why would i need a new windshield??

okay, so I'll go with spraying from the yellow

how do you guys run it up there? mount it underneath the hood or zip tie it somewhere? anybody have some close up shots?

Since the nitrous is well over 100 degrees below zero, you don't want to accidently spray it on your windshield, which will be alot warmer. It'll either break or crack severely. I ran mine with -4 hardline over the fuel rail, then ran it under the cowl and centered it to the hood. I can't find any pics of it yet.

Isnt your honeycomb big enough for a small diameter hard line to go through it?

Heres how I did mine..
Granted its a completely different animal but sam principal should apply..




Call it rice if you like but I love it!

The best I've seen was on a Cobra, had the lines going to the fender then blowing the purge out the mouth of the snake. Pretty sweet. I'd like to see a T/A purged out the ram air vents in person..just incase this sudden urge to put nitrous on my car happens.

Flipper -- what size hard lines are you using? I was going to use 5/16" hard lines, I dunno if they'll fit.

is the tube sticking past the honey comb or are you blowing through it? if your blowing through it, I would think the nitrous would make that plastic honey comb really brittle.

do you have any pics of how you have it running underneath the hood?

can you get a snap shot of the purge? i'm afraid that those lines will be too small for me, i.e. too small of a cloud

My purge is brake line from NAPA. Works real well...i need to get pix but it comes out right in front of the drivers side rear view mirror...about where the VIN is. This was tricky but it sticks out of the plastic at the base of the windshield...I cap it off to keep moisture from traveling down the tube to the solenoid. It doesn't make much sense to evacuate the lines where you can't see the cloud from the drivers position...to me anyway.

I set mine off a tee last year and had it spraying out the nostrils without piping into the hood at all. Looked like this:
