80LS1T Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Tonight me and a buddy finally went and got my bottle filled! We drove about 10 miles out of town to a speed shop and then procceded back to work(I work at a dealership) where I installed the bottle. First I found out that I left a plug out of the nitrous line up in the engine bay so when I opened the bottle it started spraying out! So we went and got a plug from the local hardware store. Then I had to take off the purge solenoid because it was leaking(I actually had to do this 2 times because I didn't fix it the first time!). After that I we hopped in the car and waited for the bottle heater to get the pressure up but it only got to about 875-900psi. I figured that my automatic bottle heater pressure switch is set too low so thats as high as it would go. So after it got up to 900 psi I armed the system and had my buddy watch the A/F ratio with my LM1 wideband and I nailed the gas from second gear roll...........nothing....... LOL. So I messed with my window switch which turns out I didn't set up right. So I messed with the settings and took it down the road.....try #2......well it hit but didn't come on till 4500rpms(should have been 3000). I have my progressive controller set up for a 50HP shot so it wasn't huge but it works! I have some tweaking to do for the nitrous but atleast I know everything works now! I can't wait to get it all ironed out so I can put in the 150HP nozzles! Man I really need some new video! I'll try to get some ASAP!

rustorbust Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 What did the air fuel meter do when the nitrous was activated? James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Challenger Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Did everything blur outside the car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
80LS1T Posted May 16, 2008 Author Share Posted May 16, 2008 Did everything blur outside the car? No but I thought my passenger floor pan was going to come unrivited and fly off! LOL:mrgreen: The A/F with the nitrous on was about 12.4 so I need to richen it up some to get it down to 11.5-11.8. I have to switch out the fuel jet for a slightly larger one. On a side note...now my ECM took a crap today! Wouldn't start and threw codes 41,42, and 51. 51 is ECM failure and I did the diag for 41 and 42 which both lead to faulty ECM. Basically my car wont start sometimes and sometimes it will stall. It finally threw a code today(its been happening to me since I got it on the road this year and it's been getting worse.) It never ends! Hopefully I can get one from the local slavage yard and load up my tune and be on my way..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
