I really want to run a smaller shot, around 50-75 hp just for kicks for a couple track runs a year. But i use the car as a daily driver and I do all my installs with everything hidden. The interior is brand new and I don't want a huge nos bottle sticking out on the rear deck. So my questions is, do they man. a 5lb or so bottle. I really wanted something I could hide in the compartment we have back on the drivers side. If anyone has seen this please send me a link. I have seen the little sneeky pete system, but that is ridiculously small. I think a 5lb bottle would fit fine. Has anyone managed to cram a 10lb'er in there??? Pics of your setups would be awesome.... Thanks fellas

Several ppl have mounted 10lb bottles in the spare tire well. Just do a search.

 

Not the spare tire well, on the other side. I like having the spare around...

 

You could do anything you want, but a 5 lb bottle is not going to last very long at all...

Here is a Nitrous Express 2.5 LB:

 

As the bottle size gets smaller you get much less usable N2O volume because the N2O isn’t really useable after it drops below a certain pressure. If your setup gets 15passes on a 15lb bottle you’ll probably get about 9 on a 10lb, and maybe 3 on a 5lb. 3 5lb bottles will be good for fewer passes then a single 15.

FWIW, I’ve managed to wedge a 15lb bottle in behind the trim panel, in the spare tire well on my ’83 TA, ’87 Formula and ’97 TA… In all three cases I made a custom bracket that bolted to the spare tire mount so it didn’t rattle or touch the sheet metal or plastic…

 

i believe if you take out the little cardboard back to that side, you will find theres a bit more room on the drivers side... since you obviously want to keep the spare.


i would think a 10lb bottle would fit in there....... perhaps not thru the lil door, but if you dont mind removing the trim piece to get it in and out........

 

That 2.5lb bottle is a trip. Yes I think 10lb'r might fit. thanks for the help fellas
