Finally got the IRS refund check back!!! (About Time) Ordered my Venom Nitrous kit a few days ago. (Waiting Paitently) LOL Now I want to go ahead and change the plugs, ive heard too many arguments about which kind to go with so im asking this question to Venom users who have made the choice. Should i go with standard copper plugs, or platinum??? Can i get away with re gapping my stock plugs??? Ive only got 20K miles on my car and the plugs and wires are still in great shape. Thanks for any help.

 

Change Them! Absolutely change them. For 4 reasons and 4 good ones:

1st - You need to gap your plugs closer with nitrous to prevent missfires. Gap to 35 otherwise the juice tends to blow out the spark ('course, you don't need new plugs to do this, but they will be out anyway)

2nd - You need plugs that are one-step colder. This will help prevent detonation. Colder plugs pull more heat away from the combustion chamber.

3rd - You need to use copper. You will get a better spark and if you run lean, the copper will melt before your cyclinders.

4th - You need to read your plugs!!!!! You can't do this with old plugs. So, when you start at a 25 shot, make a few runs, and then pull one of the plugs and look for signs of detonation or lean a/f. Each time you increase your shot, pull the same plug and inspect it. Technically, you should pull of them, but I really don't think you need to take the time to do that. Lastly, you should get used to reading your plugs from time to time....it is a really good idea as you might prevent a disaster before it happens.

The Venom is the safest setup on the market. Follow these plug rules and you will be golden.

I use Autolite 103. They will cost you less then $16 for 8 plugs.

 

good advise and strait from the Venom user himself

 

Use NGK TR6's advanced auto has them. the part nunber is 4177 for the plugs.

they are one step colder and copper and are faily cheap they are great plugs.

Thanks for the advice... man you got to be the most helpful guy on the internet... Im on the way to Advanced Auot to pick them up now.

 

My pleasure! Once you get the kit, let me know as I can help you with the install. In fact, I can even email you a short video showing you where I put all my components...might save you some time.

 

Thanks again for the info... I picked up the Autolite plugs and will start the install on my next day off, that is after the kit arrives. Ill PM you my email address and I would highly appreciate the video clip. :toothy11:

 

is nitrous a smart choice for an 2002 model car w/ 80k highway miles? Thanks.

 

I think you would be fine with those miles. But with anything, the more miles you have, the more likely something will break such as rear-end, etc. But, I would not worry at all especially if they are 80k well maintained miles.

 

Hey MT Customer can i get that video from you...im installing the spray this weekend, and am trying to figure out where to plug into the injector harness, mount the module etc. Just curious if you could send. viggen11@hotmail.com

Thanks!

I will shoot the video this afternoon or tonight!!! Just don't laugh at my car as it is missing a hood at this time.

 

Both of my freinds with 94 auto z28;s are using nitrous and they both have over 140k miles and spray over 100shot. one uses 125 the other is a 150 wet. Its totaly fine as long as the motor is in good runnign condition.

 

Video is done. It is 31 MB. Being emailed as I type. I hope it is not too big to email. Otherwise, I don't know what to do.

 

Well, the email got rejected since the file was too large. Any suggestions? I will try to zip it and see if that works.

 

MT, if you get a minute can you throw that email my way too? idenxpress@yahoo.com , im really getting interested in nitrous. Thank you!

 

Well guys, I tried to zip it and the file is still too large for the the email system. I also tried to upload it in the video forums and I could not get it to work. Crap, I am really stuck. Any ideas?

I might try my other computer.

 

do you have an AOL Instant Messanger address? we could transfer files Direct Connect. Thanks.

 

No. Any other ideas?

 

Have you ever used WINMX, it would perfect for this project, just install the app and make a special folder for the file, make only that folder your shared folder and tell us the name of the file. We will then be able to do a search when you tell us your online, we could set up a designated time to do the download. Winmx is very slick and has to my knowledge no trojans or spyware. Only way i could think for us to accomplish this outside of AOL or Yahoo instant messanger. Let me know by reply or PM if you need some help setting up WINMX.

 

I will do a search and see if I can find this program.

 

The web link is www.winmx.com You might some other cool uses for this program as well. Its where i get my hard to find mp3's and found a lot of the Best Motoring videos there as well .

 

Yea I have a baker electronix window switch and can anyone tell me where I can locate the tachometer wire to tap into? Engine signal from ecm?
Thanks
