Yes it does

 

I had N2o on my 88 Vette. It was hidden out like this:

The bottle in the rear storage area with the storage shade pulled over it and my jacket over the bottle.

The hose ran down the passenger side (inside the passenger compartment) out thru the passenger door seal (that all the wires pass thru) I just had to poke a hole in it big enough for the hose to fit thru.

The best part is the solenoids. If you look closely at your stock A.I.R. diverter valve (its a black switchbox with a few 1 5/8 hoses going into it) you can remove the cover from it. Get an exra one out of a boneyard and mount the solenoid tight next to the FPR on the passenger side. Use the black cover to hide the solenoids.

Now run the feed hose under the plenum to in front of the throttle body and into the duct. Make sure to cover ALL the hoses in SPLIT LOOM (conduit for wiring).

Now for the arming switch. Modify the cigarette lighter so that when you push it in, its armed.

For a trigger I hid a female part of a wiring connector under the dash on the drivers side. The male part goes to a remote trigger switch. You plug it in when you pulling up to the staging lights and your opponent will never see a microswitch on the TB or a button anywhere out of the ordinary.

Wish I took pics....

I have it on my '89 and I cut the bottom out of a gym bag, stiffened up the sides of the bag and just place it over the bottle. I arm it using the driving light switch. Under the hood you can see mine but I like your ideas and am taking notes.

On topic, yes it will fit, there are a few guys here locally hiding them in there.

Mine is in the spare well, but I would not say I am hiding it even though it is out of site. Run what you brung BABY!

 

I took my drivers side back seat out, and put it there, I had the T tops off at night and no one even noticed, they are so overwhelmed about lookin in the trunk, they dont even Eye the backseat!!!!! If your gonna streetrace thats the first place there gonna want to look!!!!!

 

I ran a Dodge Ram pickup a year or so ago and his bottle was mounted in the engine compartment, up by the passenger headlight. I was suprised it did not get to hot. At running temp, the bottle was between 900 and 1000 psi.

A friend of mine had an Eagle Talon TSi and he had a nitrous kit on it. He bolted it to the rear floor and then modified a gym bag to fit over it. He hid all the lines under the hood with the black split wire loom and hid the solenoids. Never even knew it was there. Until he purged.

alright, I never told anyone but I'd love to help a camaro out.

what I have is the top gun wet kit wich is hard to hide.

-I put my battery in storage on the left side trunk. My bottle on the right side.
Run the line under the carpet through the fender and out the front fender.
-There I have a dummy duralast battery (Hollow)which I got from autozone when I work the there. This is were I hide my solonoids. From there I run nitrous line through the bottom of the battery and through the airduct and point it torward the trottle body.
-Here's the tricky part(gas line).......
I run a line from my check valve on my fuel rails through the fire wall to a fuel gauge. From there tee it off (under the fire wall were they will never see it) and run the gas line from in the fire wall out into the driver fender. back around to the air duct to where the spray nozzle rest.
-not one part of it is visible this way.
-the wet kit is a hell lot harder to hide because of the gas line. but I don't trust a dry kit.
happy hiding!!!!!!!!!!

 

Great Idea on the Fuel line rigg, looks like these ford guys are somewhat smart

 

I'd be extremely wary of running any type of fuel line inside the passenger compartment. Even with good braided hoses, a loose connection or crash damage could cause a disasterous result. There is a reason they call it a firewall !!

 

I know this is probably not the point, but why try to hide it. any more this is not a cheaters way of making power. this is a fact of life.

if you are doing it to sand bag, consider this, It will only last for soo long. once you beat Johny & every one knows how fast Johny is, the cat is out of the bag.

my2c, put the card on the table. If you are trying to be tricky, just flat out lie & say that is is only a 50 shot. if not put your hammer out there for everyone to see, if they want to measure up, let'm. if not take it elsewhere. As P.T. Barnum, said "there is a sucker born every day".

I have dual 3" exhaust with turn downs, no matter where I mount the bottle, I cannot hide the sound when I hit the button! There are just some things people are going to know.

The best way to hide you bottle is to take one of those crappy metal toolboxes and cut the bottom off and slip it over the bottle. I don't know about you, but I think a toolbox looks more like it should be there as opposed to a gym bag.

I'm gonna agree with Bobalos...I think my bottle looks cool here, but it's also because I couldn't put it anywhere else...

amps on the rear deck, sub tube in the well, battery in the spare tire compartment, no room in drivers side box and rear seats still there...
