also, when installing the TPS/Window Switch from Dynotune, i got this picture from the instruction manual from their website
i was wondering what they mean by the NO2 and Fuel Solenoids? what do they mean from that and were can i hook that up from our Z. is that the wires from the Zex box?

basicaly what im asking for is the wires from the tps, where would i solder or crimp them for easiest install? i understand the rpm wire cuz i hooked up my lma-3 through that wire, so that wont be hard, and the tps wire im assuming get it from the ecu harness? i just dont understand the orange and yellow wire.

Damn i feel like such a NOOB , but when it comes to electricity, i hate it cuz i feel like im gona blow something up

Dynotune has a jet size calculator which you can use as a relative size to start off. However, each car responds differently and thus run differently to nitrous (or any FI or mods). Therefore, you should get a tune to maximize your setup.

Jet sizes, I don't think, have no direct relationship to your timing. However, the bigger jets you run, your timing should be retarded accordingly. Again, tuning will help you out greatly.

As far as jet sizes for specific shots go, they're just relative assumptions for our cars. They aren't exact and you will need to play around to find out exactly where the AFR is and what kind of a "shot" they are.

For AFR, I think it should be around 11 (iirc), but the last time I checked (back when I thought about getting a tune or a UTEC) was a long time ago. For FI, it's usually best to be around 11 and I think nitrous was the same. However, I'd try to run a tad bit rich more than run a bit lean. Your 12.6 means you're lean. I wouldn't run for long like that.

From what I was told, not all jet sizes will fit into the atomizer - meaning they're not all interchangeable. However, I do know that all jet sizes (so the holes which the jet size number indicates) should be the same, regardless of brand.

And by research, you mean ask me, right?

As far as the wiring goes, there are plenty of threads where I've responded (with my limited knowledge on wiring) and many more where other more knowledgeable members have responded. I'll save you the fun of doing the research and extracting the necessary information. Good luck with this.

haha first id like to say thanks for the help, im trying to find every detail i can...haha

Your 12.6 means you're lean.
i just looked at my log...its actually 12.2-12.3 the whole way...i didnt double check. another thing is that the wideband sensor is in my passenger side bank2, and i heard that the passanger side is leaner than the driver side so its gona be a lil lean.

im sure if do a base tune log again with my setup and send it to uprev, they can make me a map for me to tune with nitrous....so im believe im good with that.

i got a boost of confidence gettin all this feedback cuz i was this worried when i was gona wire my lc-1 and lma-3, but once i got it prepared the wiring, i finished everything within 3 hrs...was hard at all.

im just waiting for the kid to take it outa his car, get my parts, and hopefully no snow or bad weather anytime soon. i have nothing to do in the next 2 weeks since my license is suspended, so perfect time...haha

will keep ya guys informed with the install.

Thanks
Dan

damn, that nitrous is a bag is popular in the south, so redneck.

but is it bolted down to the chassis? Can you imagine the car get into an accident? that heavy bottle is going to be some deadly projectile inside of the cabin, hitting the eggshell head of the driver

hey 3hree5ive0ero, i got a question about your gauge install in the cubby. i took mine apart and i noticed that there isnt much clearance between the back of the cubby and this other piece after the cubby. also curious how you ran your wire and which way. all the other stuff is installed...now all i gota do is run the wires and solder them.

let me know dude
Thanks A Lot
Dan

I have spacers to push them out toward the passengers. The wires go in various ways depending on what they're for.

The gym bag is to hide the bottle from other people. If someone didn't bolt it down, that would be real stupid and it takes some common sense to install nitrous so I don't think that overlooking bolting the bottle down will be a problem.


Big, got any pics of your progress?
