FINALLY finished my Nitrous install: links
So I finally finished installing my Nitrous system. I ran all the wiring to the back of the car to a separate fuse box. Also used the NX switches in the ashtray area. These pix are huge as I'm still learning to post to my web site so dial up beware http://jeffhess.ipsinc.us/allunderhood.jpg http://jeffhess.ipsinc.us/allunderhood.jpg http://jeffhess.ipsinc.us/nosbottle.jpg http://jeffhess.ipsinc.us/indatrunkbottle.jpg http://jeffhess.ipsinc.us/gaugestuff.jpg http://jeffhess.ipsinc.us/underhoodstuff.jpg
BTW: Took my car to MMS to be Dyno Tuned before I "pushed the button", but I have a dead #1 cylinder at idle.... so the head is coming off now and if it turns out to be ugly I'll have Al build me a better toy.

Looks like a nice job but I think you have the bottle at the wrong angle as far as the pickup tube inside the bottle, the line should face down or you wont get full use of the juice, at least that is what I was told. check with someone else Im still new with this stuff :steering:

Is this a wet kit? If so why are you spraying so far from the throttle body?

Re: FINALLY finished my Nitrous install: links (jeffh355)
Very nice installation :yesnod:
The way you have your bottle is backwards for the direction it is mounted. The optimal mounting is front-to-back, but you have space limitations. With the side-to-side mounting, you should face the outlet (where the N2O comes out) toward the rear of the car. This way, the nozzle inside the bottle will be directed toward the back.
The tube inside the bottle actually angles down to the bottom and is biased to one side. The tube picks up nitrous from the bottom of the bottle on the same side of the outlet hose.
With your current mounting, as you accelerate, the tube may not get good pick-up as it is currently pointed toward the front of the car. Make sense? :D

For those of you e-mailing me: The mounts on the shroud that hold the solenoids and bottle brackets were custom made by a friend of mine out of a solid block of aluminum. As I accidentaly deleted your e-mails, please get back to me and I will forward your requests.
