Default Nozzle installation

Hello, I have been looking at a few nozzle style wet kits for my 1985 Corvette. I am just wondering how people install the nozzles onto these engines? If anyone could post a picture, that would be well appreciated.

Thanks.

I don't really have an answer to your question, but I wondered why you wouldn't just get a plate and call it a day. I believe that plates atomize better (many small holes) and are easy to install.

I had a NX nitrous (the best of the best system) with a fuel/nitrous nozzle plumbed into the intake ducting just ahead of my TB.

Really simple cut a hole in a plastic and used the supplied threaded metal grommet and sleeve

you know my feelings on nitrous....

I'll see if I can find a pic but its pretty simple. Drill a small hole, insert the fitting with the nozzle attached and tighten it down.
Here are a couple of nozzle kits.
Let me know if you have any questions or pm me for a forum price.

I'd choose a plate over stuffing a nozzle in my convoluted plastic intake track. That seems like a backyard way of doing it.

Good luck!

I'm not sure the "best of the best" includes stuffing a single nozzle in a plastic duct. JMHO
