Nitrous Setup ?s

Well I recieved my NX kit yesterday and started to install. I have the bottle, solenoids and the line from the bottle to the solenoid installed.

My questions are:

Where should I put the WOT switch so it works correctly (a pic would be helpful)?

I have a fuel pressure gauge and need to setup the fuel line to the nitrous kit. Has anyone done this? I am thinking of a 2 outlet fitting but the fuel sender is tall and not a hole lot of room in that area.

Tommy, even though you didn't buy the nitrous kit from me, I'll still help ya out .

If you've got some good drill and tap skills, you can do what I do. On the blue adapter that the fuel safety switch is mounted in, I tapped a second hole into the backside of it, and then mounted my fuel gauge sender there. I did that for two reasons. One- I didn't want to use a tee off the rail and obstruct flow, and two- I'd rather read fuel pressure as close to that fuel solenoid as possbile.

As for the micro switch, what I do is replace the TB bolt on the top by the linkage with a longer one that sticks out the back of the TB. Then I mount the micro swtich to that bolt end and position it to be activated by the linkage.

BTW, if you got the 15 lb bottle, we now have a really neat bed mount for it that doesn't require any drilling or modifications to the bed to mount the bottle.

Thanks Sal for the info. Sounds like a great way to do it. I purchased the 10lb bottle but it shoud be ok. Should be able to test Thursday if all goes well.
