question about flow tools,

[R347GT]

Does anybody have any knowledge that could help me with my tuning techniques with a flow tool. Do you guys measure at your bypass regulator for your nitrous or what I've also seen certian ones that reqiure jets. Just need to know how I can accurately use one?:confused: :confused:

Call or email Jeff Prock at Applied Nitrous Technology, he can flow test your system, plumb system, get you any parts or jets needed to flow your system accuratly and answer any questions you may have. His website is

from NMRA. Best in the business!!!!

Flowing the system with a fuel pressure gauge can sound confusing, but it's actually quite simple.

The best place to flow the system is anywhere after the regulator. Simply install a 'T' fitting after the regulator. When you're not flowing your system you will have a cap on the actual 'T'. When you want to set your flowing fuel pressure, you will run an AN line from your 'T' fitting to the supplied 'distribution block' that will send the fuel two different directions. This is where the jet comes into play. Assuming you're using any system with the exception of a NX system, you will always flow with a .072 jet. This will be your reference point. NX recommends their systems be done a little differently. Anyways, the .072 jet represents the amount of fuel your nitrous system will be using when your system is turned on. This jet will be placed in line of the fuel flow, just after the adaptor for the 2AN line that runs up to the gauge. Once you have the jet installed in the 'distribution block' and all of your fittings are tight, turn your fuel pump on. If you've done everything right you'll see the fuel pressure gauge give you a reading. From there you can adjust your regulator until you get the flowing fuel pressure you want.

If you're flowing a plate system then you don't use a .072 jet to flow with. You need to use whatever fuel jet you have in the plate.

There are some other things to keep in mind. Try to hold the gauge straight up, and level with the fuel solenoids. This will ensure that gravity doesn't play games with your system.

I use the NX Master Pro-Flo Gauge. It's a 5" gauge that reads from 0 - 15 PSI. It's a very nice piece and is available through Jegs/Summit for around $200.00. Speedtech also sells a very nice gauge for about the same price.

If you're interested in having a system flowed on a nitrous/fuel bench, then you should contact the guys at Speedtech. They have a very intricate bench with very precise nitrous/fuel metering devices. They will be able to help you with a tune-up that will be fast, consistant, and non-hurtfull to parts.

Good luck!
