DSM Fuel pump Q?
what pump filter screen should I use? Can I use a stock replacement for our cars, one off of a GSX, or what?
Is that screen dependent on the fuel tank design, the feed tube, or the pump itself? I haven't changed out one of these so I'm not sure.
Thanks

Red, you are right about the stock valves holding up to lots of nitrous.
the only problem is that when you add more nitrous, you also increase the cylinder temperatures... this can lead to melted exhaust valves.. even if your tuning is dead on, you may have this problem with a large amount of nitrous... i suggested steel valves because they CAN withstand lots more heat than a 150 shot of nitrous smile.gif
one more thing, nitrous itself does not cool anything except the intake manifold. in fact, adding more fuel is what keeps things cool when using nitrous.
but if you want to run the stock valves with a big shot, go ahead. i suggest that you run a little on the rich side to keep the cyl temperatures down.

Not necessarily...
A 500WHP Supra will aim for 900 degree (celius) EGT temperatures -- so will a 300WHP Eclipse. Nobody here is making enough power to burn valves, except for possibly the guys out in Korea.
And it's a very proven fact that intake temperatures affect exhaust temperatures -- and I'm sure you can guess why... Temperatures don't suddenly "even out" when they're in the combustion chamber. If you're getting colder intake temperatures (from NOS or anything else) then you're getting cooler EGT's as well...
The valves are fine with nitrous, probably as much nitrous as you could ever want.

Well right off I would just like to increment it until I reach 100, then stay for awhile. Later I would probably decide, I need more, so I'd start upgrading, but 100 is my goal right now, but like I said N/A first off.
Also would I need to fabricate a new intake manifold for the use of direct port, or should the stocker be able to support it?
