Doesn't the stock pump only go to 43PSI at WOT? Wouldn't the extra 7-10PSI cause you to run rich (not that its a real problem)?

Right, but in stock form, doesn't it only get to 43PSI at WOT?

43PSI

Anyways, either way the engine is getting more fuel then before. Any stumbling or anything when running NA?

Re: So I had a dream...(NOS questions)

I've had that dream..

Originally posted by ejj5875
Now, I never dream, or if I do, I don't remember them. But this weekend I dreamed that I had installed a NOS system in my car, and loved it!

So, most of the day yesterday I rescearched NOS (read almost every thread on here that I could find...and some of those where damn long!) and I have a few questions that I couldn't really find an answer to:

- Is a A/F guage needed? Everyone says yes, but then goes to say that it will not be that accurate.
- EGT guage. Where can I get an Apexi one? Is that the "best"?
- Guys with NOS installed, can you post some pics of your interior setups? I don't mind guages, but I don't want switches everywhere. I was thinking that I would make a custom panel to go inside of the armrest.
- Can you unhook the bottle and take it out, if you're going on a trip or something and need the trunk space.
- How is the bottle mounted? Is it on the wooden floor board in the trunk, or attached to the body (metal) of the car?
- Can you get a guage to indicate the amount of gas left in the tank? I haven't seen anything like this, so I'm assuming no.

That's it for now...I'm sure I'll have more questions in the upcoming months.

Like Sprint said, the stock FP can hold about 60-65psi.

N/A @ WOT i was around 43psi. I think that is what its suppose to be. Mine is like 48-50 WOT now when im NA b/c of the new fuel pump. My idle is now about 37-39psi. 42-43psi when the car first starts up and is running rich. At a 100 shot i am about 85psi @ WOT.

So I can assume that the extra Fuel Pressure while NA isn't a problem?

Hey Sprite... what's that picture for?

You would like me as the FI mod wouldn't you?

I'm learning a lot by reading everyone's nitrous questions/answers.

E.. the pump doesn't affect NA performance.. just the colder plugs you will be running

How much? Enough to use the stock plugs if you aren't going to be using the bottle (ie, not at the track)?

colder plugs slow me down big time.. well if you don't mind swapping plugs when you want to use your NOS you can have both.. i never know when i am going to run into some prudent ***** who thinks he is fast .. so i have by bottle on and ready at all times thats why i run colder plugs all the time

unless you are using Direct Port.. Dry is better than wet if you are only going up to a 100 shot.. Matt explained it before that if your engine backfires when using a Wet System.. bye bye engine

You will not need all these things ..

I'm using .055NOS , .043=Fuel maybe I'm running lean a littel but I'm using the NOS at the red line once I bent a vaulve because I missed the shifting I'm using NOS from the second till the 5 with no problem .


Guy I just wanna know something how can I run this jets with stock fuel pump ?

As you know that my engine is compresed so I shouldn't be able to use NOS as much you can ..


When I was using a 100 shot I wasn't having any problems .

I wanna know something I have a video of sx7r racing a 3000 GT did he use the NOS from the first ?

I can't touch the NOS botton at the first at all at all if I do that I will kill my engine I tried many times to do that but I wasn't able to it goed to red line so quick and losing a traction ..

I will show you everything one day but let me get a camera first and I should fill the bottel I will do that just for you guys to show you that everything that I said I was doing in my car ..

Thanks

Road Beast - Your still running with your stock fuel pump? I thought you were up to a 135 bottle or something nuts like that? How have you been running it stock with that? I know you engine is a bit different but I did not know it could take that much.

i think on the wet kit.. it takes fuel from another source or something.. so he is not putting that much load on the stock fuel pump.. so he doesn't have to upgrade his pump.. Matt can explain it better

OPh yeah that right. I forgot he was running a different kit then most. Any idea how much HP you can expect to put on the engine with his setup? Or road beast do you know?

well keep in mind .. Road Beast has a 4th gen that puts out 220 hp stock.. as oppose to 190 stock.. so he is already ahead of the game.. he has a JDM engine with stronger parts so he owns us right now..

Road Beast .. a pump is only $119.. should think about it anyway..

me personally, i wouldn't trust a dry kit above 80hp.
if you backfire on a wet kit you won't blow the motor.
i backfired when i had my max, only loosened the valve cover. no big deal

Does NOS increase the chance of backfires? Mine never has but I dont run NOS so curious why this would be a fear? Can we run a wet system on the US version of Maximas?
