gas line for nitrous Diagram

Anyone have one of these for a nitrous setup? I am going to be running a purge, fuel gauge, and FPSS, This is for a Dynotune wet system on my lt1. The main thing is I am confused about is the way I hook up the Fuel Pressure Gauge, FPSS and purge? This all comes off the shrader but wouldn't it reduce the pressure, running all of them off of it? I have done a search but a Diagram would really really help.

You sound a little confused. You purge nitrous not fuel, so your going to runyour purge solenoid off your main nitrous solenoid. Your going run your fpss and your fp guage off your schrader valve in back of the intake.

I'm an idiot. I dunno why I was thinking fuel went out of the purge to. lol. So it just needs to be split two times. One for the gauge sensor and then one that goes through the fpss into the solenoid Right? But do you have to split the N2O twice then. To run a pessure gauge and then the purge?

Call Nitro Dave's Nitrous Outlet, they will have all the fittings you need to attach the parts you are concerned about. http://www.nitrousoutlet.com/

Having the right parts will make the installation of your kit very easy, not to mention how much cleaner it will look.

You still seem to be hung up on the fuel somehow being related to the purge. Its not. What you possibly meant to say it that you need to split off the FPSS, then the fuel pressure gauge, and have the fuel line continue on to the fuel solenoid.

There are a couple ways you can do it. I like to use a 90-deg swivel fitting on the Schrader valve, and run a short -4AN hose to either a "fuel gauge block" or a common brass "tee". Multiple connections would require multiple blocks or tees. Or, you can get a multiple tap "manifold" that allows you to connect several devices to only one fitting.

And, no - having multiple devices like an FPSS and a fuel gauge pressure sensor all coming off the Schrader valve will not affect fuel pressure in any way. The FPSS and pressure sensor are not consuming any fuel, or affecting the fuel pressure. They are only sensors.

ok I understand, thanks. I didn't know if the FPSS was built kind of like an in line fuel filter (as in it flowed through it) or it was like the gauge and was like a sensor. Now the Nitrous to the gauge though. Do you split the nitrous line for that?

You can just run a manifold in series of the nitrous line. The manifold has accessory ports on it that you can hook a gauge up to. As mentioned above, give Nitro Dave a call, they will set you up with all the hardware to get your kit working properly.

Ok how does this look fellas.

-4 Manifold w/Swivel 1/8" Port for the gauge which can be installed at the bottle or a line ran to gauge upfront.

1 In/3 Out 1/8 Distribution block,(In = Hose from Shrader).....(Out = 1 port for FPSS, 1 port for Fuel Pressure Gauge and 1 port for the Solenoid)

I think that covers it.

The block will work, but you could use another manifold for the fuel side as well. The manifold will run in series of the Shrader valve and the fuel solenoid. Then the manifold will have two accessory ports where you can run both the guage and the FPSS.

all you need is 2 manifolds

1 swivel for the nitrous/purge and one 2 port for the fuel side
