traded a mexican dinner for a nitrous kit last night. came off my friends camaro after he fragged the motor with it. plans to go on my 360 mopar. (forged pistons, i beam rods, cast crank, all ARP bolts, aluminum heads, victor jr single plane, 750 edelbrock, solid roller, 9.4:1 compression, MSD ignition with mopar distributor)



first up, id like to identify just what kit is sitting on my workbench. the plate has no markings other than NOS, Fuel, and N20. its 1/2 inch aluminum, dual brass tubes running down the center.

solenoids:

Fuel: Fuel Cheater no 16050

N20: N2O pro-shot no 16040



10 lb bottle



thats about all i got with the kit, not including some braded line between the solenoids and plate, and various brackets.



i know ill need a WOT switch, plumbing, and wiring to make it work. anything else?



now, on to the major questions.

1. i only want to run a 75-100 shot. really dont want to hit the car that hard. can i tune this system for that small of a shot?

2. how can i verify the components are working and working properly before i break something?

3. the braided lines between the solenoids and the plate are exactly the same length. how important is that? id like to mount both the solenoids behind the carb under my air cleaner for cleaner looks

4. my holley blue pump and regulator combo has another outletport that is currently not being used. can i use that to feed the fuel solenoid?

5. any good articles and websites that would help me get up to speed on this before i start to install, other than mounting the plate when i get done putting the choke back in my carb?



thanks for any help you can throw my way.

Congrats on your score..
#1 important with NOS is fuel.. lack of or improper mix will melt parts FAST !

1. i only want to run a 75-100 shot. really dont want to hit the car that hard. can i tune this system for that small of a shot?
Yes, there should be replaceable orfice jets where the line goes into the plate, check the NOS website for proper jet sizes.

2. how can i verify the components are working and working properly before i break something?
cycle the solenoids without being hooked up to the plate.. NEVER shoot nitrous in a motor that is not running..or BOOM when you start it..

3. the braided lines between the solenoids and the plate are exactly the same length. how important is that? id like to mount both the solenoids behind the carb under my air cleaner for cleaner looks
Should be no problem.

4. my holley blue pump and regulator combo has another outletport that is currently not being used. can i use that to feed the fuel solenoid?
yes, be sure to have a gauge to determine proper fuel pressure while spraying the motor..

5. any good articles and websites that would help me get up to speed on this before i start to install, other than mounting the plate when i get done putting the choke back in my carb?
Check the NOS website..
Have fun..
