What plugs to use at BPU + Nitrous

WannaBe TT! said:

I'm just curious if i should stick with my NGK 3330's after (if?) i get nitrous. I know mkiv.com said to go with a different plug, but that site has some old info on it, so i was wondering what you guys recommend.

Also, how do you recommend i set up the nitrous system so that it's safest. Should i get a bottle heater, pressure gauge, purge system, remote bottle opener, MSD switch, etc. etc. What do you think is necessary for a safe system? I also planned on running a 65 shot, but my engine has 100k miles on it... so i don't know if i should really add nitrous. I will have the compression tested before i do put nitrous on it. What do you guys think? Thanks.

Somebody with some NOS experience?

Stay away from NOS... its safe when used correctly... but if you aren't careful you WILL blow your motor. Thats a risk i'm not willing to take. So i wouldn't run NOS... but if its worth it for you. Anyway, you should have the car tuned for it so the air/fuel ratio is correct (detonation is what blows engines, not the nos itself), a bottle heater to keep at the correct temperature is a decent idea, tho not necessary, and a purge valve is a MUST... because it looks cool. Again... i advise against it. But if you do it its gonna cost more $ than it seems to stay safe. Go buy a VENOM kit... if they have it for a supra. It is computer controlled and can keep your engine *relatively* safe.

You don't want the VENOM or the ZEX kits because they are dry systems. You need to go with the NOS or NX wet kits because they are a lot safer for our cars. Go with as much safty equipment as possible.
