Is it a bad idea to put the meth/water nozzles from my ECS kit into the coupler instead of the airbridge itself? Will this lead to boost leaks or tears in the hose? My new BBK airbridge is way too thick to drill/tap into with the type of nozzles I have right now.

I would think that if you've clamped down/pinched on the coupler w/ washers it should be fine.. Just keep a spare available just in case though...

out of curiosity, why?

I had mine in the coupler and I didnt have any leaks. All I did was run a rubber backed washer on both sides. This way the rubber formed to the coupler itself.

Just machine a counterbore into the air bridge then drill and tap it.

Couplers should work fine if you have a formed washer on each side, but I usually do the counter bore in the hard stuff.

Depends on pressure as well. Running less than 15 PSI shouldnt be an issue. You can always install a 3 inch ID sleeve thats 1 inch wide into the hose coupler. Or 4 inch depending on hose coupler.

I have installed probably 20 nozzles into IC end tanks, what I do on those is not use the washers. And drill and tap the hole so the nozzle threads through the aluminum. I have also seen where a die grinder is used to remove some of the material from the inside of the metal bridge, thus reducing the thickness.. this would also work. As well as milling down an area.

PS, if you only have a few threads to work with, red loc-tite the elbow. You dont want a nozzle to get loose. That would be a bad thing

I called Chris at ECS to find out where to plumb the nozzle. He told me to move the MAF down to the intercooler outlet and swap the metal tubing closer to the throttle body and to plumb the alcohol nozzle into the metal ducting. I had to trim the metal ducting a bit to get everything to sit nice and low under the hood. I wish I had known that I could have just plumbed the nozzle into the short silicone hose between the MAF and the throttle body.
