Hello, I have an '03 Ninja 636-R, I've seen some questions where you say you will need a power commander for this bike, and others you say as long as you run the 20hp jet, you don't need a power commander, could you clear this up, Thanks a lot.

The best way is to tune on a dyno. Make a pull with the 20 HP jet and check the A/F ratio. If it is OK then you are good to go. If not you will need to richen mixture with a power commander or MPS Fast FI.

Will the Daytona WEGO II Wide Band O2 system work on a 1996 zx-750-p it is not fuel injected. If yes, about how much horse power will I gain? Are there instalation instructions included?

The Daytona WEGO II Wide Band O2 System will work on any 4 cycle gasoline engine and comes with complete installation instructions. It is a data acquisition system, therefore you will gain zero horsepower by just installing the WEGO II. However, you will gain vital information for tuning your bike. A good tuner can use the WEGO II to make more horsepower while preventing costly engine damage.

I am considering a Data Logger purchase. I own a turbo pro-mod bike.  The 60-DL10KIT seems to have a good basic function. I would want to monitor engine RPM, wheel speed and boost pressure. What would I buy to have this unit do what I need? Is there modifications required during install, it seems to be primarily directed towards car use.

The RPM Performance data logger comes with all functions you need with the exception of a 0-50 pressure sensor and analog cable for the boost measurement. It comes with a magnet collar that may need to be machined to fit your countershaft sprocket. I had to machine both the sprocket and the collar for my bike. You will also need to fabricate a mount for the sensor to pick up the magnet collar. The system was designed for automotive use but is perfectly suited for motorcycle use. I researched quite a few data acquisition systems before deciding to carry this one. Tech support is something to consider as well when buying a system.

I have a 2005 Kawasaki ZX-10R and basically my question is how safe is this for your engine... seeing as your obviously injecting a lot of explosive content into an aluminum engine block... and when injected does it just squirt nitrous or is it a nitrous/fuel mixture entering the engine.... I just don't want to install this kit and use it a few times and have it blow up my engine or something.... and can the average person with basic knowledge of motorcycles install this kit on a weekend or something...Thanks for your time

Nitrous oxide is an oxidizer. It is not flammable. It does contain twice the oxygen molecules of air in the atmosphere. You will need to add the appropriate amount of fuel to maintain the correct air/fuel ratio when the nitrous oxide is introduced. You can do this via a power commander or a Fast IF Mixture Control. Yes, The average person can install these items in an afternoon. A trip to the dyno for correct tuning and to be sure you have the correct A/F ratio.

Is it ok to mount a 10 oz bottle on its side rather than vertical ?

You will lose capacity. Nitrous is liquid. With the bottle on its side it can only pick up from 1/2 way full and above. Plus you have the slosh factor. 10 OZ bottles have no siphon tube and must be mounted upside down or have a siphon tube installed.

I have a 2004 GSXR 1000 the nitrous system is installed, my question is, is it necessary to have a purge system and if so can you recommend one. Thanks

No it isn't necessary. A purge is needed when you heat bottles to above the running pressure before you run. Then purge them just before they run so they know exactly what bottle pressure they have at the start of their run.  Everyone else does it because they think it looks cool.

Hey, I have an 03 gsxr 1000 with a power commander, will I have to remap the bike? Aslo you said it won't damage the engine with proper fuel added, what is the proper fuel?

You are adding oxygen with nitrous so you must add fuel. The factory inlet temp sensor being cold from the nitrous will compensate for small HP gains without modifications. As you get more HP you will need more fuel than the temp sensor can provide. You can then use a power commander or our Fast FI Mixture Control to add fuel to the mix. For really big HP you will need the Fast FI with its instant rich feature. This locks the injectors open while the nitrous solenoid is on. The best way to tune any of these combinations is on a dyno with a O2 sensor to provide you with fuel mixture information.  The more HP you make the more stress is involved on all engine and drive train components.

I am installing a shifter on my 2000 GSXR 1300 and was wondering if i could use NOS instead of CO2? I am going to use a paintball bottle for the gas so will one of your bottle valves and regulators work for me?

You shouldn't use nitrous oxide for your air shifter because the seals in the cylinder and valves in your air shifter are made of Buna N rubber.  Nitrous oxide attacks this material deteriorating it in a short time.  It may work for a while but seal life will be a problem.  I would recommend CO2.  The paintball bottle probably uses a 5/8" - 18 thread.  Most DOT Air Bottle threads are 3/4" - 16.  Our regulator kits come with a 3/4" - 16, but we have the smaller 5/8" - 18 bottle valves as well.  You just need to specify that you need the smaller valve.  We also have filler adapters so a paintball refiller can also fill your shifter bottle.

I recently purchased a MPS Electronic Engine Kill for my 2000 Suzuki GSXR 1300. I am having a difficult time determining the colors of the negative wires on my coils.  Can you please help me with this problem?

You probably have 8 wires going to your 4 coils.  4 should be of a common color. (gray for the Hayabusa)  The common colored wires are normally the positive side of the coils.  You will hook up the 4 brown wires to the negative side of each coil.

I use an old air shifter push button with a MSD shift light and MSD MC1 with two step box.  I want to know if I buy an Auto-shift control box, what part I have to change to run with this unit ?  I think I have to change the air micro switch to an electric solenoid !  Do you want to confirm that ?

I am assuming you have a air over air system like a MRE Junior shifter. You will need the following components to convert it to electric over air style necessary to use the Autoshift Control Box. A Pro Button w/air ports p/n 1-0186 &  Electric Air Valve p/n 1-0037. The Autoshift p/n 1-0010 will work correctly with your ignition and the above component

I recently installed a MPS electronic engine kill on a 2000 Suzuki GSXR 600. My 4 coils are a parallel connection. There are 2 coils in pairs, which makes it very hard to determine where the 4 brown wires connect to? Do I connect all of the 4 wires or just 2 wires??

When wired in parallel  You should have two wires coming from your ECM, one going to cylinder 1 or 4 with a jumper wire between them and the other to cylinder 2 or 3 .with a jumper wire between them.  Then you should have power going to the remaining four leads.  If this is the case you would connect two brown wires to the two leads coming from the ECM.  Then ground the other 2 brown wires.  

Can you help with some instructions for hooking up your air clutch.....most importantly the red / blue / green  / wires coming from the switch under the clutch handle?   I know these are for a two step but where do these wires hook to?

These wire connections are the same for all MPS clutch lever switches.  In electrical terminology the red is the switches common pole, blue is normally closed, and green is normally open.  In easier to understand terms the red and blue are connected when the lever is out while the red and green are connected when the lever is pulled in.  In most cases the blue wire is not used and the two step device is connected to the red and green wires.  It depends on the model of two stage rev limiter where you hook up the wires.  You will need to consult the directions of the specific product you are using.

 

MPS Dry Nitrous Kit FAQs

I am looking at installing a nitrous setup on my 04 zx10r...I saw that you offer a MPS fast FI mixture control...will this work on my bike? Is the install pretty straight forward or very extensive??? Will it work with a Dynojet PCIII USB??? Also what advantage is it in using a M P S Dry Nitrous Dual Nozzle Kit?? I am looking at all options and will use it if it helps.
When you have a higher horsepower kits the Fast FI is a necessity to deliver the most possible fuel. The install is easy. It has a power, ground, wire to each injector, and the instant rich lead that goes to your nitrous system. It will work with a Power Commander using only the instant rich feature. The dual nozzle kit just offers a little better distribution of nitrous when using a dry kit. 

Any experience installing this product on a 900 air cooled ducati SS? post '99 fuel injected motor, of course. if so what is the procedure for a moderate gain target?
No experience with that specific bike.

Hey i was wondering when the nitrous would shut off when you let go off the starter button or otherwise thanks.
When you release the button the nitrous shuts off.

i just bought a gsx-r750, i put 1000 miles on it, im thinking about getting a yosh rs3 bolt on pipe and i was looking at this kit.. i just want a quick 20 hp gain, what are the chances that it will do damage to my engine..and what can i do to make it more efficient.
20 HP is not a problem. We recommend our MPS Fast FI Mixture Control or Power Commander to add additional fuel.

how long a shot can i get with a 1LB tank if i held it till it was empty... just to get an idea of how many shots i would get (everyone has a different idea of how long a shot is)
20 - 25 Seconds

Okay, one more question before I beg my wife for the money for this system, hahahaha. How do you regulate the horsepower boost from 20hp, to say 40hp, because you recommended a 30hp to 40 hp shot for my Gixxer 750. And if you could give my wife Gina some reassuring words about how safe your product is helps me all that much more. 
The kit comes with jets to regulate the amount of nitrous that is injected. It comes with a .028" jet, .032" jet, and a .036" jet. Corresponding to approx 20, 30, and 40 HP respectively.

now with a 30 or 40hp shot in my Gsxr 750, what gear should I be in to safely hit my nos button, and what is an A/F ratio module, please help, thank you
Air Fuel Ratio. I would try 3rd gear first then second.

 I have a Suzuki Gsxr 750 with a yosh (EMS) engine management system and TRS yosh pipe, I also have motor upgrades and mods, the bike is a 2003 with 15755 miles on it and it runs as strong as the day I bought it, what kind of shot do you recommend that I should use
I would probably use 30 or 40 HP jets. Always run it on a dyno with a A/F ratio module so you can see if you have enough fuel to support the additional nitrous.

I have a Honda Cbr 600RR. It's all stock except for an RS-5 yosh. Do I need to upgrade anything like my fuel pump etc. Also can this set up damage my motor at all. How much can I use it. 
No upgrades to motor if you use small jets. We recommend a dyno pull after install to be sure you aren't lean. Use it all you want.

 I saw that it will work on my V-Twin TL1000S if I read correctly. What modifications will I need to make to accomodate it and how big of a deal is it to install?
Easy to install. If you use the small jets you won't need anything other than a power commander or Fast FI unit.

can this system be used on a small 49cc pocket bike motor? Ive done an online search at google for a nitrous kit for these bikes and I cannot find a supplier... this is an exploding market, the bikes are reasonably priced, an inexpensive kit for pocket bikes would sell well... because there IS no kit currently available... I look forward to your reply and any thoughts concerning this
No, this kit is for fuel injected bikes.

i have a 01 zx12 will it add alot i have exauhst and power comandere
40 plus HP

will it work on harley
If its fuel injected.

yes how hard would this kit be to hook up to a tl 1000r and will i need anything extra is there a special application for a v-twin
There is no special application for V-Twins. It would work with the TL.

I have a 03 kawasaki zx6rr ninja, do you have you have dyno charts of that? if i use super premium gasoline without the Fast FI Mixture Control Unit, will it be alright.
No, we have no dyno charts for that bike. You should be able to use the small jets with a power commander set to richen the top 90% throttle opening.

Will the system be fine in the cold?
It will run richer in the cold weather. You may need to increase jet size to compensate for lower bottle pressures.

 I want to know if I would have to change any of the stock components like the piston to have the system installed or can I stay factory..I have a 99 gsxr750.
 No, you can get moderate horsepower increases without changes to pistons.

Have '02 roadstar warior, will this kit work?
If it is fuel injected the kit will work.

do you have any no2 kits for a 99 gsxr 600 carb
NOS 4 cylinder kits p/n 3-03008nos will fit your application.

I have an 04 gsxr750. I want to get about 20 hp out of the system. Would it be better to get the commander, or will it be fine. how hard would it be to wire the kit to the passing light switch.
You can probably get away with nothing for that small of a HP. But, you really should go to a dyno and find out the air fuel ratio before you use it extensively. If it is lean you will need a power commander or other means of richening the fuel mixture.

I have a 02 gsxr1000 and would like this system. Can I run it without adding more fuel? or will it harm my motor. How big of a shot is this system and how much can I run without more fuel.
You can run the smaller jets with no added fuel. The air temp sensor will add more fuel for this type power settings. For more power our Fast FI Mixture Control or a Power Commander will be necessary.

How many nozzle does this come with. If only one, can I get an extra one? Does it work off of a full throttle switch?
It comes with one nozzle. We offer a dual nozzle kit. You can wire it for a full throttle switch but it comes with a starter button switch swapper.

do you guys offer purge soleniods for this kit?
Yes, but there is really no need for them unless you just want the look of a purge.

ive got a 03 honda 954RR does your kit wire directly into the factory wiring harness. also is their any thing special ill need to do when installing this kit on this bike?
You will need to cut the wire that runs from your starter button to your starter relay to install the kit. That is really the only wiring that is needed.

 I have a 04 zx10r ninja what would i need to put nitrous on it. just the kit or do i need a power commander. i want to try to get 40hp out of it. what would you recommend.
I would recommend our Fast FI Mixture Control Unit or a Power Commander for 40 plus HP levels.

where would i fill the bottle? 
Any NOS retailer, speed shop etc.

The more HP you make the more stress is involved on all engine and drivetrain components.

Can the solenoid be mounted further away from the bottle, like under the Tank on a Hayabusa. I want to hide the solenoid and wires so no one can mess with them and then run a steel braided line to the solenoid 
Sure. You will need 2 1/8NPT Male x #4 AN Male fittings and a length of #4 line with 2 #4 AN hose ends.

how much experience does it take to install this syste? What other products are needed in order for this system to perform at its best
 
It would take average mechanical skills. The optimum system would use the Fast FI Mixture Control to add additional fuel.

Will it make a difference for my V-Twin TL1000R? I have heard that it will harm the injection system. But at the track I would like to have a couple mph gain in my last gears.
 
It won't hurt injectors. You should be able to get 20-30 more HP without much problem.

I have an 02 gsxr 600 completely stock(fuel injected) is the nitrous going to damage my engine in any way?
No, not in moderate amounts with the proper fuel added.

I have a Suzuki Hayabusa 1300 CC. I know the kit will work, but what are the deminsions of the bottle. I want to know the lenght and how it mounts to a bike
3" diameter x 10" long. You will need to fab your own mount of we have a billet bracket for $35.00.

u have any test on a 2001 honda 929rr......will this work for my bike.Will i be able to tell the difference?
If your bike is fuel injected it will work and you will be able to feel a difference. We have no dyno charts for that bike. Sorry

are there any dyno sheets avail? I own a 2002 GSXR 750... just want to see some hard numbers. thanks
Not for a 750.

does it have a TPS so that it only comes on at WOT?
No, it has a switch swapper that converts the starter button into the nitrous button. The nitrous is only on when you push the button.

Hey, I have an 02 yamaha r6, would this dry kit work with my bike??
If your R6 is Fuel Injected it will work fine.
