Need some help with my N20 - 3000GT/Stealth International Message Center

aapstealth · 03-21-2008, 08:14 PM

Well after some thought and Research Ive decided to put the NX 50 DRY shot I have on my car with the GIANT 2.5lb Bottle LOL

Anyway I wanna moniter this thing even being so small, So what gauges should I look into too?? I heard wideband or EGT and too be honest IM not fimilar with ethier. Also should I change out my plugs for colder ones and upgrade the fuel pump. From the research I found I dont think I need a fuel pump upgrade and might be able to get away with standard copper plugs, BUT want some advise so chime in and let me know.

My advice is to trade your "Dry Shot" for a "Wet Shot"! IMO the risk of leaning your motor out with a Dry Shot is not worth the risk.

^^^ Listen to the man. Go wet.

Bump Anyone else got any ideas?? I already have the dry shot but dont think a 50 shot is that bad in dry N20. I will use it carefully and moniter it. Also is it worth it for me to invest in a wideband? Anyone?

Wideband Might be helpful, Terry at Maximal Recommends an EGT for Nitrous.

Just be careful with that Nitrous, Only use it at WOT and a Dryshot should be ok.

I would go with the EGT if possiible, but a minimum of the wideband. im thinking of putting a 50shot on my stealth. let me know what way you go, and how it works for you

A EGT measures the temperature in the exhaust. A high EGT ~900C+ can indicate a lean cylinder condition and the possible danger of melting components. However, with a N2O "Dry Shot" you can easily lean out a cylinder faster than the EGT gauge can indicate the temperature increase and you will be SOL!

Terry recommends it because you can get too hot with nitrous without getting out of what we would consider safe on a wideband. I only run a wideband on my nitrous, but I run a wet kit tuned WAY safe (Like Sub 11.0 AFR)

EGT should be all you really need. If you want to be really safe look into a wideband too.

A dry system will be fine, especially just with a 50 shot. I was running a 100 dry shot without any issues for a while.

I would suggest getting a bigger bottle though. With a 2.5lb one you're only going to get a 1 full 1/4 mile out of it.
