Nitrous purge?
I am trying to figure out how to plumb my nitrous purge lines, how has everyone done this? There was nothing but a small tube with my NX sysyem and that is no good. Please help me find a way to purge my system!
Thank for all your help.

Re: Nitrous purge? (Green Monster)
The size (diameter) of the line really doesn't matter all that much, it just restricts how long it takes to purge. I've seen some guys with huge purge solenoids so they can get this huge purge cloud.. kind of a waste of nitrous but they like the looks.
Regarding location, it's pretty much whatever you want. Plumbing is the only issue if you want a really clean look like I would. On C5's, I've seen four different places: 1) Front fogs.. plumb both sides.. looks cool but difficult to see from drivers seat; 2) Straight down underhood .. for the stealthy install .. again, tough to see; 3) front fender "cowl vents".. looks cool when you vent from these and you can see it; and 4) Windshield.. come up from underneath the "tray" just below the wipers, spray the nitrous along the windshield.. I've seen lots of folks do this... very easy to tell the minute you get liquid...
Lots of choices.. let us see your finished product!
Best Regards

Re: Nitrous purge? (Green Monster)
I first tried a flexible rubber hose on the end of the short metal purge line to direct nitrous out of engine area, everytime I used it the rubber hose blew off :rolleyes: . So now I have that same rubber hose on the lenght of the metal line that comes in the kit, fitted the next larger diameter rubber hose on top of the first rubber hose with a hose clamp, then ran it outside the engine compartment (out the front) now this larger diameter hose can handle the purge.

Re: Nitrous purge? (Green Monster)
I just purge mine at the solenoid. I didn't feel like jacking with running the line after the long install of all the other goodies that I have on my system. Works fine.
