we have a leftover dry NOS nitrous kit (5115 I believe is the old part number) from the Probe that we only ran once or twice a long, long, long time ago but stored well. at the time, I was new to nitrous and only used it because I got it really cheap and the turbo we selected was far, far too large for our use and we couldn't spool it off the line. I hooked it up exactly like the instructions said and thought nothing of it since.
Until now. the slobra is in desperate need of some giddyupidness and we're both eyeing the bottle, the gauges, and the wideband sitting next to it and drooling since we are trying to go fast and save for a house. however, dry shots are gay. so:
1) I've done a lot of custom brake line flaring and bending on custom cars and restoration projects and I'm looking at the direct port kits and the wet-to-dry conversion kits. we're probably going to start with a 40 wet shot and step it up to 100 or 125, so i got the part list that we need for the conversion and I've started picking a few things up. the hard lines look really good on the direct port kits and apparently can flow upwards of 250 shots. so can I (rather than using the flexible stainless steel AN lines), use stainless hard lines with appropriate fittings? I will still leave the bottle --> nitrous solenoid as the flexible, but I think the others would look really good in stainless hard line, no?
2) the hard lines are sold with compression fittings...are you kidding me? can't I just double flare them and use 3/16" line fittings, compression fittings are gay and dangerous.
3) I was going to start the kit with a MSD window switch and a WOT microswitch. if we upgrade to a progressive controller in the future, that negates the need for the window switch, correct?
Thanks for any help offered,
