All right, so I've decided to go the cheap way for all that extra horsepower. Basically my car has a good amount of miles on it, has no resale value, and right now I just want to run it with a crapload of power until the motor detonates or I get some real cash, in either case prompting me to get a cobra motor with a Kenne Bell.

The only problem is: I don't want anyone to know it's there.

First off I've decided to run a wet shot, with steel lines and at least a WOT switch and a regular switch. That being said, I'm still thinking about placement and what exactly to run.

I figure I'll get cheater solenoids and hide them behind the engine, paint them and the lines matte black, and run the line up under my intake tube right in front of the TB, or get a cheater plate.

Now, my questions:

1. Where does the cheater plate mount to? It looks like it'd fit between the TB and plenum, but I dunno.

2. Aside from what comes in these "kits" I see around here, what else is needed for "safely" running a nitrous oxide system?

3. Around what shot should I do for a good boost of energy without utterly destroying the engine? I understand it'll wear the engine out over time, but being I'm replacing it anyways in a year or two-ish, I want something that will hopefully keep the motor alive until then.

4. Is a tune required for a wet shot? If so, I have a diablosport predator... would I be able to get a map from a professional and sent to my tuner so I can load it when I plan on running the nitrous?

5. Bottle placement. I'm planning on a 10 lb bottle, but I can go smaller if I find a great place to put it. I want it hidden if at all possible, but at least inconspicuous. However it must be inside the cabin within arm's reach so I can turn it on without getting out of the car. I was thinking about possibly cutting out the foam under the rear seat behind the passenger (least used seat) and putting it there, while cutting a hole in the front right below the seat to fit the nozzle through.

Give me your thoughts I want to do this right, not half ass it, and I will be installing the whole thing with a seasoned tech that does this kind of stuff. Just need some info from the community so I can start with my lil project

Thanks fellas.

I did a lot of research on this when I was looking to do my set up and this is what I got.

Nitrous Express plate kit
Nitrous Express Gen-X2 kit
MSD window switch
arming switch
fuel pressure gauge
air/ratio guage

I am running a 100 shot and my #'s are in my sig.

I am also planning on adding a nitrous pressure gauge for inside the cabin.

let me know if you have anymore questions.

engine detonating doesnt mean blowing up jusy FYI

and just get a WOT switch and you'll be fine, the more shit you have the eaiser itll be to spot

IMO the zex set up is the safest and easiest to hide. all monitoring (wot, pressures) is done in the box, plus you can put it anywhere. that is what we did on my buddys car and you can not see anything. i have a nos 15lb bottle in the trunk, the solenoids are behind the plenum. i ran with a n/x plate that goes under the plenum, thinking about covering the lines to hide them. a bottle heater is highly recommended (needs to be 900-1050 psi) for best performance, a window switch and purge is also highly recomnmended. a smaller bottle will lose pressure fast especialy if running a big shot. a tune is good to do but not absolutly a must, be sure to change plugs also. if you take your time you will be able to hide everything you want.

Thanks fellas I've decided on a single fogger wet system (that way I can hide it under the intake tube) with cheater solenoids, and running a 125 shot. I'm either going with a Zex or Dyno Tune set up with a 10 lb bottle, and I'm getting NGK TR-6 plugs. Also gonna map my first few runs and change timing advance as necessary
