Nitrous running through the muffler

Does anyone know if nitrous leaks through the muffler. Someone told me they saw liquid going out of my muffler when I was spraying. When I was running rich, my muffler seemed as if something was spraying out.
Im running fine with no problems. The 91 octane gas and octane booster mightve helped.

well depending on how cold it is your muffler might spray water. i know mine does that when it gets under 40 degrees or so.

It cant be notrous man. By the time N2O goes through the whole combustion system, it will be in an atomized or gas form..... It's just condensation from the exhaust system. Mine does it too, espcially on cold weather.... and I dont even have nitrous....

yeah what the others said.

now about the octane booster

if you're running octane booster like those little bottles you buy at the auto parts store, its a waste. it'll raise your octane from 91 to like 91.2.

go to a paint store and buy a few gallons of toluene which byitself is 114 octane, here's a good read on it: http://evo.jedinite.com/toluene.html

the booster supposidleyt adds 5 points. Actually I got the octane booster from my mechanic for free. Also Im realizing now that I have the pressure gauge on, I can spray when its in the green. When I spray when pressure is around 6 then it runs rich. Before I didnt have a gauge so I didnt know the pressure.
What I have noticed is that california's hot weather keeps the pressure in the green zone. I thought it would be hot but it isnt.

I know that. It says it on the bottle.

You said 91.2 so I just said 5 points instead of 2

Hows the MSD 6 kit anyways. I'm thinking of getting that for my car. Its only about 150. Does it really help out with retarding the ignition? could I make my redline higher with MSD?

do you really think an extra .3 is somehow gonna make any difference???

as for the digital 6, its great, not sure how it'd work with your car since I believe its distributerless.

but no you cannot raise the revlimit, you'd need a chip or somekind of ecu piggy back or replacement for that, then you could set the soft touch revlimit at any rpm thats lower, which you definitly want w/ nitrous.

and the automatic timing retard is also awesome for nitrous.

as for the MSD ignition. It automatically retards the timing without dynoing? Or programming?

Does this chip you are talking about advance the timing at all?

yes it automatically retards timing (by whatever you set the dial too)when a 12v switch is activated, so you'd tap into the power wire that gets activated on the nitrous kit when its spraying. no tuning required.

you can get just a chip that just removes or raises the rev-limit and nothing else, but your car is a 2001 so i'm not sure if you can just swap out the chip in your ecu (yes soldering is required).

i had to solder the switch to my lighter plugs. It wasnt that hard.
the hard part was cutting a peice of the metal. Behing my dash where the switch was wouldnt fit because of the switches behind. So i had to cut the meta l part behind it in order to make it fit. Now I have a drilled out box on my strutural body.
do you know what I mean?

for the automatic timing retard you'll want to tap into something that gets power only when the nitrous is actually spraying. what your talking about sounds like it always has power to it.
