Re: engine bay shot with juice (1996man)
If I had a photo of it hidden you could not see it. :skep:
The systems that I have "not seen" have been dry and the lines are under and inside the intake plenum. Everything else is hidden wherever (wheel wells, under car, tanks in the spare tire compartment - dangerous etc.). Not much room in the Corvette. Camero's have a better chance of hidding.
Once you spray it is not a secret anyway. :thumbs:

I have one inconspicuous setup and one obvoious setup. If you know nitrous you would see the "hidden" one, but a general glance, will leave it unnoticed except for the bottle in the back.

Re: engine bay shot with juice (fiberglasscoffin)
A west kit is hard to hide. The best way would be to use a shark nozzle plumbed into the bottom of the intake tract. Then use black wire loom to cover the lines.
During an N20 blast, the exhaust has a faint (yet distinct) slightly different odor. Anyone arouund racing for any length of time will be able to smell it. You might be able to circumvent that with medical grade N20 though, as it is the sulfur that smells.

Re: engine bay shot with juice (zelement)
Zelement,
Did you powdercoat the supercharger (Vortech, I think), or is that paint.
I have a D2R that I am considering "breaking down" and powdercoating black. I dislike polished aluminum and chrome. I like the flat black look. Others have said that they have ruined a sc case by powdercoating, but that may just be talk.
Thanks,
Aaron

Re: engine bay shot with juice (AKS Racing)
Aaron,
The charger is painted. I didn't do it, the shop that put everthing together painted it.
I saw him do it, he had to take it apart and paint it then put it back together.

Re: engine bay shot with juice (BrianCunningham)
WOW! thanks for all the resonses! For those of you with the NOS lines laying on top of the intake manifold, would it be possible to run those lines next to the fuel rails so they can all be under the fuel rail covers?

Re: engine bay shot with juice (1996man)
I'm sure it's possible with some creative plumbing. I personally don't like the fuel rail covers. I like to see all of the intake manifold and the rest of the "stuff".

Re: engine bay shot with juice (fsr402)
The TNT kits looks totally superfluous with all those lines and 45* nozzles out the top of the plate like that....
Almost as superfluous as me using the word superfluous instead of just saying, There to much crap on top of the motor with the TNT.. It seems pointless to me, I would like to have it on the side so Its not in my way all the time.
Just my thoughts. (Im bored right now)

Re: engine bay shot with juice (1996man)
Non of the pictures posted here are dry kits. The only dry kit pictured is the sneaky pete system.
If you look at the picture where the nozzles are drilled into the intake.
The BLUE fitting = nitrous
The RED fitting = fuel
