Default Questions on C5 NOS Install

I am installing nitrous on my 2001 C5 vert. I have bought a duel piller pod, Dyna tune wide band, Dyna tune nos control gauge, C-5 Kidd custom duel gauge console, nos pressure gauge, fuel pressure gauge, Raptor shift light, Nitrous Dave's digital window switch, timing tuner, dedicated fuel system, TNT power ring system, purge kit, low fuel pressure safety switch, bottle warmer, and bottle opener.

I am looking for info on installation. best location for control boxes and relays, best place for shift light, best place for purge, best way to wire this up. Any help would be appreciated

Thanks Kris

You can hide the bottle in the center cubby in the trunk, I went for more overt.

Here is a guide that used for most of my set up
Hot Rod C-5 install at the Vette Doctors

Thanks for the info, this gives me a good idea where to start. It looks like the battery area is the best place for all relays and control boxes.

Do you run a timing tuner?

No I am dabbling with EFI Live and tuning.

Here are some of the better pics.



I have moved the LC-1 Wideband to the torque tube tunnel.

I bought a spare battery surround (no holes in it) for $13 from eklers or corvette america, should I take the nitrous out I will just replace the surround with the replacement.


Double sided sticky tape for attaching the Window Switch


Hose runs and wire runs, everything down the passengers side.

Grounds

passenger door mid level




Factory pigtail for switched power in passenger footwell (wrapped in black duct tape from the factory.







Spare track bottle

Here is where I put the pillar pod retaining plugs


Top Plug


Bottom Plug hidden when door is closed, vent held in place with double sided sticky tape on the back side so it cannot slip through the existing cutout.
