any advantages or disadvantages to running bigger nitrous soleniods ? is there less of a pressure drop with the bigger orifice ? Only going to be using a 75-125hp shot thru a plate. I picked up a set of new Edelbrook Performer RPM soleniods that are rated for something like 400hp w/.25" orifice .
 
The electrical draw may be more. Other than that, no disadvantage.
The advantage is, when you decide to go for the 300+ shot, you're all set up for it. :biggrin:

lol...:) thanks Don . First time with nitrous on anything let alone with a turbo . figured what the heck might as well give it a try .from what I gather they complement each other VERY well . I think I'm going to like it . :D :) .
 
Small, careful steps with a well thought out system, and believe me, you will love it. :biggrin::cool:

will do . see any problem feeding the nitrous fuel solenoid as shown ? should I be concerned of pressure drops in the fuel system when nitrous is activated ? .800" is the ID of fuel rails , I don't think volume will be a concern .

I don't see any problem with your schematic. I personally would feed the nitrous solenoid off the Y split before the fuel rails. That's how I'm doing it now, but that's just me being overly cautious.

edit: Keep all feed lines associated with the nitrous fuel solenoid as short as possible after the solenoid so that you don't build in any delay from the time the solenoid is activated to the time that fuel actually begins to spray from your nozzle or spray bar.

I thought of that , but figured in my case it would be a longer run with more potential of "stagnant" fuel sitting in the line before the nitrous fuel solenoid being activated . maybe I'm over thinking it . lol :)
