nitrous fogger ?

[dave baker]

hey everyone, i need some help bad. i bought a n.o.s. kit 60 shot fogger kit. i need to know if when drilling the holes in the intake manifold if it will be strong enough. i hear that the manifold is every thin walled and i need some ideas on what to do.

dave baker, I think that you heard some incorrect information. I currently have my manifold off my car because I am polishing the aluminum, and the walls of the manifold are not thin at all. It will be plenty strong enough for you to drill holes in.

I am a nitrous newbie, but I always thought that you mounted the nitrous jet in the intake pipe that the air filter is attached to, not the intake manifold.

you mount it on the intake tract if its a single nozzle kit, but on direct port nitrous there are 4 nozzles, one for each intake runner.. its a lot safer..

are direct port kits universal, your do you need to buy them specifically for your car?

[CelicaLicious]

universal for 4cyl. EFI cars... go check out thw nitrous express and NOS websites...

hey guys thanks for your help, but my real question now is that, the nozzles are in place but they seem a bit loose, what do you guys suggest i do? maybe weld them on?

[larryd]

nozzles?? as in plural?? you mean the 2 little mushroom looking tihngs? they just sit inside the fogger..

[CelicaLicious]

what kind of kit do you have?

if you just have a single nozzle, then it usually sits loose because the stock plastic intake, but if you have direct port JBweld works well..

[dave baker]

yea i have a direct port kit, i just went ahead and welded them on, it works great. i have ran 4 shots though it now, just got it all done. i just need to get those new iranium <---spelling? spark plugs and ill be done.

I think you mean Iridium.

If you have a GT then you want Denso Iridium Power IK20's (or IK18 if you can find them)

If you have a GT-S then you want Denso Iridium Power IK22's.

They aren't cheap - but they last, and they have a melting point SIGNIFICANTLY higher than the stock plugs (by about 1200&deg;f.)

[dave baker]

thanks alot man i was wondering what the part # was for those plugs, what do you think i should gap them at? i have a gt-s

[MaasNeotek]

Denso recommends:

IK20 (Stock replacement) - Gap 0.044
IK22 (Stock -2 colder) - Gap 0.032

These are "Denso" gaps - not car specific - but as I understand it - they should work. ( http://www.densoiridium.com/sparkplugspecs.asp )

Oddly - the same IK20 in a volvo should be gapped at 0.028...

Go figure...???

Any 'tech' savvy individual want to comment?

hey thanks for the info man!
