Default Nitrous install progress w/ Pics!

Well, my second day now with a total of about 3.5 hours involved to date. It's not hard at all just very tedious making sure all your wires are going to the proper locations. Below are some pics of my fogger install, ground point, TPS and Tach PIN Taps, let me know if they look secure and will provide a good connection!
Here they are:





Let me know what ya'll think and any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Looks like a nice clean install you got goin' there.

I've never installed N20 before but it looks like you are taking your time and doing things right.

For those who have nitrous installed, do the taps make a secure enough connection? Thanks.

You're really making good progress on the job Levi. The fogger placement is gonna work nice. It's looking really good!

I've got a couple suggestions for ya. You should look into covering the nitrous line with something to keep it from rubbing the insulation off of the wires where ever they meet, like behind the battery. Also, I'd keep an eye on the Scotch Lock connectors(the blue ones). I just would'nt use them for the heater wiring...to much current.

I'm looking forward to your impressions after the first hit :yesnod:

:cheers:

Thanks, C5Cemo. I am going to cover the nitrous line with some split loom tubing after I had it all positioned and squared away :D. I did run a heater ground just for it as well, I dunno if I stated it prior or not :D.

BTW, C5Cemo, did you route your nitrous line over the radiator/condensor? If not, which way did you go? thanks.

It looks to me like you have the fogger pointed sideways. Wouldn't you want it to point at the MAF or will the engine suck it in?

I gotcha bro. :yesnod:

I ran the line on the bottom side of the radiator...it really depends where you wanna stick the solenoid. If you're gonna put it in the same spot then the bottom is prolly best.

99- Since he's spraying so far from the MAS, he could have the fogger shooting straight up the intake but it should'nt make any difference in performance. At least from the testing I've done/seen it doesn't make a difference if the fogger is 2-4" from the MAS. Although, if the fogger is pointing directly towards the MAS that close it'll freeze the sensors and put the car in limp mode...that's why I've tried a bunch of different angles. ;)

I think they do overall. However, I soldered mine and I suck at soldering BIG TIME!! hahah If I were to do it over again, I would have tapped and been done with it. :cheers:

Congrats on the install progress!!

Wrap your taps in electrical tape, you should have no problems.
