Default Purge Valve Setup

I saw 2 fast 2 furious this weekend. They had a skyline purging it's n20 and it looked SWEET!!! It was shooting up from the front wheels, one one each side.

This finally gave me the motivation to hook up mine. I've got it shooting out the "gills" behind the front wheels. I'm using normal vaccume hose and it seems to work ok. extensive testing should prove usefull though. $10 in parts and it was all hooked up :yesnod:

I'm going for the intimidation factor on the line, I'm sure the performance gain is minimal and it cost me $1.25 every time I do it. But every once in a while to show off is fun :cheers:

I guess I will have to change mine now. Mine shoots out in front of both front wheels.

I'll see what I can do for pics, but I'm out of N2O and I should be getting my stroker back this week, so I might be a little preoccupied with the install. But I'll definatly post a pic when I get the chance. :cheers:

I have one line that exits in the center of the hood through the cowling. I used a 1/8" coper line with fittings that run off a regular AN3 line from the solenoid. The copper works nice and can be bent to go through the opening in the wiper blade. Shoots high due to the small diameter tube. I think I use more gas purging than racing..
