Instruction Manual
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.
Select the horsepower setting that you want to
start
with, insert the proper nitrous
jet in the fitting
marked
“N2O” (CAUTION: You must always use a
back-up
wrench on the jet fittings when tightening the nitrous or
fuel lines, failure to do so will result in broken fittings and will void the system
warranty!)
Connect the blue stainless steel braided
line to
the
plate fitting. The nitrous solenoid can be identified
by the “N2O” stamped on the base. Repeat this
pro
cedure for the
fuel solenoid (the fuel solenoid will
be
stamped “FUEL). NOTE: Always check each jet
for
obstructions before
using.
2. Remove the upper intake manifold. Remove all
gasket material on the mating surfaces of the
upper
and lower
manifold.
3. The nitrous plate should be installed as
shown.
(See Illustration B ) Fuel and nitrous fittings are to
the front of the vehicle.
Using supplied gaskets on both sides of
the
plate reinstall the upper intake on top of the
nitrous
plate and torque to factory specs using
the
provided hardware.
ILLUSTRATION B
ROUTING THE NITROUS FEED
LINE
NOTE: Place a piece of tape over the end of
the
hose to prevent debris from entering feed
line
during the routing
process.
The 4AN nitrous feed line may
be
routed to the engine compartment either through
the
passenger compartment or under the vehicle.
Route
the line carefully to prevent the possibility of
restrict
ing nitrous flow. If routed under vehicle, locate
and
drill a
3⁄4
inch diameter hole in a
suitable area near
the
bottle valve for the main line. Starting at the
bottle
nipple (Do not attach line to the bottle nipple
yet)
route the line to
the engine compartment.
Following
the factory fuel lines is usually the best path.
Note:
Keep maximum clearance between all moving
parts,
suspension components and hot engine
components,
securing the supply line where possible (“Zip
Ties”
are the best for securing the
feed line). Be
especially
careful of the feed line being near any “HOT”
electri
cal leads, one small spark will destroy the Teflon
liner
causing a nitrous
leak.
SOLENOID
MOUNTING
1. The NX EFI nitrous
systems
are supplied with NX “Lightning Solenoids”. The “Lightning”
is
unique and special attention must
be
paid to
the “inlet-outlet port
arrange
ment. The side
inlet
port is the location for the filtered 4AN to 1/8NPT fitting. The
side
“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. The nitrous discharge is
from
the bottom of the solenoid base,
the non-filtered 4AN to 1/8NPT fitting and the
blue 4AN line to the plate should
be
connected here. The
fuel
solenoid
requires the 4AN to 1/8NPT fitting on
the
inlet side and non-filtered 3AN to 1/8NPT fitting on the outlet.
2. Install all solenoid fittings using the
provided
liquid red NX thread sealer (NO TEFLON
TAPE
PLEASE) at this time. The N2O filter is
mounted
to the inlet side of the nitrous
solenoid.
The purge valve is connected to the opposite
1/8
NPT purge port (use the provided
plug if a purge valve
is
not used). The port on the
bottom
of the solenoid is the discharge to the
plate.
3. The solenoid mounting brackets are designed to
be
universal. Start by mounting the solenoid
brack
ets to the base of each solenoid. Do
not
tighten!
You may have to flip the mounting bracket
over
to align the solenoid for the proper
orientation.
Locate an existing screw,
bolt, or stud to
mount
the solenoids. Choose a location that allows
the
two plate feed lines some slack to prevent
any
flow
restrictions or influence on the plate.
Tighten
all mounting screws and mount locations
securely
now. Note: The solenoids may be
mounted in
any
position, on their side or upside
down.
4. Thread the blue N2O steel braided line onto
the
Nitrous solenoid outlet (bottom of
solenoid).
Thread the red Fuel steel braided line onto
the
Fuel solenoid outlet labeled “Outlet”.
Tighten securely.
5. The bottle-feed line will be attached to the
N2O
filter. See “Routing the Feed Line”. Before
you
attach the nitrous supply line to the
filter,
purge
the line of any foreign matter that may have
acci
dentally entered the line during installation.
Do
so by removing the tape
used during
installation
and blowing compressed air through the
feed
line. (Have an assistant hold the end of the
hose
aimed away from
the car and any people.
Wearing
a glove is
recommended).
Immediately after
the
purging operation, connect the main feed line
to
the
N2O solenoid and the nitrous bottle,
tighten
securely.
