Nitrous location

I mounted my bottle behind my backseat. I ran my n20 line down my passengar side inside the car then out the firewall behind the Pcm. How new are you to nitrous? What kit do you have? Do you have any supporting mods for the n20?

I was asking for my roomates car that I am helping him build, neither one of us have any experience with N20, but it seems fairly simple. He has the Zex wet kit 125hp, 383 stroker fully forged and alot of bolt on goodies. We are just trying to figure out were to mount the N20 control box, we mounted the bottle in the spare tire compartment and ran the line though the trunk drain and along side the fuel lines.

What else does he have besides for the kit? Ignition box? FPSS? Window switch? Way to retard the timing? You say the control box so im assuming it may have some of those features.

Yes he has a aftermarket igniton box , but im not sure if he has a fpss or window switch in the N20 control box or not I have to call Zex and ask them, thge control box contain a tps and contains the fuel solenoids, it is a plug and play system.

the ZEX system does not include a fpss or a window switch...find out which ignition box he has....some have built in timing retard, and the others will have an add on module.

Feel free to call and I can go over everything with you.

I'm not seeing what car you have. If it's a 93-97 LT1 then I can tell you what I did. I have the 82026 kit. The NMU (nitrous management unit) is mounted on the driver side strut tower. I fashioned a sheet metal bracket and attached it to the inner fender. I ran the gas and n20 lines through the fuel line sheath to the intake elbow. The bottle is mounted where the passenger side rear seat was. The 18' -AN 4 supply line has been replaced with a 12' length. The valve and gauge are within plain sight and reach from the driver's seat. Plus, the bottle is mounted low in the car. I have a blow down tube through the floor but everything can be taken out in a few minutes if I want to put the seat back in.

mine in all 3 of mine are in the spare tire well, in my Z however im moving them to where the back seats used to be i ran all my feedlines inside the unibody rail (its a realy tight fit) make sure the line isnt hittiong your exhaust or any suspension parts and that the line is tight, if it vibrated it will wear a hole in the line then you have a massive leak thats hard to find and is expensive to fix!

I mounted my bottle in the spare tire well also and used the mounting plate from Nitro Dave. I ran the line through the trunk drain and ran it parallel with most of the fuel/brake lines on the drivers side.

The bottle is mounted in the spare tire area, with a 12-inch line to a distribution block where a pressure switch regulates the heater and a pressure gage also resides. The line then runs forward under the passenger rear seat and along the rocker panel next to the stereo wires, then out through the right fenderwell next to the ECM wires.
