Default My hidden nitrous wet system

Beginnin of the year i felt, i need more power, so i pulled the trigger on a Cold Fusion wet kit up to 200hp, payed around 250 bucks w/o bottle, bec of cost explosion for shipping to my home, bought a used 10lb bottle and a remote opener from NOS here in my Country...

Now bottle and solenoids are tested on their new place and they will fit there:







Next step is, hide the parts as best as i can, in regards to german law, which declared nitrous oxide itself as a drug, i´m not happy to visit a prison from inside, so i will hide the lines and solenoids under the new GTO frc´s, made my own fogger like a plate kit in the tb and use a solid line underfloor, here is the beginnin from bending the tubes and put them in a free clip from brackets of fuel and brake lines, need now 2 couplers, to get them connected:















Greetz,
Ron

It's not the nitrous that's a drug. It's hot rods.

I was thinking the same thing. NO2 may be illegal to use on the street in the US, but at least you're not also risking drug charges JUST FOR HAVING IT IN YOUR CAR!

Thanks bros, i appreciate your comments!

If nitrous is also forbidden to use in the US, why does so many folks mounted the lines and solenoids on top of the intake manifold and also have a plate kit installed, nothing is hidden here, every Sheriff can see it, when open up the hood, that doesn´t make trouble for the car owner in regards to US law´s, that´s curios in my mind?!

Yes, filling the bottle is a little bit tricky here, i have one privat 70km away, one shop the same distance and i pay between 50-70€ for a fill, hope one bottle fill will last one month, but i´m unsure about that, right foot is a little bit heavy> pedal to the metal style

Found another pics on my cellphone from the kit:

In the US the thing can be installed but the bottle must be unhooked while you drive on the street.

Ah ok, this sounds like the same law here in Germany, I never looked at it specially, only heard about the drug problem, so this car is my dd, not a trailer queen for car shows, better go the hiding route in order to guard trouble with Sheriffs or TUV, but one company here is able for a waterproof TUV approval, but takes to much bucks for it and I had to buy and install the whole system in their shop...

If having it unhooked is ok, put an unhooked dummy bottle in plain sight. They won't keep looking after that.

One step ahead, blackished the whole piping:











Put plastic foam with sheet metal behind to prevent frazzle on the tank:







Made a device of wood for smashing in a round gap for the piping and the coupler behing the heat shield:







And on it´s place:

For the moment, last action here on hidden nitrous system, bec first i have to crop some bucks from the moneytree and then order the last parts to get the system running, but in the meantime the best and greatest door has opened especially for me, found a nitrous dealer with full bottles 5km away from my home...

Now finished heat protection on the main line to the stainless steel braided hose, maybe 20mm gap to the primaries from the headers, hope this is enough?!

Always wrap the headers
