Default DIY, if you dare, Nitrous Install

In prep for MIR on Oct 12th, I've decided to give the Crossfire a little juice.

Components:

Cold Fusion Nitrous 5 lbs Nitrous Bottle, $129.00, Q2
Nitrous Express Bottle Brackets, $51.66, Q2
Nitrous Express TPS WOT Switch, $103.33
MSD Digital Window Switch, $154.30
NOS 150 HP Nitrous Solenoid, $92.95
NOS 200 HP Fuel Solenoid, $122.39
NOS Nozzle, $33.95
NOS Jets, $8.95, Q4

Total so far: $904.04

Not including SS line and AN fittings.

This can be done cheaper, but the TPS and MSD unit are for added safety. And the 2 5lbs bottles are easier to hide then a 10 lbs bottle.

You will need larger injectors and tuning to run this properly.

We're aiming for 100-150 shot.

It depends on your tune and if you run wet or dry.

If you have larger injectors and a decent tune, nothing too drastic, then you should be fine with a 75 dry or wet shot.

With stock injectors you could get away with a 50 shot, but it needs to be wet to be on the safe side.

It really depends on what they did to the Fuel and Timing tables. Too little fuel and too much timing advance will not be a good mix for NOS, but great for N/A.

It'll take about 5 mins to unbutton the interior and pull the bottles. I don't expect it to be an everyday task.

The solenoids and nozzle are in. Just waiting on the lines and the electronics and this car should fly, or break.

Having run nitrous on previous project cars, I don't understand why you need larger injectors. You should be tuning AFRs with the nitrous/fuel jets, not with your fuel injectors. If you weren't running lean before the nitrous, a properly tuned system won't run lean with the same injectors installed. Now, for a 100+ shot, a new fuel pump I can understand Looks like a quality install, I'm impressed - Jay
