Hi gais
I am looking to add a little N2O on top of a Stillen S/C kit to my 350z.
With my recent purchase of a DD I will no longer drive my Z everyday therefor not putting so much stress on the engine. N20 would only be used on the strip or a local Dyno Day (maybe some ZDAYZ action).
I have done a lot of research in preparation for this but have some questions.
First let me tell you a little about the car and whats currently installed.
Year/Model:
03 Z 6MT (Stock Block)
Forced Induction:
Stillen Kit (Running 7lb. Pulley)
Piggyback:
Split Second Box (Controls Timing & Additional 7th Injector for S/C)
Additional/Supporting Mods:
Pop Charger
Fuji 3" Exhaust w/ Y-Pipe
Lightweight Pulleys
Walbro 255 Fuel Pump
JWT Clutch/Flywheel Combo
1 Step Colder Plugs
SUN Hyperforce Ignition
NISMO Thermostat
I am planning to run a Cold Fusion Wet Nitrous kit with the following:
10lb. Bottle
Warmer
Opener
Blow Down Tube
RPM/TPS Activation Switch
Fuel Pressure Cut Off Switch
Purge Kit
On to the questions:
What PSI should I set the warmer to and what are the ideal ranges for use? (950 ok?)
What PSI to set my fuel cut off and is the stock PSI (51 I think) changed with the addition of a Walbro Fuel Pump?
Recommended RPM/TPS range for on/off activation? (Is 3500 to 6000 rpm @ 90% throttle ok?)
Taking the fuel PSI into consideration what size fuel/nitrous jets to run w/ S/C? (looking for about 25 shot)
What gears would it be safe to run Nitrous in? (Is there a module to control which gears to activate, links?)
My A/F stays mostly in the nominal range running slightly rich under WOT, is it safe to run N2O like that or does A/F need adjustment?
I think that covers everything. I am open to opinions and suggestions. Any input would be greatly appreciated. If you think im missing something please let me know.
I know with every type of forced induction there are risks, with that in mind I would like to run this as safe as possible.
Thanks for reading my super long post

2- not sure, never used a fuel safety switch
3- 3500-6400rpms (mine has always been 6500rpms) and make sure only to spray at WOT not 90%
4- I would start with something around a 24 nitrous jet 10 fuel and mess with them till you get where you need/want to be
5- 1-5 gear is fine (alot of poeple on here say not to use it in 5th but I always have and will)
6- make sure you get a tune, F/I and N2O do not mix well without a good tune

Maybe he just doesn't like you.
He usually answered my questions within 2-3 days.
Maybe he just doesn't like you.

Nah he answered my PM and said he would get back to me soon, don't know how long that is but its been a couple of days
To be honest I know most of the answers to my own questions or at least have a good guess, just wanted to get some feedback from some other Nitrous users but I guess the section is dead, sux

JT is always busy. Maybe try giving him a call. As busy as he is, he is always willing to help someone out. Great customer service FTW!!
