Im wondering how much boost i can run on my stock internals with a 35shot of nitrous. I was thinking like 8 or 9 psi on race gas. My car is an ls with an automatic, what should i run in the 1/4 mile with that combination?

 

what kind of fuel setup are you gonna be using and what kind of tuning are you doing?

 

I just have a inline fuel pump and a vortech fmu.

 

Whoa man...With stock injectors you will not be able to push the amount of fuel need to supply 9lbs of boost and a 35 shot. Please do some homework about this. Im not trying to dog you but from the post it seems like you are jumping ahead of yourslef a bit. Turbo and N/X combos are very hard to do. They are a very good way of making good power, but for someone new to the whole forced induction thing. I would say that its a bad idea. You are running an auto trans, before anything I would do a tranny swap. Just my 2 cents

I completely agree. before you start saying you guys don't know what your talking about. Rt. 301 is a graveyard for my auto tranny and i was only running 8psi off the greddy 15g. Becareful with doing alot on the auto. It can be a good idea to run the auto if you have it built, but i have yet to see a streetable drag automatic for a honda. I'd say for fuel though since you already have and fmu. FMU 12:1 disk, paxton fuel pump, bigger lines, missing link, 550cc injectors at least.

Edit: I'd say you'd beable to run around 8psi and nitrous. Around 1bar without nitrous.

12:1 mu and 550cc injectors??? I don't think that is a good route.

 

why do you say that. I'm gonna run somewhere around 720cc's or bigger on my 12:1 FMU. I run 440's and have ran 550's, both run fine.

 

I can't remember where I saw it, but there's a beefed up torque converter available. I don't know if that's what likes to blow up or not, but I've seen it.

 

autoex how are you gonna get your car to idle?

 

Good question, I'll have to figure something out. Maybe i'll only do the 720's if i go hondata. To many decisions, to little money not to get it right the first time.

 

Yah idling would be the only problem. I have 440s and my low throttle is at -50 so I cant go any lower so If I did bigger injectors I wouldnt be able to idle

 

ZEX........they just made one the bigging of this year http://www.zex.com 1-888-817-1008. I would advise the tranny swap as well. I had a civic that was automatic and i used nitrous. after 1 month my tranny continued to tear up. When normal driving it would shift really hard in first gear and somtimes in second. So if i were you to safe your tranny do the tranny swap. I know!

 

Yea, i have so many different idea floating thru my head. I think i was considering the 720's if i went with hondata or something like that. Wow, i'm at -25 with my 440's and idle perfect.
