Wanted to create a article related to running nitrous. Basically a place to collect info to help anyone thinking of running it...
I've been considering it more and more lately and am pretty convinced to spray the Dmax.
Anyone one run nitrous on a diesel?
What's your experience with it?
What are some do's and don'ts?
I'll post some articles I found that I think are great reads...

Mike, it's saying your link is invalid

Any one have any input in to switch set ups or should I say activation set ups?
I am still thinking through how I want to set it up on the Dmax, but I have a pretty good idea.
I'm thinking we're going to run 2 switches. 1 for the power to the whole system and for the first stage. The second will power the 2nd stage.
We'll then have 4 lights for indication. Red, yellow and 2 blue. Red for whole system power/stage 1, yellow for stage 2, and a blue for each stage activation.
As far as actual activation I think we're going to activate it off of boost. That way we can adjust them where we want them and bring them on progressively.

For what you are building, I think you should strongly consider using a progressive controller to activate and meter your nitrous. This way you can bring it on at any rate you want, whenever you want, and however you want. IE, start injecting only when TPS is at 95% of full voltage, boost is over 18 psi, and RPM is over 2200, then ramp from 0 to 100% volume over 1.2 seconds.
The other benefit is that you just run solenoids without jets and nozzles as the solenoids are controlled by pulse width.

So brook let's talk nitrous for a higher hp truck/race truck.... What are you running and what do you suggest for that type of application

Yeah I guess that's exactly what I would be looking for. I didn't really think about the fact of running a progressive controller in this case. But that would be perfect for what I'm trying to do. And would keep me from having to do it old school way of switches, lights, fuse panels, relays etc and would simplify the wiring

So brook let's talk nitrous for a higher hp truck/race truck.... What are you running and what do you suggest for that type of application I'm no expert, and I've never run it on the track, so I can not quantify anything or make suggestions based on any real experience. I have an NXD2000 installed in the intake horn, and a separate system triggered with a button that is installed pre-intercooler to soften the "hit". The button triggered system has a small jet in it so I can use it as an aid for spooling on the line and/or a little more air on the big end. When I hit it on the Dyno I had the wires crossed up so it never sprayed anything, hence the slight loss of power on that run. (thats what I get for being in a rush) Yeah I guess that's exactly what I would be looking for. I didn't really think about the fact of running a progressive controller in this case. But that would be perfect for what I'm trying to do. And would keep me from having to do it old school way of switches, lights, fuse panels, relays etc and would simplify the wiring. This is one kit I found that I like. Would probably work perfect! www.nitrousexpress.com/nxd4000-sx2d-dual-stage-diesel-system-with-mini-progressive-controller.htmlWhy a dual stage? |

I'm thinking dual stage so I can bring it on a little more progressively. Just a little to help with 60' time then hit hard on the big end to give it more speed where diesel typically starts slowing down...
I'm open to suggestions. I'm only about half way through my research before pulling the trigger on it

I certainly won't try to talk you out of a dual stage, there isn't any reason to avoid it other than the cost. The only reason I have the kit that I do is that for some reason Amazon dropped the price to 3-400 ish one day, and I just happened to have it sitting in my cart, and just happened to see that they dropped the price. The other kit I have I got on craigslist for a song.
That said... with a progressive controller, at the volumes we are likely to run, there is not much reason to run two kits because of the PWM. I suggest calling Nitrous Express and the other manufacturers to hear what they recommend.
Dont forget to get a bottle heater and a pressure gauge.

If I could find a deal like that I would go single stage for sure
