know its a measly 8 bucks, i just cant figure out why lol ---

Ha. I got the relay, no worries. Just wasnt sure which line went to the solenoids and which one came from the wot switch. Never dealt with a wot switch before either, figured it would need a ground (as most switches do), as i said im new to nitrous.

its a simple switch… a switch that requires ground would light up. relays work the same for every application, nitrous or not. that has absolutely nothing to do with it. youve never used a relay in any of your audio installs? if most of the switches you’ve encounted have 3 wires, you might be ricer ;). you asked for help and a member referred you to a course at ECC and you got pissy about it. dont you want to learn how to do things on your own and not post on a forum everytime you have a question about basic 12v elec? ---

not pissy at all. mounted the bottle, ran the feed line and mounted the solenoids, started wiring for the relay. more this weekend. went to j&j for some help with my fuel feed. forgot who i met, but he was a good guy (maybe scott?). tapped my existing T for a fpss and threw me an adapter real cheap. hopefully throwing that on this weekend as well. said he fills bottles for 5/gallon. thats decent minus the fact its in elma. anyone know of a place around buffalo for a similar price? ---
