WHAT IS NITROUS OXIDE? Nitrous Oxide is a cryogenic gas composed of nitrogen and oxygen molecules. It is stored as a “gas over a liquid” which means that both liquid and gaseous nitrous oxide is delivered into your engine. It is 36% oxygen by weight, which is what produces the added horsepower. By injecting more oxygen (and a corresponding fuel signal), we create the additional power much like a supercharger or a turbocharger does. Nitrous Oxide is considered an “oxidizer” and not a fuel. Nitrou

2.0 Nitrous System Installation 2.1 Nitrous Bottle Mounting The nitrous oxide storage cylinder is typically called a “nitrous bottle”. It is an aluminum cylinder, designed and manufactured to withstand very high pressures. The valve on top of the bottle is a high-flow design that allows easy opening and closing which controls the nitrous flow to the engine compartment. Accurate calibration of your nitrous system depends on the bottle remaining at a stable temperature. In vehicles (such as wagons

2.2 Bottle Orientation Accurate calibration of your nitrous system depends on the bottle remaining at a stable temperature. Choosing the proper location and orientation for your bottle can greatly affect the overall operation of the nitrous system. Please read the entire bottle mounting instruction section before making your final bottle location decisions. Bottle placement is critical to the performance of your nitrous system. It is important to understand how the bottle valve and siphon tube a

2.3 Nitrous Bottle Installation After you have determined the location and orientation of the nitrous bottle, use the following procedure to install the bottle: 2.3.1 Street Car Installations 1. Disconnect vehicle’s battery. 2. Determine the location of the bottle within the confines of the rear of the vehicle. 3. Once a mounting location has been determined, raise the vehicle (following all safety practices involved in working on a vehicle from under the vehicle) and verify that there are no fu

2.4 Nitrous Feed Line Mounting 1. Determine the route your main nitrous feed line will follow. Ensure the path does not route the nitrous feed line too close to the exhaust system, suspension, electrical lines/components or tires. 2. Attach nitrous supply line to bottle. 3. Feed nitrous line along proposed route. 4. Secure nitrous supply line to underside of vehicle. Note: Stainless steel covering of the main nitrous feed line is very abrasive. Shield painted components or sensitive system comp

2.5.1 Nitrous Solenoid Mounting and Installation 1. Hold the nitrous solenoid securely (such as in a bench vise) being careful not to harm the solenoid or block the inlet or outlet of the solenoid. 2. Install nitrous filter fitting (Blue fitting 4AN X 1/8NPT) using liquid Teflon paste in the inlet port of the nitrous solenoid. Apply liquid Teflon paste to nitrous filter fitting. Install nitrous filter fitting to inlet port of the N O solenoid. 2 3. Install the blue 3AN X 1/8NPT fitting using li

2.6 Nozzle Installation (Continuation)... 7. Using liquid Teflon, install the nozzle into the mounting collar. 8. Be sure the nozzle discharge is facing towards the throttle body. 9. Install the correct jets into the fuel and nitrous inlet fittings of the nozzle. Please refer to the Section 1.2 Jet Map Information to determine the correct nitrous and fuel jets to install into the nozzle. 10. Install the 3AN lines from the solenoid outlet fittings to their corresponding spray nozzle jet fittings

2.7 Fuel Line Installation Before performing any of these steps, relieve the fuel pressure in the vehicle’s fuel system. Rubber Fuel Line Fuel Supply Installation Before performing any of these steps, relieve the fuel pressure in the vehicle’s fuel system. 1. After relieving all pressure, locate the place in the fuel feed line that you intend to intersect, making sure that it is within a reasonable reach of the fuel solenoid. 2. Cut the fuel line at the desired location, being sure that you cut

3.3 Nitrous Electrical System Installation Procedures Determine the location of the relay and fuse holder wire harness. Most common installations locate these components inside the driver’s compartment and close to the fuse panel under the dash. You can also mount the relay and ruse holder harness close to the battery. However, these connectors are water-resistant not waterproof, so care is required when mounting this assembly under the hood of your vehicle. Wire Schematic Origin and Destination

3.5 Arming Switch and Installation The arming switch is a red, lighted switch that is a “MASTER” arming switch for your nitrous system. Without it, your nitrous system would be “on” all of the time and capable of engaging anytime you go to wide-open throttle conditions with your vehicle. The switch, when in the “armed” position, is well lit. Therefore, it should be placed in an obvious position well within the line of sight and easy reach of the driver. Please refer to the procedures below for t

3.6 Microswitch Installation and Wiring (continuation)... The bolts used to attach the microswitch have extra length to allow for spacing the microswitch away from the bracket to offer a level of adjustability of the microswitch. After determining the position of the microswitch, we recommend trimming the bolts for a clean installation. Due to the wide variety of throttle linkage combinations in use, it is impossible to supply a microswitch bracket custom tailored to each application. The univer
