About the nitrous--how do i get the nitrous kit to cut off when i hit boost. i.e.--what little device/part/doohicky do i have to buy to make that work?Is it a nitrous cutoff switch of some kind?
I've been using N2O or Methonal for the last 6 years. I'm pretty versed in what makes a good kit and how to tune with it. I fabbed up my first kit with a hobbs switch and a Skyline fuel pump using N2O jets for sizing. Then I added my own rheostat to raise and lower pump volume.
Now I use a fully adjustable progressive controller. By starting the Methonal at 8 psi and adding it in proportion to boost I won't need to retard my timing maps. The key to making a really high hp motor is to run as much boost and timing as possible. So on pump gas alone your simply unable to run lean enough or enough timing to create very good numbers
By doing it this way, I should be making 35-55ish more HP then most other motors on the same amount of boost. Since the advanced timing is creating very high cylinder pressures by itself. Which in turn allows me more room with the turbo since I don't need as much boost to reach said hp goal. Less boost equals a cooler more efficient charge. All though I'm not to worried with this particular turbo.
The N2O will be turned off via a hobbs pressure switch. Just about every N2O brand offers this option, just ask the question when ordering.
