I like the integration with the headunit. However, I'd do something about the gauges and the window switch/tps. I think that looks way out of place, the black plastic piece isn't cut straight, made of different material, and kind of tacky. No offense in any way, though. It's just my personal view. Maybe I'm just used to seeing mine, where it's tucked in all the way.

 

Yeah, I know what you mean. Its a crawford Z gauge cubby holder, but it wasn't made for the 06. It's not as bad in person and it does the job. I wish to have thought of doing it the way you did it, then I would still be able to use my cubby, lol. I wanted to get the cincitydesigns one, maybe in flat black, but they stopped making it. This is my only option to keep it discreet. Right now, I have my audio and everything electronic the way I want it, everything is tidy and neat and working properly, I don't want to mess it up just for the gauges, they are doing their job. It's not so bad in person, but it would be nice to have it as flush as yours.

 

Oh, please don't take it offensively. I was just giving my opinion. It's definitely not bad, though. I thought about getting that as well, but I wanted to use my cubby and make the gauges not as visible. People stare at it and don't think much of it when they see the interior of my car. Sleeper FTW!

 

No offense taken at all! I welcome your critique and opinion. I just never thought of doing it your way, i don't have the tools to make the hole that big, lol. I got the crawford cubby for free anyways, so I am happy, lol. BTW, you see how my nozzel is in my intake, do you think it would present any sort of problem with fuel or nitrous hitting the sides of the intake tubing, or is it fine and will spray directly into the tb? I haven't had a chance to spray yet, I haven't tested my fuel or nitrous solenoids and see if they fire the way they should with my window switch, they fire individual, but i want to make sure my system works the way its suppose to.

 

The nozzle should be fine there, so don't worry about it. If they work individually, then wire them up together so they active together. I'm sure you know a whole lot more than I do about wiring so I have no doubt you're fine there.

 

They are wired together, i used a push button to test them. I want to test the window switch to make sure they fire at the proper rpms and all that good stuff, just don't have another set of hands. My plan was to take ss fuel and nitrous lines off, activate the nitrous, have my friend floor it while i hold the lines and he tells me when my activation point hits and I make sure it actually fires. I am really tempted to just put some jets in and spray, but I want to be safe than sorry, i don't want my Z to end up like my 3000gt that I tried to turbo, lol.

 

I wouldn't hold the nitrous line, if I were you. The window switch won't malfunction. Just finish the wiring and go out to spray, but do a very low shot. You'll feel it if it's only spraying just the fuel or just the nitrous or if nothing at all. And of course, if it's spraying both, you'll know as well. You worry too much.

 

Lol, yeah, thats the problem. So I would feel a 28N/16F Dynotune Jet so I would know they are both working. And if for some odd reason my fuel solenoid does not fire, I wouldn't run into a lean condtion where it would be trouble for me will i? Thanks

 

If it's fully operational, then you'll feel even the smaller shots. Plus, if the fuel doesn't work, at least it was only a small dry shot.

Also, to test your window switch with more caution, make your window frame smaller. Just make sure it turns on and off approximately where you set it. I say approximately as your tach gauge could be off from the voltage read on the module.

You'll also know if you're car's only dumping fuel. And if nothing happens, well that's a given.


That's how I tested mine anyway.

 

sick

 

I just tested it this past weekend. I know you said not to do the whole, hold and test thing, but I am paranoid. The good thing is, it actually didn't fire, lol. One of the wires from the window switch was tapped to the relay, i had it soldered instead and I was good to go with my window switch, everything fired properly in my controlled test. Then i went out, i am friends with the owner of a factory that has a pretty good sized lot in the back, so i tested there, didn't need to test for the whole rpm range, just ensure it was working properly. I warmed it up to 930 psi just to be on the safe side, didn't want to be at 1050 just in case something happened. I was running a dynotune 42N 24F. It definately was something else. Really good. Nothing to crazy, but definately worth the price, especially since i can double my horsepower with $20 just by buying new jets and increasing my psi. I haven't been able to get over 800 psi lately though with my warmer. Could it be because my bottle is almost empty? I have been doing a lot of testing with my solenoids and purging, but not sure if that would be enough to empty a bottle to where i couldn't heat it enough high.

Thanks for the comp Laino. It looks better in person because you can't see it, lol. I just painted my ebay catch can flat black, so my engine bay looks even more stock.

 

Purging drains your bottle real fast. Think about the little tiny hole the nitrous has to go through when juicing and compare that hole to the plumbing of the nitrous line being filled entirely with nitrous - huge difference. If you can't get it over 800, it means you're pretty low. You can still use it at 800, though, and the kick will still be there. However, you should really try to warm it up as much as you can first for proper fuel and nitrous mixture.

Any other noob questions?

 

Lol, my bad. Thats true though, I actually looked at the jets and the holes are real small. I'll try to keep the noob questions to the minimum, lol.

 

Any updates? Did you ever get it up and running?

 

Its working well. I only sprayed once, but it was one hell of a spray. No problems so far. I actually have the dynotune a/f lean shutdown switch on the way. Not sure how well it will work, but we'll see. If anyone has any questions, i'll try my best to answer what I can. I just have to remount the bottle opener, nothing wrong, just annoying me with it over closing. If there is anything else I can think of about my install, i'll post up.

 

how did u get the nitrous line from the solenoid to the bottle? did you make a hole in the firewall?

 

did you do this yourself?

 

I did everything myself. I ran the lines underneath the car to keep nhra legal just in case i run at the track. There is a rubber gormet in the trunk that you can run it through, i will try to take a picture, weather is really bad right now.

 

how did u get it throught the firewall ?

 

pop the hood look underneath the passenger side windshield wiper blade you will have to take off the plastic panel and the battery cover , this is where all of the ecu wires are run just run it along with them plus it hides them really well
