I dont think my nitrous is working at all... - Honda Prelude Forum

Padge · 09-08-2003, 01:03 PM

I had to reinstall my kit on friday. Everything seems to be connected fine. Fuel Regulator line runs into the barney box, then a line runs out of the intake barb on the box and i connect it to the IM. I even upped my shot to a 65, I have run it twice and too be honest I dont think I feel a thing.

This is how I have my bottle mounted, is this right? I see no cloud what so ever when I purge, so that seems strange.

Also I checked my plugs for detonation and they look fine. I have no idea what could be wrong, I know the box is programmed fine.

Thanks

are you sure there is nitrous in the bottle? I've noticed that when there is less than 3 pounds or so left your shot isn't nearly as powerfull.

It's best if you have it mounted front to back, 45 deg counter clockwise rotation. Then when you accel all the nitrous is forced to the end of the tube inside the bottle. But as for not getting any pwr the bottle position should have nothing to do with it.

I know that, but you can set it up this way as well (and I do since I have subs in the trunk). Does anyone know if this is tilted correctly or incorrectly?

it should have the nozzle facing straight down, but with a full bottle, u shouldnt have any problems getting nitrous out.

Padge, have you checked the barney box light to make sure that when you flip the nitrous activation switch there is a green light? You may have to reprogram the nmu. As far as your bottle is concerned it is mounted fine. Right now I have a zex purge and I have never seen a big cloud of nitrous when I purge above 800psi. When my bottle pressure is lower then I see more visible nitrous clouds.

my nmu is programmed and i do hear the solenoid click when I am at WOT

When you have the bottle on are there any leaks at all? Maybe there might be a leak somewhere.

Is your nitrous filter clogged? Do you have all of the right jets in?

Your bottle is mounted properly. Angling it back helps pick up nitrous when you are under acceleration.

First, the bottle is mounted correctly. For those who don't know, the tube inside the bottle goes from the top/middle where the valve is to the bottom edge. The straw goes to the bottom edge in the same direction the valve on the top is pointed. Basically, the setup he has there will force anything in the bottle back to the straw. If you mount the bottle sideways, 45 degrees toward the rear is best. If you mount the bottle with the valve toward the front, straight down is best.

If I were you I'd take the nitrous nozzle out of your intake, start the car and go WOT in neutral and see if you vent n2o at all.

thats what i think i am going to do, seems like if would make the most sense to see if it works.
