Finally got to test out my nitrous system from nitrous express. The kit itself was not too hard to install. I think the worst part was mounting the selenoids. The directions you get with the kit are good, self-explanatory and straight forward.
Also, for the installation, make sure that you tap the throttle body elbow carefully. Don't want to position the nozzle and not be able to close the hood. Another tip for the installation is when tapping in for the fuel. Myself, I tapped the fuel rail itself. They said in the instructions to either cut the line or tap the rail. Well, the hose clamps they give you are for silicone and vacuum hoses, and I just didn't trust the two clamps to hold my fuel hose together running about 40psi. So, i tapped the rail, which was easy by the way. Just make sure that you clean it up good before you reinstall. With tapping, make sure to use the "lock-tite" you get with the kit. It is some good stuff.
Now to give out things when I experienced it. By the way, it is a 35 shot I had in. For fuel, all I have is a Walbro 255 with stock injectors. I turned the AFC back to a little more rich than what I usually run at, and turned the boost down to 15psi. For the run, which was just on the highway so I have no times, I slowly increased my speed till the WOT switch kicked in. Boost went up to about 17-18psi. There was a little punch when it finally kicked in. Not tire-squealing punch, but a nice jolt. From 100 to 120mph, that was the fastest increase speed wise.
Then made a second pass, but this time held a good top speed. RPM's were at 5000, then punched it down to WOT. The nitrous punched the car forward, with the RPM's staying between 5000-6000.
All in all, I think the kit is worth it. Personally, I expected a bigger punch, but I only had a 35 shot in. I have to play with the fuel a bit with my pocketlogger (just got it today
). Probably once I get it tuned nicely, it will feel like a big increase. Nitrous Express is the way to go for a wet kit. There was no problems after I ran the car as well.
Also, thanks goes out to DSMtalk for all the guys on here who helped me out deciding on a kit, installing it, and reading about your own personal experiences with nitrous. DSM's rule
