Okay, Nitrous install question.
Almost ready to pull the trigger and order a kit to hold me over until I decide that I can convince the wife to let me spend some real money.......
Question is, where are you guys installing the bottle on coupes? Will a 10 pound bottle fit inside the middle storage compartment?
Any pics? The search is being less than helpful, as usual.
Thanks alot guys,
-Tony

Like ICU stated, the 10lb bottle and opener (make sure you get one!) fits just right in the compartment, keeping it hidden from prying eyes.
One bit of warning; once you spray, you will be HOOKED!! :eek:

Re: Okay, Nitrous install question. (BOTTLE FED)
Thanks for the advice, I'm working out my system details with ICU.
I'm an old nitrous user, I had a very primitive wet system on my 1988 Mustang GT when it was new. Since my friend just got his shop open and a nitrous refill station..... heh heh heh... ;)

Re: Okay, Nitrous install question. (mikes99corvette)
I just started mounting my 10# bottle in the area above and it seems I am running into some constraints. With the bottom bracket off and the top bracket all the way to the top of the bottle the bottle hits the support bar on the carpeted cover. To even get this far I had to re-position the siphon tube so it was at the bottom of the bottle near the back when the valve was level with the blow down pointing down and the output pointing forward. I can't rotate the gauge up or it would be the highest point. I don't see how you guys are doing it, especially with the NX or ZEX type opener! :confused:
