gauges and nitrous

[cody_davidson]

im putting a boondocker nitrous kit on my 05 summit, just wondering if it would be a good idea to run egt gauges.

not required....its more of a baseline for tuning your machine...which you dont have to do with a nitrous kit.

ok cool thanks. but do u think that i should run a pressure gauge in. and where abouts do u plumb one in

going to be doing a boondocker install on a rev probly next week ill post some photos of how we mount the guage on a rev. you want the guage before the solenoid that way you know how much pressure is in the bottle when its open. when the bottle is cold it will be around 600psi. when it is warm it will be 900+ psi. and you know the bottle is getting low when it starts to drop below 600psi.

right on thanks again. cant waith to see how u did it on the rev

technically the boss system cools the engine when you hit the nos button because of therace fuel it is injecting along with the nitrous (race fuel burns cooler), BUT i like to have pyrometer gauges, its just a safeguard. id rather overcompensate then undercompensate, + a pyro (EGT) will also tell you if your heating up for example on the trail, say in case your stock idiot light isnt working. just my 2 cents

crap, sorry ic you said booncocker, not boss....... i dunno if its a wet system or not, but id suggest a wet setup, boss's new system looks pretty wikid.

boondocker isnt a direct wet system. but it pressurizes the float bowls when on the botton to force extra fuel in. so yes it operates the same as a wet system with the same results
