How does this look to the N2O veterans? A lot of people mount it in the opposite side of the elbow but I have a feeling that favors the left side too much. My real concern is if it's okay to use 45 and/or 90 degree hard bent lines to connect to the Shark nozzle, or would it restrict flow ('the kick') too much?

Heres a pic of the type of elbows in the illustration

Tell me what you guys think!

 

I would think you could just move your solenoids and route the braided lnies to connect the Nozzle on that side, shouldn't need those elbows. Although if they are needed I don't think they would cause any problems as far as flow goes, etc. I will actaully be moving my nozzle to that side when in put my vortech elbow in

 

Problem is I dont have enough length in the N2O feed line to reach the solenoid then up to the nozzle. My bottle is mounted in the tire well and of course it runs under the car, over the rear wheel archs, and parallel to the subframes, up alongside the passenger side by the A/C stuff, ending above the back of the passenger valve cover. The nozzle will be on the opposite side of the elbow and to make a smooth 'S' shape for the final stainless line it just isnt long enough. I figured by using the bends I could gain back a couple inches by being able to reduce the slack. Plus the nozzle will be installed at about a 30 degree angle to clear the seams on the intake bellows and they'd help make it more low-profile.

 

The hard lines wont decrease anything. look at all the GOOD fogger kits,all small tube hard line. absolutely NO flex compared to braided lines.

 

couple things to note:

Though the hard tubing is a good way of plumbing a system, the type of fittings, and more specifically the hose, is not meant for the high pressures you are dealing with in Nitrous Oxide. It would be no problem on the fuel side, however I would be concerned using any rubber line, even if it is braided.

If anything look into Earl's Speed-Flex (I believe thats right?), which uses a Teflon liner. This hose, along with the fittings meant for this hose can be used as they are meant for the high pressures associated with Brake Systems.

Good luck!

 

I think with the fog the nozzels put out you dont really have to worroy about which side it's getting more,but thats just me thinking. I just have to say nice diagrahm too.But put the fog into it and you will see it will just cover any area that is in front of it to a certian degree.

 

Kurtis - the only additions I had planned on using would be the hardline elbows. The rest of the install would be genuine NX kit parts. No added rubber lines...i promise

 

Thats how mine is mounted. Here is a pic. I hope you can see well enough.

 

I have mine on the drivers side as well, but I have Ram Air.
