Gonna go nitrous

[StangSmoker]

James, you got any pictures of the gauge under the dash? i was thinkin bout that.

or maybe any pictures of Bill Spanos set up?

Sorry, no pic's of both of those set up's

[StangSmoker]

damn, aight thanks anyway


with the help of slacker last night i figured out what im gonna have done by the end of the summer, ready?


finish my exhaust, some sort of intake, headers, 3200 stall converter, then comes the NX 85 wet shot. Oh and of course the plugs and wires first.

This way if i decide to go with a 100 shot, which i probly will, ill be set up for a wet shot already, if i do this then ill end up gettin a new fuel pump mo den likely....

sound good? am i missin something? any other questions or comments?


any info is appreciated

I guy in town here wanted a hidden system too. He found a place for all the gauges he needed, mounted them in an easily accessable area, then fabbed up a quick connect/disconnect or them, as well as quick connect/disconnect for the wires. He plug the wires in and snap the gauge case in, all in 20 secs or so. It was really a neat setup. I'm not entirely sure how he did it exactly, it was a few years ago.

that would be pretty cool too....hmmmm, things to think about

[12secondv6]

Just maximize the intake.
As for size of exhaust... i dunno yet.
All my nitroused times are on a 2.5 exhaust.
I have no 3 inch nitroused times

my catback is 2.5 inch, excpet theres no muffler on it, basically straight pipes, is that good or should i put a muffler on it for the backpressure?

Do you have power windows.. I have my switches and stuff were the power windows switch would have been if I had power windows.. You could also have the gage under the seat Untill you turn the system on then just leave a little slack in the line to the gage so you can bring it up to the cupholder or something.. And for under the hood If you have a dry shot they are very easy to hide so that the only way you can see the jet is if you take the intake hose off and look into the TB..If its a wet kit like mine you can do what James said by wrapping everything so that at a glance it looks N/A.. most mustang guys cant tell the difference between the LS1 And 3.4-3.8.. I stomped all over this 1986 5.0 and when we got back to the parking lot we both had our hoods open and he says to me : wow.. I cant believe you only put 5 cars on me because most of these LS1's put like 30 cars.. He was looking at my motor when he said this and I had to break it to him that its a V6..

i do have power windows but do u have any pictures of your setup? It just sounds really cool.

As for the gauges i wanna rig something up so they are on the lid of the center console on the inside, so when i flip up the console i can see them all right there, otherwise i might just screw it and get the pillar gauges, ill just tell people its for looks :D

thanks for all the help guys, keep it comin if anyone else has some suggestions, but ill definately keep you guys posted

I dont have a digital camera I would if I could.. How about a digital nitrous gage.. I see them on ebay all the time...

here's an idea, act like a ricer for a few weeks. As in, get an A-pillar guage setup w/ Air/Fuel, Fuel Press, and maybe boost or nitrous press. let all ur buddies know that u just did the guages 2 look cool, maybe run a few of them. then, after a few weeks, add the nitrous system w/ the buttons somewhere in the shifter area in the ashtray or lil storage thingy. then, run ur buds and beat em down.

My buddy has one installed but he hasn't started spraying.
I like it but I gotta wait for evidence first to say it is a good thing

I know a guy with a LS1 here that has the gauge.. he says he loves and it is very hidden.. I want to get the Fuel pressure one though because I already have my nitrous gauge..

[StangSmoker]

Arctic Wolf - haha, good idea, i can pull off a ricer, i got a brother who is one ;)


and the digital gauge doesnt sound like a bad idea...ill have to look into it more

[Red96CamaroRS]

heres what im doing- im fabricating a switch pannel which will hold my n2o gauge that will be in the cubby below my head unit. it will be out of direct vision, and the switches wont be too noticeable. you can still throw a A/F and Fuel pressure gauge on the a pillar
