Another Nitrous Install (Pics)
Finally installed the NX system on baby. Thought some might want to see yet another set of install pics. This is the same system I had on my silver '97. I cleaned up the underhood install quite a bit taking info and pics I've got from here on the forum. All that is left is a timing retard device. Info on the system:
100 shot wet, remote bottle opener, heater, purge, dual Autometer gauge setup. I'm using an Autometer air/fuel ratio gauge to help as an indicator to solenoid failure (God forbid).

Re: Another Nitrous Install (MikeyD)
I'm in the market for a temporary NX system (until my wife lets me lay the $10K for a blower in 6 months) and was wondering if you took pics as you progressed with the install. I'm not much of a wrench kinda guy, and Andy at A&A said he doesn't usually do NoS....but that he would as I'm local.
So if I can save the bucks and have my mechanic do it pics/instructions sure would come in handy
Thanks and it looks sweet!

Re: Another Nitrous Install (MikeyD)
Very nice! I'm curious exactly how you mounted the nozzle to the coupler. Is there any bracing behind it or did you just drill a hole in the silicone and mount it there? I'm having issues where mine is mounted (in the IAT bung) and this seems like a good place. TIA.

Looks good Mike, subtle inmprovements over the last system. Notice any higher engine temps with all the dress up stainless items?

Thanks JoeyG. No noticable difference in operating temp with the cool-flex radiator hose. Some argue that theoritically it should operate cooler because of the copper being an excellent conductor of heat but the other side argues the ribbed design would disrupt coolant flow thus would run hotter but like I said, I haven't noticed in difference but then again, I haven't ran it much yet like on long roadtrips on the highway.

Re: Another Nitrous Install (HAYABUSA1)
shouldn't that bottle heater be wrapped along the bottom of the bottle or does it go all the way around?
