fuel pressure gauge, and WOT wire?
Wednesday, June 01, 2005 10:56 AM
2 questions, both of which pertain to adding nitrous.

Everyone is saying check your fuel pressure, so I figured I would put in a gauge.
Autometer gauges come with the sender, now just where to hook it up? I have an eco. Isnt there a fitting people use to tap the fuel line for nitrous and while hooking up the nitrous, also tap it for the gauge?

Second,
I have heard people tapping a wire for the WOT signal or Throttle possition. Is this possible on the eco and what wire do you need, or is the actual switch better?

okay, first off if your going to be running nitrous you can just add a fuel pressure gauge with a fuel pressure regulator (which is a must if you want to play it safe). This is only for a WET kit.. as far as the WOT switch no. the only wire you will tap into is the relay and a switch so there isn't anything to really tap into..

Here is a pic of where i put my fuel pressure gauge if your looking for a good location. (if you are running a WET kit yes you can tap into your schrader valve, but that would be for your fuel solenoid).

I was thinking of adding the gauge to my pods, would it still be possible to just tap it there? As far as the afpr... THis is the first I have heard of needing one, unless your fuel pressure is poor to begin with. Whats a good afpr run? one more cost to add in lol.

you don't need to have a Fuel Pressure Regulator but it's a good idea just incase your fuel pump goes bad or something that can creat low fuel pressure. this way it will kill your spray instead of killing your motor... as far as running your fuel pressure gauge into your pod. I wouldn't cause I'm not to crazy about having a fuel line running through my interior, unless they make an electronic one or something. and yea if you really wanted to run a braded line from you schrader valve to your gauge you can do that but I would only you wanting to do that if you are just checking fuel pressure.. cause if you got a wet kit you'll need that for your fuel solenoid, you do have a wet kit right?

Then yeah your good to go but like I said it would be the best and the easiest if you just run you fuel line from the schrader valve to the fuel gauge (and optional fuel pressure regulator) and then to your fuel solenoid if you need closer pics of my setup let me know...
