Nitrous Caravan at SDAC 25

[2.216VTurbo]

So the Nitrous kit on last years Mustang was kinda underwhelming because of the closed loop fuel system only allowed fuel enrichment by blowing the dry shot thru the hotwire MAF. It was good for 8MPH at the strip but it never really ran cleanly or consistently. So it seems like a fun idea to add the 'rental nitrous kit' to this years car I have reserved at BWI airport, a Grand Caravan. So the question is this, have any of you seen the fuel system on the 3.6 the Caravan has, is there a Schrader valve like the good ole days so we can tap into it for a much more tunable and consistant wet-shot set up? Any special fitings or pieces I can add to the kit I'm gonna ship to the hotel to make it more useable? I have a bottle heater but we've never needed top use it because it's always plenty warm at SDAC. I think we had a bad solenoid a couple years ago so I'll bring a couple extras and the WOT switch was kinda janky last year too. Realistically, I don't even open the shipping crate for the kit until a few days before SDAC but this year I want to be a little better prepared. I think Russ J had to supply a couple parts from his stash last year just to make the kit function.

I'll look outside in a few min. Work 3.6l caravan sitting there. (Coworkers)

No Schrader valve that I can see under the hood but it looks like it uses standard quick disconnect fuel fittings like a neon at the plastic!?!? Fuel rails. All the flex lines are the hard plastic lines.

Looks like you could use the female quick disconnect fuel fitting for the fuel filter back by the tank of a neon and then a piece of metal line with the step crimp for the quick disconnect and make a T to tap off of the fuel system at the rail.

I've always wondered what these 3.6s can do. I guess we'll be finding out in a couple of weeks. This will be glorious.

Uploading pics right now. The quick connect is a 5/16 and you can get the fuel pressure test adapter which has the -4 an/shrader in the middle. They also make actual nitrous adapters that will work inline of the fuel line which do the same thing

I like this idea But then I still hve to get from this adapter to the fuel line for the kit, I've only used a Schrader screw on tap in in the past so that's what the fuel line to the solenoid has. I'm still a fitting short with this style...

Here is the one with the test port already on it.

So with the pressure 'tester' that's the only piece I need? It has the Schrader, the other end is kinda plugged into itself so I don't think I understand if that fits into the fuel rail or?

[Aries_Turbo]

Yeah that one looks strange. ^^^^

Don't want to block flow of the fuel

Unless that small silver piece is 5/16 and they just loop it to keep the inside clean.

[shackwrrr]

Its just looped, one end is a female 5/16 quick connect that hooks to the rail, the other is s 5/16 male that hooks to the fuel line. The schrader is in the middle and is the standard -4 connection.

Ill check but I believe there is a junction at the firewall on the vans, will make it easier than digging down to the intake.

[Aries_Turbo]

The junction by the intake is up front and easy to get. Take the cover off and it'd right there.

Get ordering Alan lol.

Ok I guess now I have to go to SDAC this year to see this. Besides someone has to keep the police away.

Awesome!

Quick shipping and its a Miller Tool. Bonus! Now I need to dig thru the jets and see which ones I am short, I think a few got misplaced over the rental years

Only thing I'd be worried about is the electronic throttle causing an issue during shifts. Make sure you get the extra coverage .

What are all these nitrous pills doing in the Cadillac?

[Aries_Turbo]

What is the fuel pressure on a caravan these days?
