MOUNTING THE BOTTLE
The nitrous bottle should be mounted in the
trunk area or outside of the passenger compartment. If this is not
possible or practical a NHRA approved blow
down tube and vent fitting (PN’s 11708, 11709) must be installed.
The positioning of the bottle should
be as shown in illustration “A”. This will allow the siphon tube to be
covered at all
times.
The mounting brackets should be assembled
on the bottle with the short bracket approx. 2” from the bottom,
on 10 lb. bottles the long bracket should
be place approx. 7” above the lower one, on 15lb bottles the upper
bracket should be approx. 12” above the
lower bracket. Use this mock up as a template to locate the four
mounting bolt holes.
Note:
Before drilling holes be sure to check for clearance beneath the mounting surface i.e.: fuel tank,
fuel lines,
brake lines.
ILLUSTRATION A
MOUNTING THE NITROUS PLATE
Before any modifications are made under
the hood, we suggest that you make a diagram of all hoses,
wiring, and
linkages.
1. Pre-assemble the nitrous plate before you
begin. The nitrous solenoid should be mounted towards the rear
of the vehicle, while the fuel solenoid should be mounted towards the front.
Select the horsepower
setting that you want
to start with, insert the proper nitrous jet in the plate jet fi tting marked “N2O”
(CAUTION: You must
always use a back-up wrench when tightening the lines to the plate fittings,
failure to do so could break the fittings and will void the
system warranty!!!!!) Connect the nitrous
solenoid to
this fitting with the 3/16 stainless steel hardline con nector with blue fittings. The nitrous
solenoid
can be identified by the “N2O” marked on the base. The Lightning solenoids are unique and
special attention must be paid to the “inlet-outlet port arrangement. The 1/8th NPT side inlet port is the
location for the N2O filter fitting, the 1/8 NPT purge port is for the
optional purge valve. If no purge
valve is used a 1/8
NPT plug is provided to block this port. Repeat this procedure for the fuel solenoid
NOTE: Always check each jet for obstructions before using.
2. Remove the air cleaner.
3. Disconnect the throttle linkage, noting its
position.
4. Carefully remove the fuel line, being careful
to avoid spilling any raw fuel on hot engine parts.
5. Remove the carburetor; noting all vacuum
connec tions before disconnecting any hoses.
6. Remove the old carb studs and install the
longer ones furnished with the NX system. Install the new carb
gasket provided. Install the N2O
plate, and place the remaining new carb gasket on top of the plate. Do
not re-install the carb yet.
7. It is now time to route the nitrous supply
line.
