You also need a return style regulator. Those cheap China made regulators that Summit sells are supposed to be non-return, but they suck. They are about as usefull as a storm door on a submarine. You will get pressure creep so you will have more fuel pressure than you jetted for.

15ft of hose after a non-return style regulator = BIG Problems
Also I'm not overly excited about venting the fuel cell into the trunk... You should concider hooking a hose up to the vent and route it out of the trunk.

I am not trying to be an *** but you may want to tripple check everything else. With the horrible planning and simple mistakes made on this set up you should make sure no more were made under the hood. Much rather you be safe and not blow up your motor then another mistake costing your thousands.

OK well obviously you aren't taking constructive criticism. The pump being above the bottom of the tank, not venting it out of the trunk. Non return regulator, I would call that bad planning. The pump being below the tank is #1 priority with an electric pump and you mis-planned that. I am trying to save you thousands but if you want to wright me off as a dick go ahead. When you run into problems from something else we might know why.
We all make mistakes but you made allot of them and clearly showed you didn't do any research or planning ahead. Good luck.

He does NOT have to use a return regulator. The Holley 803 is the most popular regulator used today in nitrous applications. This is called a dead head system. Take some time and read the link I posted earlier. You will find how popular this setup is... You will also find that not everyone agrees on it also. Tuner preference.

The regulator I was going to most other posts saying it wasn't the best idea. The biggest issue that any research should have prevented would have been the placement of the pump.

We have used the Holley regulators on many of set ups.. But just like any other part they need to be properly installed.
You can not place the regulator at the back of the car. It needs to be at the front with a return back to the tank. Otherwise you will have 16ft of fuel hose full of air when the system engauges...
You can use the parts you have very easily by taking that regulator and drilling and taping a return port into the face of it. Then put a plate fitting there with a jet. You will then run a return line back to the tank.
Another way of doing this is a bleed off/return fitting at the solenoid with the return jet.
Either way the regulator needs to be up front.
