Installation Tech Guide

Installing the Bottle
Accurately calibrating and tuning
your NOS nitrous system
depends on the bottle’s
temperature remaining stable.
Mount the bottle away from heat
sources, such as the engine
compartment or exhaust system,
and away from windows, where
the bottle is exposed to direct
sunlight.
|
|
|
|
|
|
In fastback-styled vehicles such as Camaros, Firebirds, 300ZXs, etc., it’s impractical to mount the
bottle away from direct sunlight. For cars such as these, the bottle should be covered or insulated
with an NOS bottle blanket or an equivalent.
|
|
|
The professionals at NOS recommend that the bottle be environmentally separated from the driver’
s compartment. Again, fastback vehicles do not have separate trunk compartments, so kits
designed for these cars include an external blow-down tube. The safety blow-down tube should be
mounted to the exterior of the vehicle (preferably under the vehicle). This procedure will prevent
filling the driver’s compartment with a cloud of nitrous oxide if, for any reason, the safety pressure
relief cap ruptures.
|
|
|
Bottle Orientation
Bottle placement is critical to the performance of your NOS nitrous system. It’s important to
understand how the bottle valve and siphon tube are assembled to properly orient the bottle in your
vehicle and ensure that it picks up liquid nitrous while undergoing acceleration. All NOS nitrous
bottles are assembled so that the bottom of the siphon tube is at the bottom of the bottle and
opposite the bottle label.
Whenever the bottle is mounted in a horizontal position, the valve handle must be toward the front
of the vehicle with the label facing up. If the bottle is mounted vertically, the valve handle and label
must face toward the front of the vehicle. This orientation will position the siphon tube at the back of
the bottle where the liquid N20 will be during acceleration. Do not attempt to remove the siphon
tube without completely emptying the bottle of all nitrous and pressure.
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
A bottle mounted upside-down must have the siphon
tube removed before use. Non-siphon bottles can be
specially ordered from NOS. If the bottle must be
mounted parallel to the axles of the vehicle
(sideways), the valve handle and label must be
angled at approximately 45° toward the front of the
vehicle. This orientation will position the siphon tube
toward the rear of the bottle.
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
When using a bottle with
a siphon tube, the tall
bracket should be at the
valve end of the bottle
and the short bracket at
the bottom. The most
efficient mounting is the
horizontal position with
the valve handle toward
the front of the vehicle.
This position allows the
greatest amount of liquid
to be used before the
siphon tube begins to
pick up gaseous nitrous
oxide.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bottle Placement in Racing Vehicles
Before mounting a nitrous bottle in a racing vehicle intended for use in sanctioned events, check
with the sanctioning association for any rules regarding this subject. Most associations require the
bottle to be mounted within the confines of the safety roll cage, with the safety pressure relief cap
vented away from the driver’s compartment.

How To Install A Nitrous Feed Line
Here’s a typical nitrous feed line installation on a production car. The procedure isn’t what you’d call
rocket science; it’s more common sense. With stock street-driven cars, it’s usually best to follow the
stock fuel line route. One more tip: Some nitrous enthusiasts like to insulate the supply line with
water heater pipe insulation, available at most hardware stores.
|
|
|
 |
|
 |
|
|
|
Following the fuel lines along the left side of
the vehicle and entering the engine bay near
the master cylinder works well. Determine the
route for your nitrous feed line to follow.
Ensure that the path is clear of exhaust
system, suspension, steering, wheels,
electrical lines and components, and tires.
|
|
The safest route for the nitrous system fuel
and nitrous lines is following the factory line.
The factory has done crash studies and has
determined the best route to keep the fuel
line safe. We started at the front and worked
our way toward the rear of the car, first
working the line through the fuel line
grommet.
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
 |
|
|
|
Inside the wheel house there’s a channel for
the nitrous line, but you have to bend back the
fender liner.
|
|
The nitrous line exiting the subframe
structure. We ran the nitrous line inside the
subframe rail.
|
|
|
|
 |
|
 |
|
|
|
If it’s necessary to support the nitrous supply
line under the vehicle, use 1⁄2-inch Tinnerman
clamps or nylon tie-wraps. Here we show a
straight shot to the rear wheel house. Use a
combination of clamps, tie-wraps, and body
panels to lace the nitrous line away from the
axle.
|
|
A body panel lip provided a good place to
lace the line up to the point where we
reentered the interior. The drain plug is an
easy access point. Just punch a hole in it
and run the line through it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
 |
|
|
|
After reinstalling the drain plug and attaching it
to the nitrous bottle, seal it with a liberal
application of RTV. Sometimes attaching the
nitrous supply line to the nitrous bottle valve
adapter requires using an optional 4AN to 4AN
90° fitting.
|
|
Before you attach the nitrous supply line to
the nitrous solenoid inlet port (Using the
optional 4AN to 4AN 90° Fitting (21), if
necessary), purge the nitrous supply line by
wrapping the end of nitrous line with a rag
and holding it securely. Point opening away
from people and briefly open bottle valve.

Fuel system design tactics
There are two types of fuel pumps produced for gasoline engines: low pressure (4 to 10 psi) and
high pressure (30 to 90 psi).
Low-Pressure Pumps
Low pressure pumps are intended for carbureted engines, Common examples are the 110 and 140
gallon per hour (gph) units marketed by a number of manufacturers. These pumps are rated under
free-flow exit conditions (no outlet restriction). When the outlet of the pump is restricted (real-world
conditions) the flow capacity is usually significantly less than the rated performance. Low-pressure
pumps are the most economical to produce. In most carbureted applications a low-pressure pump
will provide adequate performance and enjoy a cost advantage.
