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 />
<br />
Thanks in advance,<br />

I've heard it will blow if you just install nos on it how it is

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.
