Running lines through interior.... any issues with this? Hey guys,
About to attempt my first nitrous install and going for a stealth setup. At first, I had planned to run the nitrous line through a false fuel line under the car to make it look "factory" but I figure it will be easier to just run the line under the carpet of the interior.
Just want to make sure there are no issues with running the nitrous lines through the interior (under the carpet).
Thanks for the help and answering the newb question.

some say no but i have known MANY MANY people who did it this way..myslef included.. i just ran it down alongside the rocker panel like you would some stereo power wire..make sure you dont pinch it or run a screw through it when you go to screw the panels down.. i came up through the hole that is directly behind the pcm..you will have to remove the pcm to get at the hole..i cannot remember if i had to use a bigger gromment or not..if anything put plenty of electrical tape around the hose or whatever you have to do to keep it off of the bare metal when it passes through the firewall...

I ran mine the same way. I would put some convoluted tubing around the the main feed line when you get to the fire wall to keep it from rubbing holes in any of the wires you'll pass by. When braided line vibrates it'll chew stuff up pretty good. Same goes for the engine bay, make sure it's not touching any paint, or unprotected wires.

Kinda off the subject a bit but, I am doing my nitrous install tomorrow and wanted to know where the hole for the PCM is. How do I take the PCM out to run the nitrous line, and do I need to take the dash off/apart to do it?

Under the hood, on the passanger side near the firewall you can find the computer, there are a couple of 10mm bolts that hole the bracket to the fender, take to bolts out and wiggle the computer and bracket out, it takes a little prying but it will come out. one you get it out you will see the grommet that everyone is speaking of. No need to take the dash off

From what I've been told both NHRA and IHRA want you to run all the lines outside the car. I don't think they would ever catch it unless you have to go for chassis certs.
