my nitrous install pics

heres my install. most of this was inspired by mr charles r. hill so thanx to him for his guidance...
ive had nitrous before ( 2002 civic ) and everything was exposed... i got in a lot of trouble for that. i really tried to hide EVERYTHING exept the bottle. (i would have hid the bottle right behind my rear strut tower bar but it didnt fit) hope u guys like wat u see.


this was the hardest part.. the new fuel line...

secret spot for the switch

this is the secret spot for the module

just the nitrous bottle in the trunk....

overview of the engine bay

Yeah thats what most people have being saying when they spray. But if you compared to another 8 side by side the difference is more than worthy.


Maybe an A/F gauge would help diagnose any problems?... but Im not sure. You should ask Charles.

where have u seen this?
and yes i plan on getting it to a dyno and check out the a/f...

i also forgot to mention that in order to make it so hidden u need 2 longer braided lines. i used 2 4' long 3an lines to route them behind the intake manifold, then i wraped them in the electric loom stuff with electrical tape so it looks just like stock

Nice install! If you get the chance, post some dyno numbers on and off the spray. Are you considering a nitrous pressure gauge, bottle warmer as well?

In chrism's video when he is using it he says something along those lines as did Charles when discussing how it was when on the bottle. A definite increase in performance but not push your head to the seat and vision goes blury.

I want to join the club with a setup like yours. There when you want it and hidden when inspected.

considering a gauge in the same spot as my switch, i still want to be able to close the little door. now the question is... which gauge???

Welcome to the club. Nice job on the install. Now we just have to wait for Ray to start experimenting with EMS+nitrous so we can throw in the 75, 100 shot jets! Im not brave enough to use my baby as the guinea pig, lol. Enjoy

Without being able to see where it is, my guess is the nozzle location is the problem. Jonesy did have to make a few passes before he started to see the gains he was expecting, though, so you may just need to make a few more passes yourself. Here's a step-by-step for diagnosis;

1) Make sure your nitrous tank is filled.
2) Be sure that none of your lines have kinks nor harsh twists in them.
3) Properly "teach" your module to activate at WOT.
4) Use only premium fuel from a top-name brand.
5) Make sure that your nozzle is not too close to the MAF sensor. The best spot is a couple inches in front of the throttle body, with a slight upturn so the plume will hit the center of the butterfly.

I am working on a deal wherein I will be the exclusive distributor of a couple products which will further enhance nitrous installs and help in the "stealth" department. I'll install them on my own set up first, take pics, and you guys can then see if you want them.

Now for some bragging(and Jones can attest to this); I don't take the UIM off to do the fuel line and I am not twig-skinny. Figure that one out........

i have no idea how u would do that one^

also how would i relocate the fogger if i already made a hole? we dont want a leak right?

i might have some tight bends right below the fogger.
the way i have it is 3 folds foward from the intake, its in the middle of the tube facing the throttle straight in. (sorry im very bad with explaining myself....)

Taj still has his Nitrous bottle loose in the trunk.

He never bolted it down.

Jeromie, I love how your gauge and switch are mounted. Did you do that yourself?

Hey Jeromine I tried taking the intake manifold off to get to the fuel line also ended up taking all the bolts off that i could see and no luck lifting it up. just really would make the install easier if i could grab that damn fuel line under the manifold

I think with it right over the exhaust it will stay pretty warm
