I've never seen a hidden wet kit. Dry kit nozzles can come up through the air filter. It's almost impossble to find it, even when your looking for it - when it's done right.

The problem with a hidden wet kit is you, have to contend with the schrader vavle connection for the fuel.

To get around the schrader valve, I have seen people hook the solenoid directely to it rather than running a line to the fuel solenoid.
Also...
Who are you trying to hide it from. I was able to hide it from the techs at my track last weekend. This is an NX kit. It is not the most well hidden system, but I am EXTREEMLY happy with how it turned out:

Not to flame you, but in the drag racing world the word "nitro" refers to nitro methane.

I know someone that consistently spray a 175 dry shot, on a stock LS1 motor at that. So just go with a dry kit.

Your track officials didn't notice your kit? Are you kidding me?


What the hell track do you go to? Was it bring your daughter to work day and she was doing tech? Jesus H Christ man, a blind midget could spot that kit a mile away. Wrapping something in split loom does NOT make it stealth.


ANYTHING coming off of the fuel rail at the test port is a dead giveaway for nitrous. If you want a hidden wet kit, you'll need to find an auxillary fuel source.

There is also no real good way to hide the nozzle.



If you want hidden, go dry. Check out nitrodave's halo system.

I agree that my kit is not hidden from anyone who knows ANYTHING about nitrous. But at Rocky Mountain Raceway in SLC, every day is bring your daughter to work day. Seriously, they are a bunch of white trash dumbasses. I knew full well that I could get away with it, and I did. It seems to work for most people who don't know nitrous very well... Most people don't know nitrous very well.

In that case, glad it served your purpose. Why did you have to hide it from tech anyways? Were you not fully compliant with blowdown tube and everything?
