I noticed a lot of threads w/ information on Turboing our cars, but I havent seem to run across a thread with a lot of nitrous information. I want to make sure I do things right the first time, so I don't damage my internals. Can we make a "What you need to know about Nitrous" thread, or am I just not seeing it? Thanks in advance
dsmtuners used to have these 3 stickies that were great for newbs, explained everything you needed to know. they revamped their site recently and i can't find them, but here's the link to their nitrous section.

runnin a 50 shot u should be ok just dont spray when u dont need to if ur going to race and shut it off dont go spray happy or it will kick ur ass..
most people recamend gagues when u do it u can if u want like a air fuel one to see if u lean out.. lot of popele say change ur injectors witch should be done if ur going ot stay with it but if u just want it to have it u will be ok...
that post on DSMTuners is nice, thanks
if it's a wet kit, no need to change the injectors. getting a narrowband a/f gauge won't do shit, and neither will a wideband. by the time you see something is wrong, you're dead anyways. an EGT gauge is perfect. it will tell you when shit is going to start going down when the temps get too hot.Originally Posted by Slow Poke
since you're doing all that exhaust work anyways with the duals, get the EGT probe welded into your exhaust, if you're going to get it. if you're not gonna get an EGT don't bother getting anything else.
all i gotta say is nitrous is like viagra...........i know i dont want/need it do u?
YES I STILL HAVE MY GALANT!!

this one of em?
or like this one: http://www.teamrip.com/accessories.html
yeah. well you'll need the probe and a gauge to read it (duh). i'm ordering the autometer EGT gauge in a couple days.
so if I get an EGT probe and gauge I might as well not get an A/F Gauge then... cuz I only want 2 gauges total and 1 of them is going to be a voltmeter
A/F gauge is pretty much worthless.
EGT gauge is essentially a must.
a/f is more useful than an egt gauge, but only if it's wideband. you should get the zeitronix zt-2 wideband kit. it will display wideband, and you can hook up and egt probe to it also. on top of that, it will datalog to a computer so you can actually tune your car. plus it looks nicehttp://www.zeitronix.com/
i still don't see the purpose of having a voltmeter permanently connected in the car? :?
im runnin the voltmeter to my ignition fuse so it only comes on when the car is turned on
yeah, but why do you want to know the voltagewhenever the car is on? i understand hooking up a voltmeter when you're having electrical problems, but why do you want one monitoring power whenever the car is on?
Sound system.
an ampmeter (ammeter or w/e) will be a lot more usefull for monitoring your sound system
I plan on getting a capacitor too... pretty much I already have this voltmeter and want to make use of it
Don't get a cap, it's a temporary solution to a permanent problem. Get a deep-cycle battery and do the Big Three. If you still dim after that, get another battery for the trunk and a performance alternator, but that shouldn't be necessary unless your amps are drawing some serious voltage.
I know this is kinda off subject but actually a capacitor is just like having a second battery, its has two terminals, once its charged has the same voltage as a battery, they both store energy, but a capacitor can dump its entire charge in a fraction of a second, so it would be a better for when your system needs the surges of power , so better choice than a performance alternator as far as the $$$ goes.
why did you make your font so damn big
