Default Looking for Nitrous Pics/Input

My main power adder I want is nitrous. Im looking into a NX wet kit shooting for about a 100shot. Have a few questions...

1) Gauges? I have an AEM wideband from my last car. I want to match gauges as best as I can. I will be mounting it undermy single din radio. What else should I get? AEM Fuel Pressure (matches), I know I need a nitrous gauge, AEM does not make one, who makes a nice around $100 or less nitrous gauge that matches the AEM ones? Any other gauges I should have?


2) Supporting mods? Besides the kit, i will have intake/exhaust. I will be buying an SAFC but can this be tuned with and without nitrous or I dont need to worry about that? Also I will be getting an Aeromotive Adjustable FPR and a walbro fuel pump. For the nitrous, bottle warmer/cooler, purge and TPS switch. For cooling I will be adding my old Hayden tranny cooler along with a Supra Koyo Aluminum one too.

3) Pics? Anyone have installed pics of their set up and any input about it too?


Thanks a lot

with a wet kit you will not need to tune for it, simply size the jets correctly. However you should retard the timing 4 degrees for a 100 shot and run 1 step colder plugs. i would recommend some type of timing retard for nitrous so your not running around on 6 degrees over tdc all the time only when on the spray. the crane trc-1 box is cheap and will work well for this. thats should just about do it for you now go spray happy

I don't have many pics, but I just removed my NX wet kit from my SC400 and it is for sale. It would bolt on for you. I also ran a Walbro pump which I just sold. I did not need to touch the timing with 150 shot and I dynoed with wideband to make sure A/F was safe. My tuner would not tune with my SAFCII because of varying bottle pressure/temperature etc. I put down 297whp with K&N filter and the nitrous kit.

If you have open diff and street tires, prepare for one tire fire.

My kit is for sale PM me if interested:

NX wet kit, many jets to run up to 150hp.
NX tps switch
NX down tube
NX liquid filled pressure gauge
ZEX bottle warmer
