Installing nitrous tomorrow

1BADSTANG · July 18th, 2008, 07:39 PM

Yay this is fun i got the fuel pump, the zex wet kit, the bottle pressure gauge, zex bottle warmer, and purge kit. The only thing is, i heard you have to keep the bottle at 900 psi, is it hard to do that? Do i have to constantly look back at the bottle and make sure its at 900psi? How will i know when to purge and what not?

The kit is pretty, shiny purple, all stainless braided lines, im excited for the 100 foot pound torque increase with just a 75 shot, and when i get the balls for the 125 shot it will be excellent.

You may want to invest in a bottle warmer to keep the pressure in check. If you dont want to constantly look back at the bottle mounted guage get an Autometer guage to mount up front on your dash or in a pod. You purge before you spray to clear the lines of air.

I have a bottle warmer and a purge kit, but will the bottle warmer overheat it? or does it know when to stop?

95opal · July 18th, 2008, 07:53 PM

What warmer do you have? A temperature controled unit or pressure controled unit? If temp controled unit then you will have to turn it off.

Zex Nitrous Bottle Heater

so that means what do i just have it linked to the arming switch?

flattusmaximus78 · July 18th, 2008, 08:20 PM

It's not a tough as you think. Leave the warmer on for 10 to 15 minutes and it'll be good to go. You really can't overheat it. More psi the better, but not much over 1000 KABOOM

86_Notch · July 18th, 2008, 10:12 PM

small torch works faster then a bottle heater and won't drain your battery

Damaso · July 18th, 2008, 10:16 PM

I could be wrong but don't they come with thermostats on the bottle warmers

1BADSTANG · July 18th, 2008, 11:06 PM

okay so i guess im good with that, Another thing is, i have a ttaylor battery reolcation in the rear hatch, and its as far back as you can go without interfering with the glass of the hatch, the gas tank was removed to install it. But what i mean is, where is it safe to drill for the nitrous? the adjacent of the right rear hatch? can i just put the bottle in the back left and not worry about hitting shit? let me know, thanks a lot!

86_Notch · July 18th, 2008, 11:23 PM

its only 3 bolts to drop the tank, 2 for the straps and 1 little one that holds the filler neck, it's much easier in the long run then trying to get bolts up thru the floor with the tank inplace. OR you could do like i've done a few times in the past and mount it sideways between the drivers ( or passengers ) seat and back seat

1BADSTANG · July 18th, 2008, 11:46 PM

yeah but i already have the battery box there, it wouldn't even fit really there and look neat. I think i will take your advice and put it behind the passenger seat. thanks.

1BADSTANG · July 18th, 2008, 11:49 PM

where exactley do i tap the fuel from?

86_Notch · July 18th, 2008, 11:58 PM

schrader valve, on the metal fuel lines on the passengers side, near the alternator

1BADSTANG · July 19th, 2008, 12:01 AM

Do i put a t fitting in their? or tap into it? thanks for your time btw

86_Notch · July 19th, 2008, 09:20 AM

your nitrous kit should come with a fitting and instructions, basically you unscrew the schrader valve and thread the new one in, be careful NOT to overtighten it or it will break ( speaking from experience )

1BADSTANG · July 19th, 2008, 10:42 AM

should i use like a teflon paste or tape?

86_Notch · July 19th, 2008, 10:44 AM

paste , don't use tape

1BADSTANG · July 19th, 2008, 11:27 AM

how tight do i go? a little oomph after it wont turn easily anymore?

86_Notch · July 19th, 2008, 11:45 AM

just snug it, once everything's installed you can turn the key on ( don't start the car ) and check for leaks

1BADSTANG · July 20th, 2008, 04:56 PM

Oh i have one more question, to get the psi gauge in my car what do i buy? Is there a kit? just the psi, i have fuel and oil gauges in my cowl. I want it do be like no bigger than a couple inches. Does it T off of the nitrous bottle out? Like a T and then a line and you put it whereever you want? I dont have a lot of money left so i hope to find something for under 100 that will suffice. Even if its used..
