I dont know myself, but fromthe way it sounds you dont know what you need, so your hopefully not going to try installing it yourself. Your tuner shop will tell you what other parts you "need" to make it work, and reccoment other parts that would be useful. They would know best what you need to get.

I agree. Unless you don't know what you're doing, don't try to DIY nitrous.

You need the switch that turns it on at full throttel, What steel lines do you have? the one for the bottle to the solinoid? or one from the solinoid to the intake? you also need a "plug" to hold the jets and the jets. you will need a "T" spliter for your gas line. and a wire harness to make everything work together.

Here is what you will need.

Bottle
1 steel line that is as long as your car
2 smaller lines that go from you solinoid to the "plug"
1 other steel line that goes from your gas to you solinoid
a throttel switch
a turn on switch
a wire harness
a gas solinoid and a nitrous solinoid
a Nitrous filter
a Nitrous pressure gauge
your smaller lines are going to use a 4an style tip
your bottle to nitous sol. will use a 6an-8an style tip
so you will need tips(fittings) that screw into your sol. that fit those hoses.
a plug that goes into your intake
jets 35,50,75


that is really about it. Its not hard to install, I say do it your self. save money. its easy.

Just because on FNF they hit a switch dosent mean that it is safe to do. you WILL lean out and blow your engine up if you do i that way. your car doesnt have a SAFMS and with out that you will never have enough gas to put in your engine to be able to shoot with out full throttle. all you need is an arming switch and a full throttel switch. You will be good to go.

As for getting the jets that you need call Summit Racing and they will get you what you need, along with all the other parts that you need. to save you some money, get a spool of steel line and make you own lines and what not. its cheaper and you can get it to the exact lenght that you want. just make sure you use 4an on the parts i said to and 6an-8an on the others.

anything else you need help with PM me and i will help you out.

well first things first...id that dry kit you got there or wet? since you don't have a return line fuel system a dry kit will cost more to operate.

Here's the run down...sell those things you got, and purchase a kit. NX is great choice since they make an awesome kit and even have a how-to on their website.

You need a wet kit since you do not have a return line system. If your intent with using a dry system you will need to modify your fuel system to have an adjustable rising rate regulator, and return line.

With the NX kit you can use a momentray switch that you can push on you own. As long as you use it only at WOT you WIll not lean out, unless other factors come into play IE bad fuel pump/filter.

The nozzle jets/ etc etc will be supplied in the NX kit. Only other upgrades I recommend are gauge, bottle heater and purge, all that can be had in their GEN-X upgrade.

Oh and if you can follow directions you can install a nitrous kit. No needing to be a professional for it [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

i talked to a guy in JD's imports about that. he says they are fine with stock plugs, (only 15k miles so far). just when i replace them he said go colder.
