Default hidden nitrous system???? **pic request**

I was wondering if anyone has done a completely hidden nitrous system in their car and if you have any pics? I would like run nitrous but it would have to be almost undetectable to the average person, so Im wondering what some of you have done, to kind of give me some ideas.

If i hid mine i wouldnt tell anyone where it was
FYI the hardest part will be hiding the bottle and purge(sound). just use your imagination. under the radiator shroud with the nozzle coming through the airbox is very simple. if your still on the stock air lid you can even cut out the support beams inside that and mount the noids in there. pick up your kit and test fit where ever you feel it may work.

I've been toying with same idea for awhile. Checking out all the newest power adders.

Still, as Norwalk proved, NO2 is still King ... and not nearly as expensive as the ramair systems.

A stealthy juice system would be the bomb!

Give Nitrous Dave a call! He's got a setup called of all things, "The Money Maker" and even someone that knows N20 might miss it, so an average Joe would Never find it!

The Money Maker...............

I mainly want it for higher speed rolling stuff, for when your friends pesky supra wont go away and I dont want the power all the time since I would like to do some hpde with the car and need to learn how to drive it before adding a tone of hp.


how much can you safely spray on a 02 Z with the money maker kit?

Steve, head over to ls1tech under the nitrous section. There's tons of info there to get you started. Read the sticky "nitrous basics".
To answer your question... depends on how much "other things" you want to tend to. (boost pumps, tuning, etc) but 150 shot on a stock motor with stock tuning/fuel system is easy.

Default hidden spray

Hey, i spray a 225 shot and run 10's all day long with my completly stock ls1 with 120,000 miles on it now. That is with a wet 125 shot and 100 dry shot together !!. Stock fuel pump and injectors.
THE MONEYMAKER kit will give you huge gains. The 150 hp setting is like 150 - 175 at the wheels !!
I'm leaving in the a.m. for Honduras ( developing oceanfront property w/ bungalows ). But, if you need more help - i check the CF every 2 days.
Good luck

With the money maker kit your only worry will be where to hide the bottle and solenoids. Nitrous Dave knows his chit.

I agree ... their website doesn't give out much info on the MM Kit.

Probably for good reason

I think it is called the money maker because you pay for a nitrous kit and they send you a stock manifold.

keep searching for hiding spots..... there is a guy with a video of his bottle hidden behind the license plate. If you pull the rearlights/plate there is a lot of space there for a bottle. Another video is of a guy hiding dual 5lb bottles in the front fender area.

they can be hidden with a little creativity.

But also keep in mind that you have to pull it in and out of the hiding spot each time you want to fill the bottle.

Why hide it? It's one thing if a person knows what you have. It's another thing when it comes to actually beating what you have.. At the end of the day you have to go home knowing you misled someone into thinking they had the upper hand and you beat them by omission.

I personally like them knowing my complete setup. They just have to guess if I am on kill mode or not..

If you race for $ you dont want people knowing what you have.
My vette for example : stock outside, wagon wheels, magnaflow exhaust (quiet) and 225 shot of spray. The car sounds and looks all stock. Put some M/T's on back and i win $. Dont forget.. Racing for $ these days = mucho dinero !!
I like a car to look somewhat fast... yet, totally scream !!

Running for money is run what you brung in 95% of the cases. I have seen a few people get the beat down for lying about their setup on an agreed upon race. If you tell someone you are running NA vs their NA and you spray. You know what's coming next..
