Ok, i have a nitrous Works kit and it came with 3 solinoids. 1 for fuel, 1 for nitrous, and 1 for a purge. I know how the nitrous and purge work but i don't know how the fuel is suppose to be hooked up. I am looking for some advice/ suggestions.. here..
Thanks mark..

When I had nitrous on my car, I tapped the fuel line on the fuel rail where my Schrader valve was. Just pull the valve out(careful for spraying fuel) and the steel braided line in the nitrous kit threaded right on. Not sure if your car has that valve on the fuel rail though cuz mine is a 420a.

If you are doing the AN-6 fuel line upgrade then put a AN-6 "T" and a couple fittings before the rail and tap it in.
If you have the stock line then upgrade.
Make sure you have a fuel pressure guage so you can make sure the supply doesn't drop when the nitrous kicks in.

What kind of fuel pressure gauges are good, can i just get an autometer? And how hard is it to put that gauge in, i thought that those gauges weren't allowed for Bandimere.

I dunno who told you that but AFAIK all types of guages are allowed at NHRA facilities. All the guages i use are from westach (www.westach.com). The prices are pretty good and the quality is awesome. Not only that but the install is much easier than the crummy autometer guages.

Ok let me put it this way. For a westach guage all you need is the sender and the guage. For an Autoschmeter you need the sender, control unit, and the guage. This is more of a hassle to troubleshoot.

this is true. but i don't have to tear my a-pillar apart then restuff everything back in when a sender goes out.
if you do decide to get an autometer make sure its a full sweep model. there is a recall on the half sweep model.
yes the westach is a good cheap guage. but it looks cheap too.:p
edit- they are allowed at bandi. and i think it took me about an hour to solder the wires and tap the probe for the guage. if you can install and EGT guage, the FP guage is the same.

Anyone know who supply westach? I could set up an account with them or somthing, maybe if i could find a distibuter.
i think i am going to do a triple vent gauge holster, then probably get nitrous press fuel press and EGT.
So does westach make an EGT and Nitrous pressure GAuge
