Default HELP NX wet kit install

Hey guys, I just recently got my kit in. It is an NX wet kit. I also bought the BMN window switch, NGK TR6 plugs, and the GenX2 upgrades. However, here is my dilemma. I currently have everything in my possesion except the upgrades and switch panel. I have a tough work schedule so I would like to install everything as quickly as possible. Should I wait for the upgrades to come in before I start installing stuff? What can I be installing in the mean time? How hard is it to change plugs? What is the easiest way to get plug #8?Guys I need HELP, first time nitrous kit for me.

You could go ahead and start mounting the bottle,solenoids,nozzle and main feed line.I would go ahead and install everything but the wireing.

Plug 8. Come in from the bottom. Use a 3" socket and put it over the plug without the ratchet. Once the socket is slipped over the plug, reach up and fit the ratchet onto the socket. I thought #6 was much more difficult. If you have AIR tubes, you'll need to remove the 2 bolts connecting to the exhaust manifold and slip the tube aside. Also, if you can... lay an old towel between the engine and frame... this may save you some cuts when you're reaching down there.

Those are not necessary to mount the bottle. The hole for the blowdown tube does not have to be perfect. You can bend it a little to make it work. The heater install is all electrical so it can wait. Just install all the mechanical stuff and leave the wiring to be done after you get everything.

I routed the main line through the car under the carpet on the passenger side. There is a rubber cover that you can route the line through under the computer. Just punch a hole through from the inside with a flat head and run it up. I go the whole line ran in 20 minutes doing this way. I had to use a block of wood also to space the top bracket for the nitrous bottle. Mounting the bottle I have found is the biggest pain in the *** with doing the nitrous installs. Good luck with it.
