Guys, this might seem like a ridiculously noobish question but so far I have done little research into Nitrous because It's still a ways away from being done. I was wondering however can you mount the bottle anywhere, or does it have to be in the open for some reason? I tossed my spare tire and jack so the spare tire compartment is empty and I was thinking about hiding the bottle there for a sleeper install.

 

I am 95% sure there is no reason it should need to be in the open, should be able to put it wherever you like, as long as its not next to the engine or exhaust pipe or something silly like that. And I am pretty sure people have put them in the spare tire or rear glovebox area before.

 

just have to make certain the siphon tube is in the right location in the bottle

 

I have mine mounted in the spare tire well. Blowout tube is routed outside of the car.

 

Hope that sucker never hits the top terminals on the battery, yikes. Mine stands up in the spare tire spot with the blowdown tube exiting the bottom of the well.

 

The picture doesn't show but there's 1 inch clearance between the bottle and the terminal. The terminal cover in the pic was not on all the way. Since the pic was taken I've added rubber insulation just incase the bracket decides to give way.

 

Mins mounted wheir the rear seat pad was, right with in reach. ; ) no stupid bottle opener for me!

 

I have my battery in the same spot. I will mount my bottle in the same location. I'm glad you posted a picture because I would of been too lazy to try and make it fit. Now I know it's possible. Are you using a battery holder?

 

Yes I am using a battery tray kit from Autozone.

 

Really, is it the plastic black one, that costs $4.99? Do you have a picture without the bottle in place? I would like to see the mounting points for the brackets. Is your tray resting against that metal piece/bracket support?

I do not have a picture without the bottle in place. The tray is bolted the bracket on the bottom and I bolted one bottle holder to the spare tire bracket and the other to the rear bracket.

 

Here is what I did:

 

Hey PWDBYCHEVY snap a photo for me man...

UNKNOWN_HOST that's a good setup.

 

pwdbychevy, if you ever have your bottle out for refilling snap a photo of the mounting points for the brackets.


-Thanks

 

Thanks, looks like one of my links died so I will post some more pics

 

Ok, im gonna weigh my bottle tomorrow to see how much is left. Ill snap one then.

 

Here are the pics I promised ten years ago

 

HEY. I have some rubber pad this is peel and stick. on one side, it's about 1/8 inch thick. PM me your address ill send you a chunk. and you can install it on the Bottle. (if ya like)

I use it on the inside of My battery box.as a Just in case thing.
(alum batty box) this sealed box can also be made 3" shorter in Hight.

ALL FUEL INJECTED BLOWN THROTTLE, AND THE BOTTLE!

 

Thanks a lot!! I like how you grounded the battery to the Spare Tire Holder, ingenuity...
Is that Black Electric Tape I see on the Bottle Brackets? Appear's that one bracket only has one bolt holding it in place?

 

Yeah that's electrical tape. I had to modify the bracket to match the other one. The rubber coating melted off in the process of welding the bracket so I wrapped it in electrical tape for now. The front bracket is held on with one bolt. Very sturdy and the bottle doesn't move at all.

 

Why did you have to modify one bracket to match the other? Why was modification of the bracket necessary? I see the weld, but can't figure it out...

 

Thats because one bracket sits higher than the other and i needed them even so the bottle could fit in the tire well.

 

Ah Yes, Very True!!
