Running wires through firewall question
I'd like to mount the nitrous mastermind under the passenger dash and I was wondering if anyone knew if there's an easy access factory hole through the firewall, or am I going to have to drill my own? Suggestions? TIA! :)

Gee, I'd love to know the answer to that question too cause I'm getting ready to install mine too:D
BTW, anyone else installed one of these?
Where did you put it? :smash:

I ended up coming in on the driver's side above the pedals and running the wires under the dash.

In drilled a hole, but I just looked at your sig. The 91 and up has a different dash and the area I drilled through has some big funky computer thing there.

Check the unit out and make sure it works before you go through a lot of trouble making the routing look pretty. Makes it easier to return it and get another one if there is a problem with it.

There is a hole there. If you remove your battery you'll be able to see it better. I have run my N20 power lines and my amp (stereo) power lines threw that hole. Just look closely!
Good luck.

Re: Running wires through firewall question (cprgmr)
Yes I did try out the NMM and mine only partially worked. You will still need to hook all the wires up to check it for the most part, but I would not spend a lot of time routing wires and such until you found out your unit works 100%. On mine, the retard and pressure safety worked. The rest did not. I spoke with 3 people at Jacob's tech and none of them could help me. They refered me to email their top tech, but I received no response and sent my NMM back to Summit and gave them the option of sending me one that worked or a refund. They gave me a prompt refund. I personally find Jacob's products junk and you will not find me ordering anything manufactured from that company again (especially when their tech's say "Wow, we have never had one come back"...utter BS).
