gotten a response that one step colder plugs are not needed, check.......
mount bottle in trunk and top facing engine slightly titlted up, check....
now, where to mount that microswitch, on the stick? steering wheel?
lastly, ideal location to mount nozzle/jet onto the Z-tube......looking from front of car, 3 o'clock? and between maf and throttle boddy?
sorry for all the questions, i'm just going on about this totally as a newbie and search didn't draw much answers.....
Need f/i folks to step in........tia......
hey, i want to feel the force too you know

 

I'm sorry, but this is funny! Nothing personal but, if you have all these questions and concearns, DO NOT attempt to install a nitrous setup on your G!!!! I can't stress that enough!

Colder plugs are usually used in FI application, and although yes can be used with positive results in a nitrous setup, you basicaly shouldn't with such a low shot and on a stock setup. Not needed. The way the bottle faces and its angle are essential for proper delivery of the nitrous, and ALL nitrous systems will come with a special elivated front / rear bracket setup. The "micro switch" is the actual trigger switch (as refered in most every system) and that is mounted on to the thottle body itself. It works by installing it such a position as to when the throttle body is at WOT (pedal all the way down) the throttle linkage / cable makes contact with the micro switch and the nitrous is now activated (spraying on). An arming switch just powers the system and is what you would install inside the car and that be custom made to fit just about anywhere, steering wheel, shifter and so on. Now another thing to note, the G's throttle body is "drive by wire" which means there is NO throttle linkage between the pedal and the throttle body. Its electronically controlled, so fitting a micro-switch is not exactly easy, in fact down right impossible with some sort of aftermarket kit or electronic WOT sensor / bypass. Last but not least, where you place the nozzle will depend on how much room you have and where it best will suit the application. In your case, the Z-tube area is just fine. You do want to make sure however, once you thread the nozzle in that its "spray" is facing twd the throttlle body for optimum results.

All in all, and once again please do not think I'm being rude, DO NOT install the kit yourself. With the questions you've asked, and even though you've states you're new, you have a LOT to risk and loose if you don't do it right! And yes even with only a 50 shot of juice....

 

read your reply with great interest, didn't take it as rude at all, just what needs to be addressed...........i kinda knew it would be a difficult install at best knowing that the G is a drive by wire and this freebie system i got is NOT.......was hoping someone out there in G land have done this "conversion" with good results.........more inputs please!

 

Got a question regarding NOS...

I understand this isnt something I can do myself...not my thing. Are there any members that can suggest a good speed shop or place in the S. NH or Eastern Massachusetts area? It seems like there are a ton out west in CA and stuff, but I have a hard time trying to find a decent performance shop.

TIA...

 

KLG, I'm sure you've gotten this installed by now, but the simple answer is do NOT mount the microswitch.

As Ducati mentioned our cars are drive by wire, meaning the accelerator pedel is actually electronic. The pedal has to signals coming off of it, both roughly 0-5vdc. One of the switches will go almost all the way to 5vdc when you push it down. You can use this electronic signal to perfectly detecy WOT every time, without worrying about a microswitch.

 

yes, had system installed at a shop with the micro-switch beneath gas pedal.........ok, basically,....once above 3.5k rpm, i go wot, pedal all the way down to carpet, and can hear the spray...i let up around 5krpm.......been through one bottle like that w/no problems...that's two months time for me....i dont's spray often as you can tell......

i forgot where i read this, but your reference of 0-5volts had me remembering that once you go wot, 5volts is the new signal and a different fuel map comes into play?..ie more fuel to compensate?

 

There is really nothing difficult about installing a universal "wet" nitrous kit.

If you have the guts to change a radio in a car, you have enough talent to install a nitrous kit.

It is really BASIC! Keep it basic. The more electronic crap you add, the hmore dificult you make it for yourself.

Give it some thought before you attack the car, and all will go well.
Take your time!!! Test things as you complete each step!

And most of all, don't be paranoid about Nitrous. Be sensible.

Essential extras: Bottle heater, pressure gauge, low fuel pressure cut-off

Maybe Buy: TPS activation switch

Fun Toys: Purge kit, Remote bottle opener, remote gauge

Don't waste the time or money: RPM window switch, progressive controller

yeah, i knew i could install the nitrous setup myself, but remember, i got this setup from my brother with no instructions.....basically all hardware.....

i took apart my radio dash, tapped the back of the oem radio to install an eq, then a power amp to drive two 12" subs........yes, lots of time and patience is required......with nitrous however, didn't want to chance anything, especially the engine.....
