After looking around the (excellent) forums, it seems to me so far that a 100 HP nitrous set up on a otherwise stock 94L, along with the set-up for retarding the timing and time delay, might be the most bang for the buck, and be reasonably safe as well for the motor and drive train.
What do you think about this approach for a D/D plus an occasional blast to kick some butt?
Would I need Rancho's too?

100 shot should be fine,just make sure you talk to sstock about a 2 pump trick.....you need ranchos regardless of nos or not.

Does this sound correct; Nitrous apparently has the "fuel" and enough extra oxygen to explode both the mixture it creates and the fuel from the gas tank mixture, where the timing needs retarding to protect the engine pistons.
So I'm wondering if a 2 pump set-up is necessary as I wonder if the motor needs more gas (than normal) when the NOX is blasting during WOT?

giddyup

yes you need more fuel,because you are adding more air,thus making more horsepower.more power creates a bigger demand on the fuel system.


btw i have anos 5115 kit i have been trying to sell. needs the throttle switch,and fuel pressure saftey switch.

here is the thread...
nos 5115 kit with extras

Which would work best on a near stock 94L?
1,More power, in a heartbeat.ZEX
ZEX wet nitrous systems rely on advanced fuel-shear technology that places the enrichment fuel inside the high-velocity nitrous spray cone via a special transfer tube. This ensures complete fuel atomization and maximum power. In addition, ZEX's exclusive throttle-position sensor switch "learns" the voltage curve of the engine's throttle-position sensor to activate the system consistently at full throttle. ZEX systems come pre-assembled and tested, for easy installation--there are no brackets to install or microswitches to adjust, and jet changes are easy, too. or

2, (A dry system) Increase horsepower the easy way.
If you're looking for the easiest way to get some serious performance for your electronically fuel-injected vehicle, look no further than these NOS EFI nitrous oxide systems. Each has been engineered for the exact application and is fully compatible with OEM equipment. These kits are available in either wet or dry configurations, and will not affect day-to-day driving, fuel economy, or reliability. Premium gasoline or unleaded racing fuel is required.

either one sounds fine... the dry system is easier to install,due to less things to hook up.

some on this board beleive dry is better for efi long runner intakes,due to the fact they where designed for air flow, not liquid,like a carb intake.
i have had both wet and dry kits...i couldn't really tell the differnce in the two.

Patrick

Thanks.
questions; (hope you don't mind me asking these)
I have been unsuccessful searching for the 2 pump trick (which I think is using both the front and rear tank pumps during WOT blasts), including reviewing sstock posts. Can you point me to the how it's done spot?
Why did you get off Nos? Reason I'm asking is to have a better feel for the decision to go Nos, or not. I don't plan much beyond Nos and Ranchos as it's pretty much a D/D (and man, I love this truck)

i have ran numerous 10lb bottles thru a mustang i use to have.i bought the kit i m trying to sell,but then bought a supercharger.so the nos is not needed.i ran a 100 shot thru that cars for years... filled the bottle every friday at work. never had a problem out of the car.the sold it to get my first lightning,a 94 black one.

steve doesn t disclose how to do the 2 pumptrick, he only sells the kit for it.
2 Pump Kits Are In Stock

and yes it should be fine for a d/d

Patrick

Thanks for your considerations Robert.
I have another question or two to ask your opinion about. Assume I have the 100 (or 75?) hp dry Nitrous installed with the 2 pump trick and timing retard and time delay. Do you think I would need a colder plug, and if so would it drive OK as my D/D?
Would I need to be on premium or reg Gas?
Lastly, think I should do it, or not? Perhaps a blower could be significantly easier to live with?

giddyup

i beleive the nos directions say one step colder,but don t quote me on it.
i ran stock plugs in my stang with no problems.
d/d no problem even on colder plugs.
if you use the nitrous, it must be with preimum fuel. other wise reg is fine.

yes a blower will be on all the time... just mash the go pedal.but you will have to run super unleaded all the time.
the cost is also higher... so it s up to you.
