Default Where to purge?

I've attached a pic of where I want to purge from, hopefully I can figure out how to attach it lol

So vote for where you would purge from, I personally like the idea of the blue arrows. But my question is that if i have my purge noid up near the engine, by time the gas runs through the lines to exit where the blue is...would it look like ****?

I want something different, to grab some attention but tastefully

I believe the brake vents would be a good spot as well... that's where I will be running mine. Just appears that you would need to drill a hole in the engine bay on each side to run the tubing through? Or is there any easier way?

I'll go look to see if there is a spot to slip through a line to the brake vents

but again, runing a purge line all that way...how will it look when it comes out? a little puff?

I wouldn't think a couple more foot of tubing would matter a WHOLE lot with that sort of PSI coming out?

it looks like you could run a line up to the bottom of the wind shield and then down through the fender...it would take a lot of trial and error...but then you'd have to have a sharp bend to aim the purge back in an upward angle....hurm...

i wouldn't think it would matter...can't hurt to try, the rubber tube can't cost very much at all...i think someone on here said to use 3/8" tube?

Home Depot sells some clear 3/8th's inch inner diameter plastic tubing, and some compression fittings to make it a really quick and clean install.

edit--the bending was referred to if i purged from the brake vents

and cutting the honey comb goes for brake vents or hood vents

Nobody has a cool way to purge?

I've narrowed it down to:
the red arrows
or out of the break vents on the side of the fender

which one now?

I vote the brake vents on the side. What'd make it even more original is if you could put a y in their 2 make it come out of each vent.

Whew! Look to me like you should have a honda, have you considered the fact of how much NO2 you are going to be wasting by filling lines all over the place? I agree that it would look really cool, I had two on mine in a y arangement right out of the windshield cowl, and it was like a total of 26 inches of line, and by the time I purged it so that it actually blew a cloud instead of hot air, I noticed I was wasting a ton of No2, I don't know, I really use mine a decent amount, so I limited it back down to one purge, and 12 inches of hard copper line and the only reason I even use it now, is to get super fresh stuff to the noids at the line. Just wanted to give you a heads up that you might want to fill a bottle with Co2 if you just want to purge around town. Good luck, I would also not use clear tubing, get some rubberized and not the more plastic like as the quick cooling of the NO2 rushing through it could cause it to crack. It happened to my first set up. Just kidding about the Honda thing, I just finished my intake manifold install, and I am a little buzzy, and having some fun. I also voted blue as that is my current purge color.

If you don't go out the vents though, I'd do a v-purge where the yellow arrows are. That's how I'm wanting to run mine on the truck once I put the N2O on it.

I guess I didn't think I'd waste that much N2O by running the longer purge lines...

maybe i'll stick to the plain boring over the wind shield

It'll look fine where the yellow areas are. I had mine running out the back of my cowl induction hood on my 02 Z-28. It's still spray it over the roof, and it was a thick cloud of gas. Just don't let it spray on the windshield. Get the angle right. You don't want to have to buy a new windshield..

But I really like you quote in your sig. I hadn't ever heard that before and think it's pretty good.
