Thanks . Infinity-10 for the auto trans ... not even a date on the roll out .

For its price and features , it seems to be nice. I am getting impatient honestly and tempted to get a Pro-EFI since that is what I have on my Supra and I love the pump E85 or 93 anytime , anywhere features and you don't have to worry about your tune.. But I don't want to regret so still waiting. Besides , my problem with Pro-EFI is no top notch tuner for it locally that I know of. I will have to travel at least 600 miles. AEM tuners are more common here in GA . Even if you have a very good EMS but a mediocre tuner , then it won't do any good. Your EMS is only as good as what your tuner can do.

Today I cleaned the extra runner I had where I will drill and tap the holes for my Nitrous Direct Port nozzles . Decided to paint it the color of my car since my fuel rail is red too ...








It will look just like the runner and fuel rail pictured below ... nitrous lines will be on top just like pictured but arranged somewhat differently .

After talking to technical support of NX Nitrous Express , I decided to separate my Intercooler spray system from my Direct Port System

Painted one of my 10lbs NX bottle body color so I can easilly differentiate which one goes to the solenoid for the intercooler spray bar and which one goes to the solenoid for my direct port nozzles. Though I also installed a pressure gauge for Direct Port System bottle.

Just installed the purge solenoid for my Direct Port System





I will direct that black hose coming out from the purge solenoid to the windshield nozzles on the hood ( I wonder if I can face them front and it will even be a good idea ??? ) .. so the icy smoke is directed front upwards ...

Took out the rubber hose from my nitrous purge solenoid output and installed a SS braided line that connects to the windshield wiper nozzles, so when I purge the nitrous line, that smoke comes out on top of the hood. Installed a nitrous pressure gauge in the engine bay and decided to tap my intercooler spray bar on the same input line from the trunk so I can save on another 22" nitrous line and nitrous filter. Now I just need to route the nitrous / fuel lines from the distribution boxes to the individual runners.

Zip tied the nitrous line to the fuel lines

After talking to a well known high hp supra builders , they adviced me to keep my Weldon 2345a instead of 3 Denso pumps since I have a controller. They said, more pumps .. more failure points. Well , we got to listen to the gurus I guess. I will keep one stock Denso pump though for failsafe. So I can turn the Denso pump on manually and limp home if ever the Weldon pump fails or if the race pump is really irritating which even with a controller at times is annoying for me, I can use the Denso pump for cruising and let the Weldon come to the rescue in high boosts.

The initial location where I wanted to bolt my Weldon 2345a pump which was above the left side of the fuel tank / below the speakers wasn't a good place. The vibration from the pump when it is on drives me crazy so I decided to mount it on the trunk floor so I can get it firmly bolted with rubber bushings to absorb the vibration / noise.

I probably have to fabricate a bracket to hold them down to the reserve wheel which is bolted down at the center.

Instead of Gates submersible hose which is almost $25 a foot , I used this E85 / alcohol / gas friendly hose which was less than $4 a foot. This hose is famous with Chevy / Corvette guys. Some of them experience their Gates Submersible hoses blowing out with E85. So this is now their alternative and based on reports it had been really good aside from the fact that it is a lot cheaper too. This will connect my stock denso pump to my -6an output that goes to the fuel log. Even with a 14000 controller , based on my experience with my Supra, the Weldon 2345a can still be very annoying at times when you are just cruising or on city driving with traffic to be honest. So with this SC , I want to have the option of cruising around with a stock pump and the Weldon comes to the rescue in higher boosts.
