Nitrous spark plugs

[jd4242]

Thanks for all your help. Got the nitrous kit set up this weekend. Did a few passes with a 35 shot. Spark plugs looked great. Gonna try a 50 shot this weekend.

No problem. .nice, you even feel the 35??

Yeah it's definatly noticable. Nothing that puts you in the seat but still a lot of fun. I did manage to race a 2001 Dodge 1500 V8 and beat him pretty badly

50 shot feels great. Definatly more noticeable than the 35. The only thing i've done to my Explorer is a KKM intake and a higher flowing muffler. I got a 10lbs bottle with the Lightning 500 valve. No purge kit, i didn't think it was needed.

I attached some photos of my setup. My engage button will be moved under my wiper button. The wires to the button switch will run through the shifter when i get some free time. The last part i need to install is a pressure release valve in order to pass tech inspection at the drag strip.

Nice. Yea i need one of those pressure valves too.you dont really need a purge,just lets the nitrous come in or on much faster..

You running a push button activation and not a wot switch??

People certainly dont expect a stockish looking explorer to have nitrous. Its funny how fast you can make something on Nitrous for so cheap..haha

I run a push button in shifter for now but think with new motor ill run it off a boost activation switch..

Yeah i thought it would be better to have more control over the nitrous for bracket racing in case im running faster than my dial in and need to slow down. Also its fun to be at WOT then fire the nitrous.

Considering switching over to the WOT switch. How did you mount yours?

Ah ok. Are there any larger throttle bodies that will direct fit onto an explorer that I coud find at the junkyard? I know of the BBK throttle body but if i'm gonna drop $200 on a part its gonna be the underdrive pulley

No direct fits

Thanks. I ran a 16.9 the other night at the track but i never got a clean run because the fire button broke and didn't have nitrous spraying for the whole run. I decided to do the WOT switch to be more consistent and possibly lower my ET. i'll definatly update on the WOT switch once i get it installed.

Also the electric fan is doing great. I drove up Vail Pass 2 weeks ago and it kept the engine cool all the way up the pass.

Awesome

Keep in mind without a purge it takes up to 3 seconds to get liquid nitrous to the injector..
