I'm thinking about putting nitrous in my car but i really want to keep it hidden. I already know where I am going to hide my bottle but I am curious to see how you guys are hiding the switches. I'm going to have an arming switch, purge, and remote bottle opener to hide as well as maybe a pressure gauge. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks 1fastrock

i don't run NOS on any of my cars b/c i think it removes your *****. best race is motor to motor.

However, i saw in a pic on here few days ago that he hid the switch and toggle inside the ashtray and stil had the lid that slides over top. seemed pretty good idea

I didn't see you mention anything about a blow-off line for your bottle
Don't forget to add one to vent your bottle outside the car in case it does blow off

I saw someone post pics of there nitrous setup awhile ago. I think they actually hid the bottle behind the headlight, and the switches, solenoids etc. were hidden under the intake in front of the radiator on the air deflector. I'm not sure if it was posted on TGO or not though. As I've looked all over, I also have tried looking on other camaro forums too but I can't find it.

Yeah I've been looking too but the only thing i have found is hiding them in the ashtray. I put a mega shifter in and got rid of the ashtray area so that one won't work for me. Any more ideas or pictures???

You could use the horn button if you wanted i guess not sure but would be dang cool

using the horn botton is the way we have been doing it for a long time.
just use the Micro swithch, to let it work only at WOT.

the blow down tube is for track rules only,
if you dont want to use one for the street , then dont.

nothing like adding 200 HP on top of 500hp.

been using NOS for over 20 years. and beating alot of motor only Guys.
I use it for a 4th gear after going into 3rd. (if i have to)
most of the time i dont even open the bottles, the guys who get beat, Just say it was the NOS...LOL

after all racing is all about winning, super charger/ NOS.
if you snivle about getting Beat by the Guy who has it,
Go Buy a better eng, and see if you can beat the guys who use it!! 2nd place Sucks!

But My self, I dont Hide anything. "runn what you broung"
dont snivle if ya get Beat! it's all about Fun. and how much money you spend!! 11.s with out NOS. ? with, race and see

Nitrous Outlet sells a switch plate that drops right into the ashtray on a Camaro and allows you to close the lid so no one can see them. Fits great in a Camaro. Not so great in a Firebird. But it comes with switches for the opener, heater, purge, and arming the solenoids.

I used my windshield washer switch for my purge and the system activation switch and bottle heater switches were blank toggles on the lower right side of the cluster. Bottle was in the spare tire well. I didn't want to mount it on the back deck or on the driveshaft tunnel in the back seat didn't want the bottle in plain sight of a cop if I were to get pulled and I had 2 tens in the trunk well. I didn't have any dead give away that I had nitrous, I wasn't trying to hide it either.

To the nitrous removes your ***** guy. I have had a few people say to me, nitrous is for ******* or its cheating blah blah, after I have blown the doors of their car. You don't like nitrous, that's fine dont run it, but don't cry when you lose to a car with a driver that has the testicular fortitude to use it.

I run nitrous and I love it, I can cruise around without a whine or blowoff valve, I don't need to tune for boost, and I get the economy of all motor, but then when your dumb idiot brother pulls up next to you in his kenny bell cobra, you can waste him with your little 355 small block! Nitrous is great because you only use it when you need the power, the rest of the time, you enjoy your 28 mpg on the highway and cruise to South Carolina without any hiccups.

I like the bottle location. I want to move mine to there and add another.
Also anyone who bad mouths spray has never had it or had it working properly.

the cars name is Bottle Fed.
did a bit of playing with the photo, the 427 emblem is / will be a tad bit smaller. and GM

CamKid1992

didnt look but someone might of said this. the bottle can be put where your spare tire goes and the switches look kick *** in the ash tray compartment!

lol don't hate. NOS most of the times just makes **** too easy and any1 w/ nos can beat motor ( most of the time ).
-
i prefer the old school motor to motor, you aint relying on a bottle your relying on reaction time, how your car is built and set up. Any body can put in a bottle and beat a motor. It's truely beast when a motor can out perform a car w/ a bottle, not to mention the satisfaction of having a good clean race where your neck and neck all the way down and you win by tenths or hundreths.
-
and in response to articwhite's comment racing aint always about winning you aint no Ricky Bobby, hell it's nice to win but that shouldn't be the main reason you race, it should be about the thrill of being behind the wheel and the rush when you're goin down the track - the love of the sport.

^^^ saying that "nos" is easy is 100% wrong. I don't have a single bottle sprayed yet and i've been working on it for ~month. i give huge kudos to those that have thier tune right on and actually know what they're doing, and it's not that cheap either.

Remember "nos" (say nitrous or n2o, people take you serious then) is a power adder just like a turbo or charger

we'd get along pretty well. nitrous is a beautiful thing....i got lucky with my kit and the out of the box jetting was close enough not to worry about it. its just a whole different way of doing things. some guys like nitrous, some like just building a motor....but building a small block that makes 700+ horses on its own isn't real easy on a budget, but 500 horses and 200 or so in spray...that's a ton easier on the wallet....unless you make some tuning mistakes.

tuning with nitrous is no dark art......and trust me i used to be an "all motor" guy..............get in something with a baby bottle in it and you'll be HOOKED. i'm already thinking about adding a 2nd stage to my iroc

My nitrous bottle is behind the back seat, but I have a rear shade cover so you can't see it thru the tinted glass.
My purge switch is on the rear defrost switch.
My nitrous activation switch is my fog light switch.

The only thing you may see is my purge tube which is between my windshield and hood.

I made a custom plate to fit my nitrous switches on my 4th gen center console, but before then, I was thinking of using the cruise control stalk for the nitrous. Cruise control "on" to arm the system. Cruise control "set" to purge. I'm also using a microswitch to engage...

and for the few who dont want to Hide any thing

buttons every place, got to love buttons. line lock, and Nos on the shift T handle
GOING to move the the switchs and buttons to the A/C Vent above. and bring all the Guages in there place so it's 3 on 3.. thinking it will look better.





with the Lingenfelter 427 tags on the Hood, and the NOS Bottles in the back it's hard to Hide anything.

12.3 to 1 427.. (not a BACK YARD over bore 400)..LOL

Do you have fuel lines going into the cabin of the car? that is a big no no.

84firebird383

Articwhitez, your car rocks!

89ROC-Z

iTrader: (7)

idk what the difference is...if you got 2 15 lbs bottles in the cabin

all4u

There is a difference is, fuel is flammable, nitrous isn't. It is a given that it is dangerous to have the fuel line for the gauge in the cabin of the car. Nitrous on the other hand is not flammable, so it is consider "less dangerous" although, it is under some high pressure and if the bottle blew apart, you would have pieces of bottle flying around in the car.

articwhiteZ

iTrader: (56)

No fuel lines inside the Car Guys, it just takes money to do things right.

articwhiteZ

iTrader: (56)

it's OK to Have the Bottles inside the car,and (within reach of the drive)
it's the blow down tubes you need to Vent out side the car,

but with a good NOS Guage, and keeping a eye on it, you will never see the Blow down tubes used.

Been running NOS for over 20+ years.. it's Fun to see alot of Guys say no way ill never use that eng EATTING stuff...LOL

AND: there 2, 10LB bottles, 2 of 6..never know when you need More NOS! on a Sat Night.
