Default NX install pics...

I decided to revamp my NX installation hardware. Thanks to C5Noir:D for selling me the TNT mounting bracket that I modified.

I know that heat is not very good to solenoids which is why I mounted the fuel solenoid(the one you don't want to fail) on the outside or away from the engine.




NO HIDING THAT!!! :lol:

I like the bracket C5. Can you tell us how you made that? :confused: I really need to get my solenoids farther away from the engine as well.

That is the standard TNT bracket that is used on their system. Not sure if you can buy that piece by itself or not. You can have one made pretty easily out of stainless or aluminum at a machine shop.

The bracket uses (2)12mm x 1/2inch bolts which screw into the empty intake threaded holes. I picked up to alan head bolts at home depot.

I did have a very stealth install(just thought it looked cleaner), but it was tucked in too close to the engine. It was pretty hot at the previous location which is why I decided to move it. It is harder than it looks to find a great location! :cheers:

Nice. I prefer the stealth install though. That way no one will know. I don't know. We did a stealth instill on a friends stang and you never knew it was there, but it was a PIA. If I could ever talk my dad into it, I'd probably go ahead with the stealth install. It just looks clean.

Here's a prior post to all my recent nitrous handy work: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zerothread?id=420376
That is alot of work! Unlike you I am running an aluminum 388 All-Bore so I am limiting my shot to 150 max(on high octane). I would not feel safe with anything more than that. I figure that will put me over 700 crank hp which should definately get me square in the 10's(all I want). I cannot run skinnies up front due to my big brakes so my 60 ft. will best around 1.6-1.7.

When do you think you will get some track #'s? :cheers:
