I think you can run a 70 shot reliably. Now we're talking 1 step colder, if not 2 step colder spark plugs that'll probably be gapped just a little less. How much fuel does the stock fuel pump support too?

Also, in my opinion nitrous IS safe. I ran tons of nitrous for years without any problems. My Mustang ran a 175 shot for 4 years without a problem and then I started using a 225 shot. Had a few issues with that, but still as long as everything is kept an eye on, you'll be fine.

If you want to be safe, in addition to the nitrous, get the gauges. Since it's a wet kit, at a minimum I would have a bottle warmer and a bottle pressure gauge. In my car, we T'd off the nitrous line in the center of the car and ran the gauge inside so that we can mount it to the center console or pillar. Since this is a wet system, you're going to get a 70 shot worth of fuel regardless how much nitrous you get, so you want to keep that bottle pressure exact (1,000 psi).

OF COURSE, we all know that this information is going to waste. We know that you don't even want to squeeze the on the car. It's all about the PURGE, BABY!!!

I know 50 is the absolute "Safe" way to go. But I am willing to blow a motor for the sake of science and for all you guys looking to install nitrous. This isnt about speed anymore, now it's more about R&D.
now that's dedication!

It's questionable right now. Depends on what octane fuel I can get today.
Fill, I know of a couple places in the East County that carry a variety of Racing Fuel. One place in particular has 100 & 105 octane, which is on there pumps too!! That makes it very connivent to add any time...I always stop there on my way out to the River and fill one of my Jet Boat with 105 octane....that makes my Jet Boat HAPPY !! But do not use that 105 in the S because it is LEADED FUEL and will burn up your Cat and O2 sensor's. The 100 would probably work very well with your Nitrous setup.

The other place I know has an octane just lower than the 100 and has a couple of other ones like a 102 and 110 (sold in the can)!! They also have the GOOD Octane Booster by Trick which the sell in a 1gal can.

By the way are you going to cruz up to the Races tonight at the Q. I am planning on going my self since it sounds like a bunch people from the site are going to be there. Should be fun as well as I can finally get a chance to meet and hang out with fellow S2K'ers from the site. This is like the first time in a while that I do not have anything at all with work or family going on during the weekend!!

Just in case Fill does not get back to you in time on the boards, I know for a fact that he will be joining us tonight at the Q. Do you know exactly where those gas stations are?! What exit off the 8? For the 100 octane, is it for every gallon of regular fuel I have I match it with high octane?! I would really like to know where that gas station is at, I went there a while back with a friend but forgot where it was I know its off the 8 right?! Thanks and hope ot see you at the Q, look for all the S2000's.


Kind regards,
Joe

Damn the purge. Do you know how much Nitrous costs in addition to current gas prices. Good lord.

Anyway, I've decided to make a switch panel for the car, couldnt decide where to put it. Where should I put it?

run the wires to the shifter and put a safety switch on the shifter... like tape it or spot tie it...

or velcrow (?)... or a happy button, a push/release type of switch/button...

Cut a hole in the middle of the dash and put that thing there, along with a 50" TV and speakers JK I think a ideal spot would be under your right side knee on the side of the panel under the center consoul area. But in a place where you wont accidently kick it but is easy to reach and flip the switches. Or even under the dash, like the underside below the engine start button not enough danged room!


Kind regards,
Joe
