ok so the big black thing on top is like a standard tb? Them black lines are "fuel". If its machanical then it like a carb with injs right? How does it get the fuel to the inj? and know how much to send to eack one? On the fogger it said fuel on one side and N2O on the other will you be running nos through both sides then?
A lot of stupid questions I know and nothing I'll ever probablly get into but just trying to learn some new stuff
The black thing on top is the throttle body. It's 1400 CFM with a single butterfly. The mechanical fuel injection works on a crankshaft driven pump with a gog pulley. So, the fuel delivery is controlled by the engine's rpm. The fuel goes to a distribution block where it is distributed to the individual injector lines.
The plate is exactly how it looks. N2o on one side and fuel on the other. If you look carefully at the picture of the plate, you will see a total of four spray bars, two on the top and two on the bottom. One bar for N2o and one bar for fuel on the front and back of the plate. Fuel goes in on the passenger side and N2o goes in on the driver's side.
The nitrous system needs to have it's own fuel system so I don't screw up the fuel distribution of my manual injection system. I will be using an Aeromotive pump and regulator set to about 9 psi. Because my fuel cell is in the front fender, it will be pretty easy to plumb.
The bottle will where the passenger seat used to be and the whole system will be run on a time based progressive controller that will activate when I release the transbrake button.

I have the same question, don't feel stupid
also does the car even have a serpentine belt or is the spark made by a monster battery or what?
Right now, the car has two belts. One for the fuel pump and one for the vaccuum pump. On motor, I didn't really need to run an alternator. And, I actually have two batteries in the trunk. But, with the added electrical demand of the nitrous system, I will have to put the alternator back in the car. I won't run it with a serpentine, though. I will either incorporate the alternator into the belt for the vaccuum pump, or I will put another pulley on the crankshaft mandrel to run the pump.
