N20 system install questions..
A few questions for you guys that are running n2o systems, how did you run the line from your bottle to the engine bay? Where did you mount your solenoids? For the fuel feed, I'm running a 3 port fuel pressure regulator, currently I'm only using 1 port for the carb, pressure is set to 5-6 psi, can I simply run a line from my regulator for the fuel supply or is the pressure too low? I only plan on a 150 shot and I'd really like to avoid a seperate pump and line just for the n20 system.. also post some pics of your engine bays! I really need some ideas where to put things! thanks guys!

You might want to try posting this in the Nitrous/Forced Induction section as well.

NS adjustable kit on my '85 (older "in progress" shot):
Overall view of the engine bay:
I routed my feed line alongside the factory steel fuel lines, tucking it up out of the way. You can't see it unless you're looking for it. Once in the engine compartment, I used some Made For You clamps to attach it alongside the A/C high side pipe coming off the evaporator (keeping it away from the headers in the process). Sorry, no pics of that just yet.
At the other end, I drilled a hole in the very front of the storage compartment and using a grommet, fed the line through. I then drilled the compartment door and ran the line through it (using a custom made plate made of DP aluminum), shown below:
For fuel, I used an available port from my FP regulator (line pressure set to 8 pounds).
Hope this helps ya!

How did you anchor the bottle mounts? what type of screws and such?
