Nitrous Oxide - How NOT, i repeat, NOT to install a nitrous kit!

Now, i know this is not the media section but it is the "nitrous" section and this is nitrous related. But if this needs to be moved then feel free to move it. But this is a good video for a lot of "nitrous rookies" to watch. It shows everthing that you should NOT do, i think it could be beneficial for the noobs.

Also, its a good laugh!

I don't know what to say... Nope I got nothin'


I want to the video the first time he sprays it. Lovin' the EGR nozzle location with JB Weld...

On his youtube site he says this in his comments.


verylongfamilylife

no tune needed with 100 shot.you can purge the nitrous as long as you want just make sure the nozzles dont freeze.anything over 100 shot and you need a tune or pull timing.

umm... is his name "Homer" by chance?

that is a nightmare waiting to happen and it looks like a rats nest in the engine bay.

You'd think it would be very efficient for the distribution of nitrous through the intake manifold....

Sweet...ive got that same battery! And I really thought that was a joke..

I would be afraid of all that purge wiring mess to get caught in the belt and doing a big mess in my engine bay.
But since that is not my engine bay I would love to see a video of this big fail when it happens:angel:

funny stuff atleast hes using a actual nitrous bottle

x2 haha

Did he run out during purging? Funny.

Wooooooowwwww :lol:

Im speechless and he is Brainless. I guess some people have no pride in there car or work. I would be embarrassed to pop my hood anywhere.

if down syndrome was contagious....

if down syndrome was contagious....

No, someone with down syndrome would have least understood that that looks hideous lol

legit... As soon as he opened the hood I knew he was full of fail.

I would have never cut the vents on my hood! At that point I would have said to self this is a stupid idea.

I would have never cut the vents on my hood! At that point I would have said to self this is a stupid idea.

Can't you just add a steel threaded nozzle thin enough to fit thru the vents and then just add a nut on each side to hold it firmly if he really wanted to have them there?

You think the video maker used reason is anything?

zip tied the window switch to the battery handle lol

i dont want the purge to freeze my hood im dying laughing

i still find it funny he wasted a WHOLE BOTTLE purging. i wonder if he is a member on here....

If he is a member...he needs to be banned lol

im sorry you guys didnt like my clean install.... geez. you betta be watchin in your rearview when i purge all my nitro shit with the blue lights at your azz!!!!

zip tied the window switch to the battery handle lol

That was my favorite part too.

what was wrong with it? very innovative and custom if you ask me. Next hell do a direct port setup and screw individual nozzles into the spark plugs holes to which well see a thread show up about how is car all of the sudden wont start.

Did he run out during purging? Funny.

He might have closed the bottle valve and purged off whatever was left in the line...

but yeah, this install is ass. If I were Nitrous Express, I'd send him a free kit from a competitor and a prepaid shipping label for him to return those solenoids.

And I have that crappy battery too. lol

That vid failed when he said the word "NAWWWSSSSS"

What a tool!

Those poor girll inserts are soooo hacked up. It looked like he used plastic push tube for the purge. What a tool. I bet he leaves the line in the car and just puts it out the window under the hood.

wow just wow

Yeah and it looked like all he needed to do was take out the 2 screws holding them in and use a small hole saw bit and it would have been much better.

I knew it was fail when he had to move the feed line to see the arming and purge buttons. Hell if he would spent 15 minutes and used some black split loom and secured the purge lines and wiring to the hood it would really just been the feed line to mess with him on. Oh and the controller strapped to the battery.

Well Okay if he had just spent another hour or two he would have been fine.

That vid failed when he said the word "NAWWWSSSSS"

everything was pretty legit untill that came out of his mouth...

I remember this picture from a while back but makes me think this is the video that was made before the pictures came out. Ill try and find more.

I think the guy in the video has a texas plate.

Maybe he moved? LOL I dont know. The video just reminded me of these pictures.

http://i660.photobucket.com/albums/uu328/zerosignal/mother-of-god-super-troopers.jpg

are those pictures of a bottle exploding in the back of that car?!

yes. supposidly baked in the sun and the blow down valve wasnt on or broke. So KABOOM went the bottle.

damn!

The sad part about this is that he's got all the right parts for a decent installation. It's just the execution that is horrible... The only thing I've ever seen that was close was an install on a rental car.

I think the guy in the video has a texas plate.

and a blue bottle, not black...

Plus, the pictures of the exploded f-body have been around for years. The video was posted April of 2010. That's two fails in one thread!!! nitrous install fail and LegacyGTBiggie fail.

I haz FAILBURGER?

I just said it reminded me of the pictures. Not that they were related. Chances are the guy in the video is headed for the same thign.

zip tied the window switch to the battery handle lol

Also my favorite part. Ive had to zip tie a few things to clean up the install so that wires arent touching other stuff but holy crap. To the battery really?!?!

Also my favorite part. Ive had to zip tie a few things to clean up the install so that wires arent touching other stuff but holy crap. To the battery really?!?!

The best part about that is the fact that the zip ties are around the body of the window switch, too - totally bypassing the convenient mounting holes on the base of the switch. Half-assed x2

looks pretty good to me, and those purge lights are just sick!!! gatta get me a set!!! looks like a custom fabricator did the grill work for him. to me thats a great job. very direct way to the purge as well, keeping the lines as short as possable.

Somethings still manage to amaze me and they are usually the far bounds of human stupidity.

I cant say anything to bad since his rear window had a I LOVE NITRO sticker. (see at 300)
I love me too.. Cant blame him..lol

All joking aside.. I have seen worse installs than this one..... But this one is going to make for a nice second video... His next video will be how to remove a blown up engine from the car.

Ill leave the quality of the install alone.. Just touch on one thing.. Nozzle placement.. BOOM!!!

Dave

I thought it was a joke.....until he said NAWZ and was serious...wow.

All joking aside.. I have seen worse installs than this one.....
Dave

And we would love to hear about those installs

Are you guys sure this was "real?" :lol:

Are you guys sure this was "real?" :lol:

Would you ever go as far as to hack up a perfectly good ws6 hood just to make a fake video like this one?

Wow...

I would give him credit where it is due. The wires were in loom for the most part, the window switch (I would put it under the dash) could simply be moved a mounted to the strut tower, and the purge lines need to be re-routed along the back of the hood and secured to the hood(or prefferably shortened and not mounted to the hood), Finlay the nozzle placement could be chosen much better. Those are the things to change. The plate for the noids looks nice, the wires are loomed the purge isn't too bad but he got over zealous making the hole but he knows that. I would grade the install 7 because he just needs a few tweaks and will have a good looking set up.

Maybe I am too lenient but i think you guys are being too harsh.

All I can say is custom. That is the baddest nitrous install I have ever seen LMAO. And I was worried about one of my hard lines being 1/16'' out of square from the rest of my kit. Maybe I worry too much.

Are you guys sure this was "real?" :lol:

Seems pretty legit to me...he seems pretty proud of his work.

This video had 500 views and 1 comment on it last night when i found it haha. Now its on lsxtv.com and i'm sure it has found its way to other forums as well. Sorry to the guy who made this but you are in need of some guidence...

Guys maybe you can help me, I have an LS6 intake and wanna do my nozzle like that. Should I just drill a hole in the intake and put some silicone around the threads?

LMAO I can definitely think of some idiots on here that will do that if they didnt have the money to pay a shop. Especially some of the local idiots on this board. :lol:

Sadly I have had some pretty awful jobs come to our shop to redo that a speed shop had installed..

This guys install just show lack of experience. Obviously he has not found his way to the great LS1 tech nitrous community for help. Rather than making fun of him someone should chase him down and offer some advice. If he responds like an idiot then treat him like an idiot. He may just need some guidence.

I know when I was a young buck I did some pretty stupid stuff because I did not know any better and I had no one to tell me any different. Back then there was a lot of gray areas when it came to nitrous.

Dave

This is what I am thinking! Again good start and with a few tweeks could be a really nice clean install.

Young buck?? This guy's page says he's 35!! But you have to respect something that can potentially kill you! I can't knock him too much, other than his nozzle placement. Hell, you guys might get a laugh out of my first Nitrous install.

that's horrible, i feel sorry for his car. and here i was embarassed about my install because i dont have my pressure switch wired up for the heater yet

that guy is a idiot he has lines running everywhere lol

that shit is hella tight yo lol

At the start of the video when he had to move the line to see the purge/window switch I thought this was a joke. In a related video check out these tools http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQoqeiEnbmc&feature=player_embedded

The WOT switch with the "custom" bracket was my favorite part. I see how thats much better than using the TPS sensor.

that honestly seems slower then my car on the motor. and maybe it was me but i couldnt tell when he sprayed it?

Haha, that's so funny!

Yeah it doesn't look like they are spraying it.

d-bags.

Not sure how much a sensor is but the switch comes in the kit or you can buy one at radio shack for $199. I installed my micro switch on the gas pedal to keep things out of the engine bay.

Hits on the video have really taken off, as have the harsh, harsh comments... the guy has to have felt the scorn of teh intarweb by now and yet the video remains up. I suppose some people like being famous, no matter what it's for.

This.

You sir are great for this forum. I respect that you took the high road and not made fun of him. I can't say that for myself.

When I found this video and posted it it only had 500 views and 1 comment haha. If a video of mine was blowing up on the internet id leave it up even if was being bashed.

Dont worry...when his car blows up and he is stranded on side of the road he will build a fire

Nitrous install...:nono:

Fire starter...funny how the fire is in a perfect line along the 2X4. Almost as if a little lighter fluid was squirted on it.:eyes:

that honestly seems slower then my car on the motor. and maybe it was me but i couldnt tell when he sprayed it?

I dont think it was spraying! If it was Id have to say thats the slowest car on spray I have ever seen. Even a 94 intregra bone stock with a 50 shot moves out faster than that :lol:

its nice to know im famous.too bad for all the wrong reasons.im not sore or bitter from all the harsh comments.i will agree with everyone.my install sucked.i bought the kit from a guy at work.it wasnt model specific.im not going to defend my install at all.i wasnt completly finished with the install(hence the feed line and purge line not secured).anyway i am real suprised at all the harsh comments from the lsx community.THIS WAS MY FIRST INSTALL.i did ask you guys a few questions..like whre should i install the nozzle?and all i got was..dry=before maf wet= after maf.and the jb weld was just a seal to make sure i didnt have a vaccuum leak.i do have a 19mm fine thread nut screw tohe nozzle...but then again,im not here to defend my install,i know i fucked up.i guess i just needed some pics or to do more research.i was just trying to get it done with what i had.listen guys,i am truly sorry for the "half assed install".my next one will be much better.yes..im going to try again.you learn alot from mistakes.just suprised at some of the guys comments.but oh well.YOUR WELCOME FOR ALL THE LAUGHS. lol!:sucks:

ithe msd window switch i had didnt work off the tps...man if i quote everyone..i will be here all day...i gotta stop.

whats up with all the haters?its not like this on ls1.com

Give me a call at the shop. 1-866-648-7637 or shoot me a pm. I will be happy to give you some advice to get you on a safe and fun track. You handled the internet poking very well. Takes a big man to laugh it off and say ok lets fix this then.

Let me know if I can help you out.
Dave

I can't believe I watched that fire starter video. I honestly think I am dumber for watching it. I like how he had to take his shirt off for the video. WTF is wrong with some people.

SO the question remains... Did you ever run the car on the bottle with it like that?

Someone get some tools and supplies and go help him get it squared away properly.. take pics and new video ;)

Atleast the owner is a good sport about it. I hope you get it all sorted.

2 bottles ran with this install.no problems except for the first time when i ran out of juice.all solonoids were working with all the components.just didnt want to act like i was defending my install.it sucked,but everything worked.im gonna give nitro daves kit a try.the one with the solonoids built into the plate.sold old car.now i got a 2000 with a4.I PROMISE TO POST THE VIDEO OF THIS ONE SO I CAN REDEEM MYSELF.LOL!

Well you seemed to have learned from your mistakes and you aren't being a dick for all the hate we sent your way. So that's cool with me. You manned up in my book. Good luck with your next install.

P.S. Fill out your profile.

thanks man.im not gonna get anywhere being a dick.some of the harsh remarks actually made me giggle.have you ever seen those old cartoons where the guy makes a device where theres a work boot suspended by some string and pullies and the guy bends over and pulls the string and the boot kicks him in the ass?......thats me.

Big ups to Leeroy!! Some of these haters are not yet old enough to look back on the work the have done and laugh about it. I did my install (my first), but only b/c my step dad has masters in Elec Engineering and was willing to help. There are as many dumb hater posts on this thread, as posts in this forum with owners of pretty installs that need help cause thier crap don't work! Keep spraying with a smile Leeroy. And to the rest of ya...Hate..hate...Hate...hate!!!!:bang:

dont tell me you didnt laugh when you saw the flame!

It was a good laugh...nice to see your a good sport about it

video is taken down :(

video is taken down :(

You could always just watch the one of the guy with no shirt starting a fire...

video is taken down :(

when u put it like that,i kinda wish i wouldnt have deleted it.just kinda wantd to put an end to it i guess.sorry.on the real though..where is the best place to install a nozzle?if its a wet nozzle?after the maf of course.nitro dave..wanna chime in here?im doin the plate anyway,but just want to know where the best place to install the shark nozzle?

You could always just watch the one of the guy with no shirt starting a fire...

yeah i will show you how to make a fire out of a fire bow.survival of the fittest.amaze your friends.cook meat.sky's the limit with a fire.

if you are looking for a place to install the nozzle, look at the bellow that connects the MAF to the TB.

yeah i will show you how to make a fire out of a fire bow.survival of the fittest.amaze your friends.cook meat.sky's the limit with a fire.

:cheers: Way to be a good sport about everything, good luck with the next install and be sure to redeem yourself with a new video.

yes. supposidly baked in the sun and the blow down valve wasnt on or broke. So KABOOM went the bottle.

I actually remember when that happened to that particular car. IIRC it was a bottle heater that got left on.

I searched LSXtv.com and didn't find the video. anyone have a copy of it?

Linky no worky :(

Classic fail....however I can't promise I would've made it that far along on my own and had a functioning system. I lack the expertise to perform the type of functional and clean install I was looking for so I simply went the "pay a professional to do the work" route.

Props to the owner for manning up and working through the trial and error portion of the install process. Hopefully the next one will go better for you.

I only got to see this video once or twice before it was taken down. Anyone got a copy? I have a few friends who need a good chuckle.

Where's the video!?!?
