I only have one thing to say: I think Kev is running out of things to put on his car. Where's that Evo VIII?...okay, so maybe two.

Should have got...

..the CF bottle.

Would have matched the rest of the CF parts

Also, why would you spend $500 on a NX kit plus $30+ to fill the bottle each time, when you could just *click*click*click* for free? Got lag?

EVO VIII has taken a back seat.

If you think it looks messy now... let's say it looks messier without all that stuff.

Can't use the bottle heater on CF bottles.

Not bothered with the lag at all. Why nitrous? Because the injectors max out after a while, so I need to think of other ways of getting more power. Wet kit is nice since it doesn't tax the injectors. Hehehe

'03 Cobra injectors (39#) almost fit. I think they just need different plugs. And I can get them new for $30 each.

Are our injectors different then 4th gens? If not, you could follow Mardigras and use 370cc injectors. However, the NX kit is cheaper than injectors, but you don't have to keep refilling.

WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO DYNO!?!?!?!?!?!

Like I just said in the Nitrous forum.. you're crazy man!

BEST of luck though. If you pass the 500fwhp mark I will personally come down to your home and take you out to dinner. (Please don't crank up the NX kit to do it just once because I really need the cash for my car).

VQ30DE-K and VQ35DE . The 95-99 motor uses the side feed injectors.

RC sent me some dummy injectors to test fit, but those suckers are 1/2" too long. I haven't taken off the manifold to test fit, but from eyeing the fittment... the fuel rail will hit the VIAS box.

How close are the Cobra injectors to fitting? Just the connectors? Is the impedence the same? If so, this would be cool.

SRiceJuice answered your question. I can always just use the fuel line from the kit as an additional injector.

Dyno? Hehehe... * patiently waiting for fartcan *

The only thing I can think off is too much Solo-1 racing.
I thought the VQ30 would be able to handle a season of road track racing...I guess not...

hehe no plans for now - maybe at the end of summer - I plan on road-tripping a bit

Of course, I will have to keep up to my promise if Kev's dyno numbers go high enough.... and they stay there

Well, I changed my mind. Boost can only go so far since it raises the fuel pressure everytime boost is increased. The NX kit doesn't increase FP at all so

I was thinking about adding that smilie to the forum.

Use the SC to feed the turbo.

let's just say one of the pistons no longer wanted to habitate the VQ block and decided to make an exit.

he knew something was wrong when i pulled on him and beat him in the 1/4 mile...he's manual and i'm autotragic then he dynoed almost 40hp lower than me, practically the same mods

Pretty much. I asked the service manager if they figured out what went wrong and he answered: "Nissan has approved the warranty work. Do you really want them to take a deeper look and risk the chance of them finding something that can void the warranty?" My answer: "Hmm..no, it's ok, I can live with not knowing the details "

$6,000 USD and two weeks later, new engine...
