I have a NX wet kit, bought used from a guy on a local forum. I get everything hooked up, and the nitrous solenoid starts leaking a little bit from where the wires go into the coil. I try to spray anyways, and I get a tire chirp for about half a second (I think it was working then), then the car started a hesitation like feeling; the RPMs climbed slow as hell and I was going slower.
Felt like I had soo much fuel that it was running crazy rich and the nitrous couldn't compensate.
That was with a 75pill in the fuel and a 60 in the nitrous line.

So I bumped up to a full 75shot, and the same thing happens, only this time, no "half second of power" at first, just straight bogging.

So I figure that my nitrous solenoid keeps pressure for a second, then the solenoid cant keep enough pressure to compete with the fuel, since its leaking.

So I do what some domestic guys do, and use the purge solenoid as my nitrous solenoid. Nitrous sprays, fuel sprays, (out of the shark nozzle), everything works right. So I go to spray, and the exact same thing happens.

WWWTTTFFFF?


I am beginning to think it is the bottle pressure, so I put on a friend's bottle (75%full) and of course, the same thing.



Anyone have any ideas? I was thinking maybe a bottle heater, but I should still get a few good runs out of a bottle before it looses pressure. Its 77 degrees outside. Maybe its my FPR turned up too much...46psi w/ hose on

Thanks for the help,

Hmmmm.......Ive never heard of nitrous leaking out of the solenoid where the wires attach. As a matter of fact, Ive never even heard of an NX solenoid going bad. You may try pulling the solenoid apart and check out the innards. As for trhe bogging Im not too sure....If you run a nitous filter then remove it, there is a chance you or he got a dirty fill and plugged up your solenoid. Id run the right solenoid in their place though. How bad is it leaking? Try calling NX about their solenoid problem, because it sounds kinda strange.

Also, a good test would be to remove the nitrous line from the fogger and open you bottle momentarily to check for good flow. If you didnt cover the ends of your line during installation then you might have plugged something up.

I did this test:

Pulled out the fogger, unplugged the Fuel soenoid wires so its just nitrous. Turned the bottle on, pushed the button. It sprayed.

Did the same for just the fuel, unplugged the nitrous solenoid wires, Sprayed fuel only. (With out the fuel pump on) and some drops came out. (no fuel pressure)

so both seem to be working right.

I think ill clean up the NX solenoid and send it back to NX. They have a lifetime warranty if I understand correctly.

Update:

I think the shop told me wrong on where the pills go. They said .41 in the fuel, and .24 in nitrous.

Which is backwards I think. I'll do some more research and try it out tomorrow.

damn. so simple.
