You need to drop the gap to around 35 or so on those plugs. As for the gauge, the bottle doesn't really matter. Don't get on of the little gauges that mount on the bottle, get one that you can have in view of the drivers seat. It's best to know where it is at all times without having to go back to look at the bottle.

Get a bottle heater. With fall coming you really need to keep them warm to keep the pressure up.

I will lol. Right now it was just to make a quick little budget daily driver. I'm tearing the motor down in the winter to get her some new pistons and I think some valvetrain upgrades will be in order as well. I left the boost side but **** NA is fukin fun.

Thanks for the advice. I'm going to drop the gap tomorrow. A bottle heater is on deck as well. I touched it today and it was freezing (40* temps all day). My friend has a nitrous gauge and hes doing an all motor K20/K24 build so I think I should be able to get that tonight!

On a good note, I figured it out! The car hauls some serious ****in ass. Just off the 50 shot car is ripping the tires to hell and I just put brand new tires on it. Turns out when I mounted the WOT switch, it was too far. I though the arm off the TB came closer to the end but it didn't. With a custom little bracket, she is spraying and moving out now. Once it going into VVL, wow its insane. Feels like my big turbo car.

I usually try to shift right before 9K. It drops the car in such a sweet spot and keeps it moving hard. My boy has a custom freak header and intake manifold to help his motor breath so it screams up there without asking. Lol.

I mounted my switch under the gas pedal instead of in the bay. It's perfect.

I may do that just to clean up the engine bay a bit. Seeing all the solenoids and crap kinda gives me an eyesore. It makes up for itself when I flick the switch. I never thought nitrous could be this fun. Rockin out with an all motor sticker and guys wont know what hit them.

Haha. You are going to love a 75 shot. Its a world of a difference. Oh and a 100 shot is mmmmm so good.

You should have seen the face of a B13 VE driver when he asked me if I had a VE with N1 cams after i pulled about 2 bus lengths on him and I said "Nah just a DE with a 50 shot"



I cant wait to swap in my VE and spray it.

Lol I can't imagine. I wanna do it already but I will go easy since I am a newb haha. All I know is I feel like the car is learning to handle it or something. All I see now is two black ass strips of rubber behind me from the fresh tires from first, second, and half of third! If I can locate some BKR7E's I think I will try a 75 shot, weather permitting. Damn rain ruined my fun. I was hoping to head out and have some fun!
