michael5556 247 Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 So you want to decrease the power of the nitrous? If so you will need different solenoids and jets. Try won. Wizards of nos. they are uk based and very helpfull. Link to post Share on other sites
ssaunders 199 Posted June 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Apologies, i have jets from 30-150 HP, my solenoids are rated 200hp so i am going to try some different settings, i have a progressive controller so i dont drop it all in at once. i am after any members who have used nitrous and have any tips/tricks or general advice.cheerssteve Link to post Share on other sites
michael5556 247 Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Well basically you want to start off small and work you way up. Make sure your You should start with a flick switch, also have a wide open throttle switch. You can mount it under the throttle pedal. You also want to have a non latching switch that you hold on when you want nitrous. Do not use it in first gear ever, try not to use it in second. third is fine etc.dont have your bottle open on the road as if you get pulled over its illegal and you will get in a lot of trouble. remote bottle openers are good if you need any more info just ask.

ssaunders 199 Posted June 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Cheers, i have a NOS 15974 which is a 2 stage controller with integrated TPS and window switch.i was thinking on about 3k rpm, 20% ramp over 5 seconds and off at about 6k, the % ramp and time i will need to fiddle with. i have read that 1st gear is a no-no but with a window switch 2nd should be do-able?I thought the Wizards have sorted the road legal aspect?thanks again.steve Link to post Share on other sites
michael5556 247 Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 I would probably go for 4s and 3 k sounds good but extend it a bit more too like 6250 or 6300rpm.2nd gear is a debatable one to be honest. In some cars it's fine but with the vr6 gearbox second isn't as amazing strong. Especially when your smashing 150 extra through it. Third is the best gear to start nitrous with.As for the road legal aspect, I'm 80% sure that it's fine to have it in your car all the time, fine to have it all set up etc as long as it safe, but the bottle must not be opened when on the road. As it means you have been using it and they know if you've been using it then you have been giving it some. Link to post Share on other sites
ssaunders 199 Posted June 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Cool, thanks for your time and knowledge.steve Link to post Share on other sites
michael5556 247 Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Cool' date=' thanks for your time and knowledge.steve[/quote']It's cool. Let me know if you need anymore advice etc. you should look into cooler plugs etc too. Extra things that are good and help out the nitrous are extra headwork, colder plugs, cams, a good clutch and fresh oil. If you wanted to take it further you should look at pistons and arp hardware etc.Thanks Link to post Share on other sites

GordonC 20 Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Have you got a fuel pressure switch mate as I would never run another nos setup without one. I blew an engine in 3 seconds because the fuel pressure dipped causing it to run far to lean then bang it wentVR6 Loonibuggy Santa Pod 2014 ! Link to post Share on other sites

michael5556 247 Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 A wideband gauge is a very useful tool for knowing your fuel ratio. Knowledge is power etc... Did you find out which plugs you want? Link to post Share on other sites
FRANK VR6 2 Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 I had a wet kit on my vr and just plummed it into the fuel line with a t-piece and ran it like that for a year never had a problem.I was running a 80hp direct shot from 2nd gear on R888 tyres at pod.was fun but then came the family and it had to go.Sent from my GT-I8160 using Tapatalk michael5556 1 Link to post Share on other sites
