To quote the NX nitrous installation manual, for Nissans '92-2003 , based on a FFP of 43 psi, 35HP needs 31N/18F jets, a 50HP needs 35N/20F and a 75-shot uses 41N/24F jets. Jimes' old web site stated a 100-shot NX used a 52N/31F jet combination. Is this correct? I don't know. The 150-shot combination needed a 62N/33F set of jets... I never tried this combo.

I do know that my last chassis dyno in KC, where I used the 50-shot and 75-shot jets (using the listed jets) in one and both stages, the WHP matched the shot-level almost exactly, up to a 50-shot plus 75-shot combination which added 132 WHP to the ground. NX specs seems to be accurate.

Dynotune's jet calculator says a 100-shot requires a 47N/27F combination, a 125-shot is 53N/31F, and a 150-shot needs 58N/33F jets. I don't know if this is crank HP or WHP, but it's different. Their 75-shot jets say 41N/24F is needed, which matches NX jet sizes. Their 50-shot specs are 33N/19F - not NX's 35N/20F 50-shot jets.

So you pays your money and takes your chances - or get a bucket-o-jets, warm up your A/F meter and a bottle of nitrous and get on your favorite dyno.
yeah if memory serves me nx rates at the wheels and zex is at the crank but that's neither here nor there

I say if your goal is 100whp than whatever size jets you need to make it happen is a 100shot

one fast max .. your too close not to give it another try at 12's

I would just tie it open so you can sell the 00vi later on when you do the 3.5swap

I'm definitely going to show up on Sunday. A sunny day at the dragstrip is a terrible thing to waste.

Dave, want me to bring those BFG DRs with me? I can think of a $hundred reasons to do that, if you want them.

I was out late last night, doing some road tests of the idea, and reminded myself why I hate to spray on the highways, even with DRs. Ain't no traction out there for a 75-shot, let alone twice that or more.

Imagine an automatic transmission shifting just like your 5-spd, only quicker and more consistently. It's alive!

Who knows? but at least I'll have one more chance to try this tweak before the season is over. I just stocked up on more 109, and have 4 loaded 15lb bottles, so Sunday will at least be "interesting".....

You look right at home at KCIR - maybe we can figure out a re-match sometime this season, just for the heck of it.

Spray your 3.5.

There's always Tulsa in OK or Mo-Kan in Missouri, for something closer to you....


But KCIR in the summertime is major excitement -

Oh yeah, I forgot about sparks buying your stuff... he's fast... I might have all my fuel problems cleared up this week, then I can campaign with the "stock" engine until the new one is finished. The machine shop is balancing it this week, then it should be ready for pickup.. then it's Cosworth heads and cams.

I've still got tons of nitrous to blow through the old motor with three nitrous stages, just for practice. 200-shot, here I come..

Anyways nice times, although your ET's seem kinda low. Ill post a video that shows how to properly hold a shifter. I Cant find it, but i think you figured it out anyways. You pull the shifter back, but instead of your hand wrapping around so your fingers would point to the drivers side, you want to do it where you fingers point to the passenger side. Its kinda uncomfortable, but it pretty much eliminates the chance of the 3-2 shift lol.
I was going to say this....
