Title: Haulin' Ass on Laughin' Gas !
Post by: Recklessrob on May 31 2005, 01:34:38 AM
:evil; I started installing the nitrous kit in the Mazda
P/U Saturday afternoon. I still have to figure out where to
put the activating switch and run the N2O feed line. I
also got some bottle issues to take care of. I'll try to get some pics
up later in the week. :supz:

Oh Jesus, they did make those damn 2300's with the 4 cylinders with 8 plugs though! Ever take the back 4 plugs out? I get the shakes thinking about it...

Nah, I've been wicked busy. I'm still dialing in the NOS kit. It
seems to lean out at high RPM. I think my fuel pump isn't
keeping up. Other than that, it kicks ass!  I looked at a '96
S-10 to replace the Mazda with. Problem is, with a '96, it has
to pass an OBD II emmisions test. So its not a very good candidate
for my old GN engine. The Mazda is starting to rust out bad.
I've allready welded up a few holes in the frame. So I'm just trying
to make it as fast as I can, before I retire it. :evil;

Change out your needles, easiest thing to do. I was going to say get a bigger fuel pump too, isn't a 350 Buick pump interchangable? A pressure regulator and gauge couldn't hurt either. Check for pressure drop when you squeeze.

Hey, build my dream car. I want a frame from an all wheel drive GMC van and put a GMC Sonoma body on it. They bolt right up. BAM! AWD S-10!

If I remember correctly, the 350 pumps only work on the older odd fire V6's.
I think that they did something different with the fuel pump eccentric on the
old bolt together cams ? I put a fuel pressure gague on my hood to check
it out, but its been raining.  Traction really becomes an issue then.

Why not just get a 4wd Sonoma ? I'll try to get some more pics up later.
