Pics of my trick flow elbow (link fixed)

Album Link

Don't have it drilled yet to accept the nozzle. Not looking forward to drilling through the metal too much, either. I'll get a few more pics up when it's drilled and installed so you can see the final fit and finish. Seems like a lot of people want these elbows because it took Summit quite a while to get it out to me.

Very purdy.

Have you consider putting your nozzle in the stock IAT sensor location and relocating the sensor?

That's what I did for my 1LE elbow and NX nozzle and it works great. No cutting up the elbow either!

I don't really like the idea of sticking it in the IAT sensor hole for distribution reasons, especially on this new elbow 'cause it seems to be moved up closer to the TB. Looks as though it'd shoot directly into the left TB blade. I know a lot of people have put them there and they've worked, but it also works purdy good where I put it so I guess I'll stick with that

"its very easy to drill and tap. just get the right tap."
I sure hope so. Should have some more pics w/in a few days.

Looks great. I would put the nozzle underneath the elbow. Hide your solenoids, and put teh black convoluted tubing over the braided hoses and wires, so they factory. This way you dont advertise that you got nitrous, good for inspection and the unsuspecting cocky ricer.

Just my thoughts, why advertise.

Too much work, don't have inspection (if you meant emissions), and if i put the bottle in the spare tire well then I'll have to buy a remote opener (which I don't have the money for) instead of reaching back and cracking the bottle open when somebody pulls up beside me. Hard to inspect me when all you see is taillights I'm doing all this on a high-schooler's budget (although I should make about 2k this summer) If somebody wants to run and sees I've got juice, I'll just pull 15* of timing from the mallory box, start her up and let her backfire and sputter "Aw man not again, it's running like crap." (letting them think they've got the win), then drop it down to a few *'s when we line 'em up and let her rip Thanks for the comments though, laters.

Where are you gonna drill for the nozzle? You need an 1/8" npt tap.

Z28ROC, I put the nozzle in the inside bend of the elbow. (Pics in cardomain link in sig). I got it installed tonight but hands are too dirty to handle the camera and I don't feel like cleaning 'em I'll post some up tomorrow.

Pics are up. Click link in first post of this thread. Goes on much easier than the stocker and drilled pretty easy as well. Money well spent if your stocker is coming apart everywhere like mine was.

Very nice setup

I like the panel that you have the switches mounted on.

Thumbs up

Looks great!
But I think the orange bands would look better if they were black. I really like the coating though.
I didn't see a pic of the switch panel?

Doesn't that metal elbow get really hot sitting right above the water pump?

It's ceramic coated, which aids in heat dispersal I would think. After driving it about 15 miles, in which the last two minutes are idling around my neighborhood and to the house, I popped the hood and it was cool to the touch. Just as cool as the MAF. I think if you left it idling in park for a while of course it would retain some heat due to heat soak from no airflow.
