Advanced Nitrous questions

[virtualbasil]

Not required and nor should he want it in the first place. And furthermore there are names and brands who make transmissions equal to the down payment on small houses. $2800 for a built transmission IMO is still considered "reasonable".




Your transmission will be fine. Don't miss any shifts or grind the gears as always of course. Your only concern is your clutch. I would go for a Stage 2 of whatever your preferred brand is. I have an Exedy right now myself. If you plan to go serious with an all out nitrous build then later down the line you might want to invest in a Stage 3; a lighter flywheel would be nice as well.

Nope the $2800 is jus for the adapter kit to put a B trans on a F lol thats alot anyway you look at it

anyways I'm just gonna stand with a fuel managment system. How do you tune neptune? is it windows based? and does it have USB connectivity like hondata s300?? because Neptune Is like waaay cheaper than hondata.

Neptune

To run neptune you also need an emulator, unless there is a licenced tuner near you.

HRTuning

Check out HRTuning, the website I linked above. If customer service and continued support for a product are something you find important I would recommend you spend a few hours looking through the forum and looking at the dedication that HR has for neptune and the community that uses it.

He is like deev when it comes to posting, only and no offence to deev lol, he wrote the program you are using, this would be like if deev designed and built the cb7.

He responds to ANY legitimate problem and will personally ask for datalogs to try and figure out the problem.

The total cost for a licence and demon emulator(really awesome hardware!) is $400.

Compare the available options between s300, ectune, and even crome pro. Better yet, if you know people who have tuned on any of the systems, go talk to them.

I switched from crome and know that besides some dabbling in open source crome free I will not go to any other program for my honda obd1 tuning needs.

Oh and yes it is windows, mac, and I even believe linux capable(I haven't looked to be sure though) I am running it on windows 7 right now, no problems except if my laptop falls asleep while logging I have to restart the program to get it to log again. That is the worst I have encountered and there is probably a fix for it.

it has LIVE GRAPHING thats freaking awesome now I need a little LCD display in my car to show that . . . jus so it looks cool, and my blue NOS bottle.

Can I buy a ZEX kit without the bottle and buy a Blue NOS bottle will they be compatible?

[Joey GT-R]

You might as well just buy a kit from NOS/Holley. I didn't say Zex is what you should get, I'm just saying that it's my personal endorsement. Yes the bottles are I guess cool cuz they say "NOS" but I feel that both Zex and Nitrous Express are both better kits. But if that's what you want, yes you can get a kit without the bottle and then buy a bottle. But then people would wonder why you have a mismatched nitrous kit.

[virtualbasil]

I'm confused about the emulator . . . so $400 gets me everything i need? I just want to send my ECU somewhere and have them send it back to me where all I have to do is basically plug and tune. Also I dont really need a wet kit if I have Neptune right? It would evenly distribute the fuel.

wet kit

the N20 kit has nothing to do with the EMS (engine management system) itself If you want to spay fuel with your n20 you need a kit that comes with the fuel solenoid other goodies.

The neptune RTP board requires a socketed ecu with dataloging header.

This will not change regardless of what ems you decide to go with.

I think both hondata and neptune sell packages with an ecu, but I think it adds about another $150 to the price of either.

I do not know how much you know about tuning, or if you are planning to tune yourself, but besides the ecu, emulator and software we have been talking about it is pretty much impossible to tune without a wideband O2 sensor.
These range in price from $150 and up.

I started out with an Innovate LC1, and after a while upgraded to a PLX SM-AFR

It is sort of pricey to start the tuning process lol.

If you have to break it up, I recommend getting the wideband and the chipped ecu first, then running crome free and then upgrading to a nicer ems.

I think all but hondata now have trade in programs for emulators, so if you had to get something like an ostrich to start that wouldnt be the end of the world.

Anyway, this is wayyyyy off topic for N20 questions, if you have additional EMS / ECU / Tuning questions it would probably be best to start a new thread and continue them there.
