Well, NX install is well on its way.

Here are a few photos of the install. How did those of you with your bottles mounted like mine route your nitrous supply line? Well next weekend the motor comes out and is getting rebuilt and a new cam, we'll see what happens.

nitrous

there is a plug at the bottom of your sparetire hole on the inner side knock it out notch the side of it just enough to pass the line out of it run your hose out through the hole and put the plug back in it run your line over your rearend to the drivers side making sure you don't get it pinched any where or where it is in danger of getting rubbed then run it along side your fuel lines to the engine bay . thats how i did mine or you could tear your sail panels and rocker panel out and route it inside the car..

Mine doesn't exit the car.


Bottle in passenger side fender. Line runs under the carpet, down the passenger side behind the plastics that are around the seatbelt. (Take the back seats out, makes it about 10x's easier)

Runs down the side, under the carpet & plastic trim molding by the door.

Then it goes up the passenger floor board out through the firewall below the AC/blower motor. I then run it straight over to the fender. It runs inside the fender to the radiator.

I have the solenoids hidden down under my intake element next to the radiator.


Can't see a THING.

Looks great man. My bottle is mounted on the hump between the rear seats. I ran my supply line under the carpet, along the rocker panel trim, and exited the passenger compartment through a grommet behind the kick panel. I placed the grommet beside the ECM wiring harness bulkhead behind the passenger side fender.

You might think about getting a remote bottle opener if you havent already. The bottle is difficult to open when it's hidden like that.

I mounted my solenoids on the accessory brackets where the smog pump used to be. The shorter the line from your solenoids to your nozzle, the better. My relay resides behind the passenger headlight, near the factory fan relay.

A custom aluminum cold air pipe is threaded for my nozzle. If you're using rubber ducting, NX sells a "nut" that works well to hold the nozzle in the flexible ducting.

Some worthwhile accessories to check into are: Dynotune digital pressure gauge. Electronic wide open throttle switch (mount this under your dash - tap into the TPS signal wire near the ecm plug.)

I always hate the cheesey & cheap (no offense) switches that come with the kits. Autozone is now carrying the "fighter jet" flip up switch as seen on F&F. It runs about $10 and is of very high quality.

As for heater and purge, a cool trick is to integrate them into your factory dash using factory switches for opions that your car didnt have. IE My foglight switch controls my heater and my factory momentary defrost switch controls my purge.

I hope any of this information is helpful. Good luck w/ your install!

Was just noticing you had a 10lb bottle...

You guys with the smaller bottles have a LOT more room..







My 15lb bottle tucked in there.
