we'll i went to the local speed shop thats is a NX dealer i really like them they answers any and all questions good prices and excellent service.

but when i ask him how mush the labor would be he said $250 is this a fair price i heard it was pretty easy to do your self but i like to have things done professionally. Might try to do it my self now

what do yall think good price, fair, a little steep, or way to much

 

actually pricing it out myself. Out in the Chicagoland area here Im seeing $350.

 

350 just for install when people say you can do it your self i don't know very many people that have done thier on gears and TC but they charge less for that

mabe 250 was a good price

 

Yea $350 from two different places in the area. Thats to install the system, heaters, remote opener, switches......everything! I thought since I got two prices and they were almost dead on.

 

i'm getting mine put in for 150 come on out to Idaho! we need more fbody's out here

 

If I were to install a complete system for somebody, I would charge no less than $200. So I'd say that's pretty reasonable for a shop, considering thier overhead.
Now if it was a buddy of mine, a 12 pack would be just fine.
The best thing you can do is install it yourself. That way you know exactly how it all works. And it will be much easier to troubleshoot any problems.

 

vote for self install and obtaining knowledge

 

Post the question in the Texas section i'm sure someone will help you do it for free or charge you like $50. Theres got to be plenty of people that live close enough to you.

 

It is not that hard to do. At the worst I would do it yourself and then have someone look at it to make sure it is right. Having the kit in your car and not knowing how it works/and to fix it is not good. Read a few install pages and take it slow, you'll do ok. Hiding the kit is more of a challenge. Good luck.

 

Maybe some of these quotes include soldering. Going with butt splices on such a sensitive piece of equipment is asking for trouble. Granted, there are always those who have never had problems with splices. But there are vairables to your climate (road salts, rain, humidity, dust... etc.) that may affect the connection. Best bet is to always solder then heat shrink.

 

I think that if you are ready to use Nitrous then you should be mechanically inclined to know how to install a system. Assuming that you have done research and know all the right things to do, (use teflon paste, correct wiring ect) then you will have better control over your system. Nitrous really isnt a "just push the button and go" type of deal, contrary to belief !!

 

quick question... what is teflon paste used for?

 

Actually, it is used to seal the threads of all of the connections. Some people use Teflon Tape which is a bad thing. It can ball up and stick in a solenoid. Not using any thread sealer is asking for a leak.

 

i haddnt even thought of that, i used tape when plumbing a lot, i should have realized that. but you say use paste, not tape. gotcha

 

Yep, I'd also put the filter at the N2O solenoid in case any crap/teflon/rubber/rust/debris from the N2O station breaks off and flows through the line. That keeps the solenoid clean.
