You mean besides the fact that you'd have to run hoodless?

You should join the NSX Club of America. The Sacramento Chapter, in particular, is very active. And you should come to NSXPO 2003 next month - it's not too late to sign up (only until the end of this week though)!hi5417 said:i had this car for a while.. but I am a new member of the NSX prime.

MAJOR STONER said:If a 10lb bottle with a blanket fits, does anyone know if a 12lb bottle will fit?
MAJOR STONER said:Thanks for the reply. I see bottles in sizesof 1 lb/1.4 lb/2.5 lb/5 lb/10 lb/12 lb/15 lb and was wondering if they are pretty much all the same standard sizes. A composite carbon-fiber bottle would be choice.
The more I learn, the more questions I have. Other questions that come to mind:
Major this is IMHO
1) For a poser's 50-70 shot, wet or dry?
Dry
2) Any performance benfits from mounting the bottle closer to the engine in the trunk?
yes, the shorter the feed line the better the 'hit' and less wasted juice when purging the system
3) Any additional length of lines or wire needed for a front installation or does enough come with a standard kit?
the feedline provided with most brand kits is long enough
4) What is the best way to route the lines back to the engine?
for a front mount under the car
5) Where does one locate the solenoids, in the front with the bottle or in the engine compartment?
engine compartment
6) Does anyone still push a horn button to release the nitrous, or is a throttle activated switch the way to go? Zex has an electronic progamable unit, Venom has some brain out too, PC progamable with all kinds of monitoring, or keep it simple stupid?
I have used them all but I like a setup that uses both a wot switch and the horn buttons. the car must be at wot and have the horn button depressed to fire the system
7) Where is the best place to install the nitrous injector? Can I just tap the airbox? How about on a supercharged setup? What is heck is direct port with fuel rail or shower head?
on a simple single fogger system the intake tube after the airbox or cone filter and before the throttle body ,for an S/C I like direct port.thats were you run a line to each port on the manifold that results in an even distrubution of the spray, NOS has a new setup that does not require drilling of the manifold.this setup is more advanced
8) What is a blowdown fitting/tube, and where to install it?
a blow down tube is mounted to the bottles safety valve,if the bottles valve releases from to high a bottle pressure it will vent the n2o outside the car
9) Where is the best place to mount the purge valve in this type of setup? Any trick ideas???
always mount the purge directly before your main selonoids,the purpose is to purge the system of gas state n2o and bring liquid n20 right to the main selonoid.this will help with lag time on the 'hit' and provide a harder hit.it is also good to purge the feedline with bottle closed and release pressure on the nos selonoid after use(turn off bottle heater before you close it).as far as routing the purged gas out of the system don't make the line to long and waste n20
10) Wire up everything to one activation switch, or use separate switches to remote open the bottle, turn on the heater, another to arm the system, etc.?
I use on most systems four control switches NOT to be confused with the safety switches like wot or fpss. one to purge the system before I spray,one to open/close the bottle and turn on/off heater(remote open and close and bottle heater on/off share the same switch),one to turn horn into nos button and one to master arm the system
11) What gauges would you install in the cockpit to monitor what? Install tips on what to buy?
its a personal choice but I like a fuel pressure guage and EGT. I like an electric full sweep fuel pressure qauge. what! no nos pressure gauge? I dont need one but you might want a nos pressure gauge in the cab.I use one at the bottle.because I keep my bottle heated I have a good idea where the psi is from knowing the temp and how many runs I have made
Thanks in advance for any answers!
your welcome
*I see that Zex recomends tapping into the intercooler on a WRX STi install, I wonder if there is any added benefit by the charge cooling down the condenser. I am seeing more and more CO2 installs, but haven't seen any numbers yet, anywhere. Aftercooler with CO2, NOS, and an electric fan in the lexan hatch duct, that's the ticket!
many guys do use a small shot of nos as an intercooler
BTW very good questions, remember that the answers are 'highly' opinionated and reflect my personal nitrous experience and theory. many others may do it differently.
