Default First Nitrous Install 95% Complete *pics*

Note, before you see the pictures... realize this won't be the most professional, clean looking install you've ever seen. The goal was a good kit,with as much safety as possible, capable of 150rwhp for under 800$. This was my first nitrous installation and I am a total electric noob. This took me forever to complete but I am satisfied with everything as it is now.


I found a used HSW Sudden Impact kit from a user on here, for 350$ shipped. I then purchased the HSW Microedge controller new. I came well in under budget for what I think is a full featured kit.


The kit has a FPSS, NPSS, HSW Bottle heater, purge etc. I built a switch panel out of sheet metal and mounted my switches and microedge to it for easy access.









I used strong velcro to attach the controller to the dash, as I wanted it to be easily removed if need be.
I will prob eventually paint the sheet metal a gloss black to somewhat match the dash.


The car should make 400-410rwhp on motor, and hopefully this kit will put me around the 550 mark. The car ran 11.4 @ 120 the other day, cam only, on a mail order tune. I have since redone all the shocks and springs with comp eng and QA1's so hopefully I will be closer to 10's on motor and bottom 10's on this budget kit.

I would say it doesnt look bad. its hard to install professionally when you havent done it alot, i know. i think you could make it look a ton better though if you move that microedge to the right some, and drilled a hole to the left for your loom to go through. that would even look more clean and it would take 5 minutes. you are running some mean *** times and good traps. i wish i lived that close to the ocean!

Use black wire loom for every single wire/steel braided line. It'll make it look a lot cleaner
