Advice for first time nitrous user?
I just picked up a bone stock '90 rx7 convertible. I'm eventually planning on adding a turbo, all new suspension, brakes, roll cage, LSD, a whole lot of other goodies, and taking it to the track. In the meantime while I save up some money, I have a wet shot nitrous system just laying around my garage I want to throw in it. I don't remember what size the jets are in it exactly (obviously I'll check before I put it in), but it's roughly a 60-70 shot. It's pretty bare bones, bottle, lines, solenoids, fogger and purge. I know I should have an afr gauge, and a lean mix safety cutoff, but what else do I need/should I have? Can the stock fuel pump keep up? What can the stock engine handle without risk of damaging anything? I did a compression check before I bought it, front rotor was around 93 and rear rotor was around 96 in all three chambers. I have never used/installed nitrous before, or even really done any performance work (unless you count bolt on's and glass packs)... I'm very mechanically inclined but I have zero experience on this type of thing- so I'd love to hear from someone wiser than myself!<br />

Thanks in advance,<br />

Thanks for the input everyone! I've decided to upgrade my brakes and suspension and just enjoy her at the track while I save up money for doing a rebuild and adding a turbo. Might be a while lol...

Probably a good choice. No sense in stressing the motor without the proper build.
